The Makita XDT14T is an 18V brushless 3-speed impact driver kit with a 1/4 in. hex drive, one 5.0 Ah battery, charger and hard case. It delivers 1,550 in-lb of fastening torque, up to 3,600 rpm and 3,800 ipm, and weighs 3.3 lb. Its Quick-shift mode and T-mode set it apart from simpler single-speed drivers: Quick-shift balances speed and torque per application, and T-mode slows rotation and impact before the screw seats to limit thread stripping and breakage. It suits tradespeople and serious DIYers who drive a lot of screws and want precision control; against rivals it trades a little top-end speed for those modes and Makita's wide 18V LXT battery platform.

Owners and reviewers rate the XDT14T highly for its torque, compact balance and the Quick-shift and T-mode features, which they say reduce stripped screws and cam-out. Complaints center on the single battery in the kit and the learning curve of the precision modes.
The Makita XDT14T is an 18V LXT lithium-ion cordless impact driver with a brushless motor and a 1/4 in. hex drive. It delivers 1,550 in-lb of fastening torque in a compact body with a high power-to-weight ratio. A built-in LED light is included.
Quick-shift mode uses the brushless motor's electronic controls to balance speed and torque for each application. Tightening mode (T-mode) reduces rotation and impact speed before the screw is driven into place. It is designed to minimize screw thread stripping, screw breakage and damage to the work.
The tool has three speed and power settings and variable speed control. It is sold as a kit with a battery, charger and case.
