- Does the XDT16Z come with a battery and charger?
- No. It is a bare tool, so you need a Makita 18V LXT battery and charger, sold separately.
- Which batteries does it use?
- Any Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion battery, from compact 2.0Ah packs to larger 5.0Ah and beyond.
- How does it compare with the XDT14?
- The XDT16Z adds a fourth speed setting and extra assist modes, plus more torque and a tighter body. The XDT14 remains a solid, cheaper alternative.

- What bits fit it?
- Standard 1/4-inch hex shank bits, including quick-change bit holders and socket adapters.
