Is the XDT131X2 powerful enough for lag bolts?

Yes for most common sizes. It delivers 1,500 in-lbs of max torque, which handles deck screws and moderate lag bolts, though very large bolts may need an impact wrench.

What is included in the kit?

The XDT13Z impact driver, a DML186W LED flashlight, two 3.0Ah batteries, a rapid optimum charger and a tool bag.

Does it use the same batteries as other Makita 18V tools?

Yes. It runs on Makita's 18V LXT batteries, so it shares packs with the rest of the LXT line.

How long does the flashlight run?

Makita rates the included 6-LED flashlight at up to 55 hours of runtime on a 3.0Ah battery.

Does it have multiple speed settings?

No. It uses a variable speed trigger from 0 to 3,400 RPM rather than a separate speed selector.

What bit size does it take?

It has a 1/4-inch hex shank, the standard for impact driver bits.

What reviewers say

Owners of the XDT13 platform praise its compact size, smooth trigger control and reliable brushless motor. Many call it a strong value as a kit because it includes two batteries and a charger. Some wish the batteries lasted longer on heavy fastening jobs.

What people mention

Size and weightPraisedOwners say the short body and 3.3 lb weight make it easy to use in tight spots and overhead.
TorquePraisedReviewers report it drives long screws and lag bolts without bogging down.
Battery runtimeMixedThe 3.0Ah batteries are fine for light work but run down fast on sustained fastening.
Trigger controlPraisedThe variable speed trigger is described as smooth and easy to feather.
