Does the XDT13Z come with a battery?

No. It is a bare tool, so you need an 18V LXT battery and charger separately.

How does it compare with the XDT14?

The XDT14 adds a three-speed selector and tighter fastening control; the XDT13Z is simpler and lighter.

What bits does it take?

It uses standard 1/4-inch hex shank bits, inserted in the one-touch chuck.

Is it strong enough for lag bolts?

With 1,500 in-lbs of torque it handles many lag bolts, though very large ones may need an impact wrench.

Which batteries work with it?

Any Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion battery, including the compact and larger capacity packs.

About the Makita XDT13Z 18V LXT Li-Ion Brushless Cordless Impact Driver Bare Tool

The Makita XDT13Z is an 18V LXT lithium-ion cordless impact driver sold as a bare tool, so the battery and charger are not included. It has a brushless motor that is electronically controlled to match torque and speed to the job. With no carbon brushes, the motor runs cooler and more efficiently. The motor is designed to give up to 50% longer run time per charge.

The driver is 5 inches long and weighs 3.3 lbs. with a battery. It has a rubberized soft grip and an all-aluminum gear housing. A one-touch 1/4 in. hex chuck allows quick bit changes, and two built-in LED lights illuminate the work area.

STAR Protection lets the tool and battery exchange data in real time during use. It monitors conditions to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. The tool also runs on Makita 18V LXT and compact lithium-ion batteries marked with the star symbol.
