Does the XPT02Z come with a battery and charger?

No. It is sold as a bare tool, so you need an 18V LXT battery and charger, or the AC adapter, separately.

Can it run on AC power?

Yes. With Makita's hybrid AC adapter it runs from a wall outlet, which is useful when batteries are empty or you are working indoors.

It adds corded operation and multiple modes, but it is heavier and not the most powerful driver in the lineup.

Driving screws and lag bolts in decking, framing, cabinets and general assembly, especially for people already on the LXT platform.

Yes. A built-in LED illuminates the work area, which helps in cabinets, closets and under decks.

The brushless motor, hybrid power and extra modes justify it for frequent users; occasional users may not need the corded option.
