The Makita XDT16T is an 18V brushless cordless impact driver kit built for heavy fastening work. It delivers 1,600 in-lbs of torque and up to 3,600 RPM with a four-speed selector, plus Quick-Shift and Assist modes that help prevent cam-out and cross-threading. The body is short at about 4-9/16 inches and weighs roughly 3.4 lbs with a battery, so it fits tight spots and overhead work better than bulkier high-torque drivers. It suits framers, remodelers and serious DIYers who want precise control; rivals like DeWalt and Milwaukee match its torque, but few offer this many drive modes.

Owners and reviewers rate the XDT16T highly for its power, compact length and the control the drive modes give. Many call it one of the best all-around 18V impact drivers, though some note the weight and the mode selector take getting used to.
The Makita XDT16T is an 18V LXT lithium-ion cordless impact driver with a brushless motor. It delivers up to 3,600 RPM and 1,600 in.lbs. of maximum torque. A 4-speed power selector sets the speed and impact rate, and a one-touch selector button sits under the chuck.
Quick-Shift Mode uses the motor's electronic controls to balance speed and torque for each application. Assist Mode drives at low speed until tightening begins, which helps prevent screw cam-out and cross threading. Two Tightening Modes drive self-drilling screws in thick or thin gauge metal and help prevent damage to the screw or workpiece. Reverse rotation auto-stop mode stops rotation and impact once a fastener is loosened adequately.
The tool is 4-9/16" long and weighs 3.4 lbs. with the battery. It has a rubberized soft grip, an all-metal gear housing and built-in LED lights on both sides. Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) provides increased dust and water resistance. The one-touch 1/4" hex chuck allows quick bit changes.
