Great review. Very thorough and no BS. Thanks for putting this video together.
Your welcome. I'm glad you found it helpful.
It's a fantastic impact wrench. I got mine to remove lug nuts as well. Breaks loose 140lbs with ease. I love how compact and light it is and blown away at its power.
Totally agree. I used it all weekend and each time I use it, it makes me happy I have it.
Finally a real practical test! great video!
Thank you.
Great review and explanations ! It's a beast for being compact. I really like mine. I rarely use my bigger one anymore.
Thank you. Totally agree. I love Makita impacts!
This tool is great and the XWT17 mid torque is also amazing. Makita for the win big time. The 12v and 18v ratcheting wrench is also a great automotive must have.
I agree. Even though I don't need the mid torque, I wish I had gotten it just because I'd have all that extra power if needed. I will have to look into the ratcheting wrench. I know it would be real nice.
I loved the fakeout with the puny driver!
Haha thank you. I'm trying to get better at making the videos more entertaining along with educational for all of you. I appreciate you letting me know. It all helps with the future videos.
Such a nice tool!
I totally agree. I really like the way Makita's are set up and work.
I think some great footage to include is how this "compact" impact driver fits in an engine bay. That will show whether or not the head or battery will interfere with getting bolts out of a cramped setting. If you still have this tool that would be a great video
Thanks for the great idea. I will incorporate that next time I do an impact wrench video. The compactness is one of my favorite things about this impact. I don't have this one anymore, but my dad does so I can get it no problem. I've upgraded to a little bigger one only because my dad has this one in case one of us needed a little more power for some reason. Plus I can do a new video lol
At the Depot store right now you are able to get this impact wrench for $100.50 with the hack. It comes with a free gift of a 5ah battery and if returned you get $82 back from the $182 price. Because of this it does go out of stock but I’ve seen it restock three times so far.
That is an amazing price. Thanks for letting us know.
Just ordered one today they had 83 in stock. You can also hack the more powerful xwt17 for around $160
@@bighammer822 That has me very tempted on the XWT17. I bet that one is a beast.
@@tgltoday2717 yeah I know I bought the gen 1 fuel mid torque deal of the day back in Nov debating returning it and getting the xwt17 which is more powerful.
HD hack? Is it a coupon?
finally a real review. all the professionals out there talk too much crap. thgank you for making this
You're welcome. I'm glad you found it helpful.
Xdt12 impact drill xdt16 impact drill have that glow in the dark rubber ring. That’s how I found out too
I think it's so weird that the XDT14 doesn't since it has more then one speed where as the XDT13 is more of a basic one speed impact. But maybe they consider the XDT14 an upgrade to the 13 and the XDT16 and upgrade to the 12.
I have a 3/8" XDWT16 and it works fine for lug nuts too! Great size, I love the thing! It's loud on them lug nuts though, but I use my 1/2" Ingersoll Rand pneumatic for those :p. I can't wait to get the 1/4" & 3/8" swappable cordless ratchet next!
Also, the variable speed setting... I remember reading somewhere in the descriptions that one of them was stepped digital speeds and the other emulates a pure analog trigger. I could be wrong though.
And dont double (or more) click your torque wrench. One click, and stop. You're adding extra torque when you double-click, and wearing down your wrench quicker, meaning it's less accurate sooner.
Edit: i was way off, lol. Guess I was confusing with something else. From Maktia's site, on the XWT16Z page:
"Full speed mode function reduces trigger pull to reach full speed"
And:
"The electronically-controlled brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application"
No worries, Makita has so many different impact drivers and wrenches and they do so many things, I have a hard time remembering what does what 😅
Nice I bet that ratchet will be really nice. I see a lot of guys love the ratchets no matter the brand just as a super useful too. If I did more mechanical work I'd get one but I'm trying not to wrench in things these days lol
Just got this with the 1-1/8” sds drill kit + vac, and they threw in a 5.0. Really considering this or keeping my m12 stubby. And I’m a HUGE Milwaukee fan but lately I’ve been getting into makita. I also have the m18 mid torque last gen, but really considered getting the Xwt17z to replace, rather than the new gen m18 mid torque. Recently purchase makita rear handle to replace m18 rear handle. Lol what is happening to me.
Your not the first to use a Makita and then slowly start switching all your tools over. Their impacts and like handled tools fit so well in the hand and also work really good in my opinion. SDS is on my bucket list. Glad you are liking your new tools.
@@tgltoday2717 yeah that sds deal was $479 at the depot. Hell of a deal. Could not pass it up. I watched vids from Shop tool reviews on the stubby and the makita in this vid of yours. Both are great. Milwaukee hits about 350 ft/lbs nut busting, and it’s a smaller form factor, so will just keep that one, sell the makita. But seriously considering the new makita mid torque to replace my m18 mid torque, rather than get the new m18 mid torque.
@@CP-ok1gv did your old mid torque stop working or not work right anymore?
@@jonathangarzon2798 not at all. Works fine. Have barely used it honestly. But may sell and replace with new makita mid torque since it has more power than new gen mid torque and can get for $155 if you return the battery at depot. Gotta wait for it to come back in stock. Wouldn’t do anytime soon though.
Most of us will eventually end up with Makita, my advice to newcomers is to not waste money on intermediate brands, go straight to Makita XGT 40 volt. Seems like a steep price but since you will end up there anyway you can save money by going directly. So thats my advice, go straight to Makita and Audi. And Chinese girls, but it was already kinda too late when i found that out.
There's a small button on the front side right above the trigger that lets you switch between speeds without having to click the button you were pressing.
Thanks for the tip. I will check it out. I noticed there is a short cut like that on their impact drivers so I'm not surprised they built one in on wrench as well.
@@tgltoday2717 you know what, disregard my comment. I've been YouTubing tests on the Impact Driver and found this video. I didn't realize this was the wrench. I just clicked immediately to the testing potion and from a quick glance it looked like the impact. Let me know if you find out it does have a quick switch function though!
@@andresirodriguez haha no problem. Yes they do look very much a like. That is one of the things I like about this impact wrench, it also feels a lot like the impact driver to me. What impact driver are you looking at? I've got the xdt 14, 15 and 19.
@@tgltoday2717 I have the XDT16Z! I love it. I saw a clip of someone using a Makita to raise and lower their car jack and so I started YouTubing videos to see something more in-depth and came across your video along the way!
@@andresirodriguez Gotcha. I always wanted the xdt16. From what I've seen that is one heck of a nice impact driver.
Oh wow that sounds really cool. I'm going to see what I can find out about that car jack as well. Thanks for telling me about it.
Fun Fact: The rubber cover at the end glows in the dark. Just found that out the other day 😁
Yes it does. It's best for sure. Some of their impact drivers also glow in the dark. I was excited when I first found out. Lol
Thinking of this or m18 like settings better on thus one but not as strong as the m18
Check this one out. I think the settings are the same and it has 520 ft-lbs of fastening and 740 ft-lbs of nut busting. I've not used it, but I don't think you will be disappointed. Unless you are talking about the M18 High Torque. www.homedepot.com/p/Makita-18V-LXT-Brushless-Cordless-4-Spd-Mid-Torque-1-2-in-Sq-Drive-Impact-Wrench-w-Detent-Anvil-with-Bonus-18V-5-0Ah-Battery-XWT18Z-BL1850B/315697683
@Derek Claycomb Does the pin do a good job at keeping the socket on, or do you still sometimes find it will get stuck on a lug nut when you take it off?
Now, 9 months later, the XWT14 is still the most powerful compact. You must have compared it to the M18 midtorque.

The stupid Toyota oil change guys blasted the nuts on with their air impact way over 150ft/lbs on my Tundra with the alum wheels. Got the case of "swollen nuts." Look it up. I had to replace all my nuts which costed $300. Keep your nuts at 97ft/lbs.
Holy cow that is crazy. $300. I believe it. I keep having issues every time they rotate my tires on my rav4. I can't get the nuts off with my 2ft breaker bar. I don't know what they are torqueing them to but its way over spec and when I ask about it they tell me 80 ft lbs.
My F150 lug nut spec is 150Ft lbs...I'd imagine all half ton trucks are the same.
80ft lbs is what our kia sedan is rated for lol.
Its not uncommon. My dads Focus was ruined by an unskilled employee at a shop, lugnuts were so tight that they made a loud squeeking sound for the first 180 degrees, i just tightened it back on and convinced him to trade in the car, too much bolt damage, 20 bolts. Later the same shop was gonna change a wheel on my old x-over suv, i insisted to assist/oversee the job, they said customers not allowed inside, so i changed the wheel outside with my own tools and never dealed with them again.
@@tgltoday2717..it's because we don't, lol. Double-tap, that's all... But probably some newbies are not confident enough and are clacking away at them. At least at my Toyota. Not enough time.
@@evictioncarpentry2628 I've got an F-150 now and my lug nuts were so swelled up when I went to change the tires, I wasn't sure I'd get them off. I had to go up two socket sizes and then I couldn't get the lug nut out of the socket. lol
240 ft lbs isn't mid torque
I agree. Up until the recent release of the xwt18, Makita didn't have a true mid torque that I'm aware of and this was what filled the gap. Dewalt's mid torque is 330 ft lbs but Makita's new xwt18 is 520 ft lbs. So as the new one's come out, the numbers keep going up and what we once thought of as mid torque numbers just are not anymore. I'm guessing Dewalt and the rest will now try to match Makita's new one and then there current mid torques won't be considered mid torque anymore I'm thinking. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.
It does a lot more than 240, Makita is extremely conservative in their claims on this one. It is in the ballpark of miodtorques from just a few years ago.
@@pflaffik there wasn't a mid torque years ago
@@russellleahy 240 tightening, 430 nut busting. Check out the Torque Test Channel review to see how it ranks (spoiler - it’s good)
@@superspeeder that isn't the mid torque impact
