Makita XST01Z 18V Cordless Impact Driver 1/4 Inch 3200 Rpm

Product Description

The MAKITA XST01Z is an 18-volt cordless impact driver built for professional fastening applications in electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and general construction trades. It accepts 1/4 inch hex shank bits and delivers up to 3,200 RPM across three selectable speed settings, allowing the user to match output to the fastener and material. Maximum torque is rated at 355 inch-pounds, making it capable of driving large fasteners through framing, sheet metal, and structural assemblies. At 2.76 pounds and 5-3/8 inches in overall length, the tool is compact enough for confined spaces common in mechanical and electrical rough-in work. Battery is not included; the tool accepts compatible 18-volt lithium-ion packs.

The XST01Z is suited for residential and light commercial installation work where a compact, high-torque driver is needed. Electricians use it for panel and device fastening, HVAC techs for sheet metal screws and equipment mounting, and plumbers for fixture and bracket installation. The three-speed selector makes it versatile across a range of fastener sizes and materials without requiring a separate driver. Its pistol grip handle provides control in both horizontal and overhead orientations.

Installation Notes

Installation of this tool into a workflow requires a compatible 18-volt lithium-ion battery and charger, sold separately. Always remove the battery before changing bits or performing any maintenance. Use only impact-rated driver bits; standard drill bits are not designed for the rotational hammering action of an impact driver and may fail under load. Follow applicable OSHA and jobsite safety requirements when operating power tools overhead or in confined spaces.
