The XDT14Z is an 18V LXT brushless 3-speed impact driver with Quick-Shift Mode technology. The BL brushless motor delivers 1,550 in.lbs. of max torque across three precision speed settings (0-1,100 / 0-2,100 / 0-3,600 RPM), and the compact 4-5/8 in. body weighs only 3.3 lbs. with battery. Tightening Mode (T-Mode) reduces screw stripping by downshifting before the fastener seats.
What is Quick-Shift Mode on the XDT14Z?
Quick-Shift Mode uses the brushless motor's electronic controls to automatically find the optimal balance of speed and torque for each fastening application.
Does the XDT14Z come with batteries?
No, the XDT14Z is a tool-only model. The XDT14T includes two 5.0Ah batteries and a charger.
How does the XDT14Z compare to the XDT13Z?
The XDT14Z adds three speed settings and Quick-Shift Mode technology over the single-speed XDT13Z, plus slightly higher max torque (1,550 vs 1,500 in.lbs.).
What batteries work with the XDT14Z?
Any 18V LXT battery is compatible, from the compact 2.0Ah BL1820B up to the 6.0Ah BL1860B. Star Protection batteries are recommended for best performance.
Can the XDT14Z remove lug nuts?
The XDT14Z is an impact driver, not an impact wrench. Its 1/4 in. hex chuck is designed for bits, not sockets. For lug nuts, use a compatible impact wrench like the XWT series.
