The Makita XLT01Z is an 18V LXT cordless angle impact driver with a 1/4 in. hex chuck, delivering 530 in.lbs. of max torque and up to 3,000 IPM. The low-profile angle head allows driving in areas where a straight impact driver cannot reach — behind panels, in tight corner spaces, and between studs. Variable speed from 0 to 2,000 RPM gives control in sensitive applications. At 3.9 lbs. with battery, it is a practical addition to any electrician or carpenter's tool collection. Tool only — battery and charger sold separately.
What is the XLT01Z used for?
The XLT01Z is an angle impact driver designed for driving screws and bolts in confined spaces where a straight driver cannot fit. It is popular with electricians driving box screws and breakers in panels, and carpenters driving fasteners between studs or behind obstructions.
What size chuck does the XLT01Z have?
The XLT01Z has a 1/4 in. hex chuck that accepts any standard 1/4 in. hex-shank screwdriver bit, nut setter, or drill bit adapter.
How much torque does the XLT01Z produce?
The XLT01Z delivers up to 530 in.lbs. of max torque — sufficient for #6 through #12 wood screws and most 1/4 in. structural screws. For heavier-duty fastening with a square-drive 3/8 in. socket, look at the XLT02Z angle impact wrench.
How does the XLT01Z differ from the XLT02Z?
The XLT01Z uses a 1/4 in. hex chuck for screwdriver bits and is designed for driving screws; the XLT02Z has a 3/8 in. square drive for sockets and is designed for fastening and loosening bolts. Both have the same angle head design for tight-space access.
Is the kit version (XLT01) still available?
The XLT01 kit with 3.0Ah batteries has been discontinued. The XLT01Z tool-only remains available. Pair it with existing 18V LXT batteries or purchase a starter kit separately.
What batteries are compatible with the XLT01Z?
All Makita 18V LXT slide-style batteries with the Star symbol are compatible. The compact BL1820B (2.0Ah) or BL1830B (3.0Ah) are popular with this tool because they keep the overall assembly light for overhead and panel work.
