In this episode we take a look at the Makita XGT 40v max Impact driver. With some improvements over the 18v lxt models it features many modes to help in day to day work. How well does it stack up against other impact drivers on the market. Let's find out. OUTPOWER: Makita-built motor delivers 1,950 in.lbs. of Max Torque; out powers similar models in heavy load applications OUTSMART: Digitally controlled modes for a wide variety of applications; two tightening modes, one assist mode and three forward/reverse auto stop modes OUTLAST: XPT is engineered to provide increased dust and water resistance in harsh job site conditions Up to 50% faster speed with 4 speed settings (0-1,100/ 0-2,100/ 0-3,200/ 0-3,700 RPM & 0-1,100/ 0-2,600/ 0-3,600/ 0-4,400 IPM) Additional one-touch 4-speed power selector button under the chuck for added convenience Two Tightening Modes (T-mode) for faster tightening of self-drilling screws in thick or thin gauge metal; helps prevent damage to the screw or workpiece Assist Mode (A-mode) feature helps eliminate "screw cam-out" and "cross threading" by driving at low speed until tightening begins Three forward and three reverse Auto-Stop modes for increased efficiency Compact length at only 4-3/4"; ideal for working in tight spaces Ultra-smooth variable speed trigger provides optimum control Reinforced gear housing engineered for maximum job site durability The digital communication within XGT optimizes performance to provide up to 2X longer sustained power under heavy-load applications The digital communication within XGT actively monitors and protects against overload, over-discharge and overheating
