The XDT21 features a Makita-built brushless motor that delivers 3,700 Max RPM and 1,860 in.lbs. of Max Torque. It features 4-speed power selection (0-1,100/ 0-2,100/ 0-3,200/ 0-3,700 RPM & 0-2,000/ 0-3,600/ 0-4,200/ 0-4,400 IPM) providing precise fastening control for a wide range of applications. It is engineered with a dual ball bearing chuck to reduce bit wobble and run out.
The 4-Speed Impact Driver features Quick-Shift Mode™ and utilizes the brushless motor’s electronic controls to find the best balance of speed and torque for each application for more efficient fastening. It also features Tightening Mode (T-Mode) for faster tightening of self-drilling screws in thin gauge metal, which helps prevent damage to the screw or workpiece.
Convenience features include a rubberized soft grip that provides increased comfort on the job, convenient one-touch 1/4" hex chuck for quick bit changes, and built-in L.E.D. lights with preglow and afterglow functions. Additional features include a weight of only 3.6 lbs with battery for reduced operator fatigue as well as a compact and ergonomic design at only 4-3/4" long.
It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT® System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.
For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
