Good morning guys, I’m about to get my first impact driver to work with wood and concrete. i need your advice because I don’t know which one will be better for me, between Makita XDT01Z and Makita LXDT06Z… the XDT01Z it looks powerful just let me know if I`m right. the Makita XDT01Z and the Makita LXDT06Z

The LXDT06Z is now outdated. It has been replaced with a more compact and faster XDT09Z. Virtual all of the guys that I have sold the XDT09Z to have absolutely no complaints and they love it.

Xdt09z is great. LxdTo6z is good, it has the 3 modes but from reviews that I’ve seen its not as strong as the Dewalt or Milwaukee. I had the Japanese version of the xdt09z and its very powerful

If you can get a hold on the forementioned xdt09 then you got the fastest and most versatile impact driver around 🙂

The XDT09 is amazing, the best by a mile.

I’m not sure what the difference is between XDT06 and XDT01, but whichever is the same as the DTD145, is just a good as the Milwaukee FUEL or Dewalt BL.
