I bought the XTD13 to replace my old DTD154. I got 4 years of hard work out of the old one but did find the trigger a little too sensitive and occasionally over drove or snapped a decking screw. The DTD154 had impressive grunt with 14guage screws especially into hardwood . By comparison the XTD13 is easier to control the power with the trigger and I don’t think I’ll miss the little extra torque or features of the more expensive models. XTD13 is Perfectly suited for roofing , decking screws and batten screws.

This unit replaces a Hitachi 18v that is still working but is nearly finished. Firstly, this will have enough power to screw anything into anything, quickly and easily. However the variable trigger works best at full power but is very difficult when trying to slow down when approaching depth, and often goes beyond what you’d like to achieve. Example: when putting 100mm batten screws into pine it easily pulls too deep or strips the thread as the variable speed is difficult to adjust when approaching full depth. With finer screws e.g. 8g or 10g star screws it is even worse as it’s almost impossible to set a consistent depth and easily can then break the head off. I’m not sure what the alternatives are for the this problem, perhaps the units with seperate speed switch. Unfortunately this won’t replace my old Hitachi impact even though I’ve switched brands and now have all Makita tools which I’m very happy with. Read full review

The product works a treat and is a lot quieter and lighter and smaller. I have one of the very first impact driver. 13-14 yo? Still working. But sometimes struggles.
