Makita XDT16 review

I appreciate all the concerns people have had about my absence for the last three days, but trust me, nothing's wrong. I want to share with y'all a video where I do a review on a tool y'all have seen me use many times before. It's the Makita XDT-16. now makita has not sponsored any part of this um nobody has sponsored any of my videos as of so far but i want to explain why i like this one so much i've had my hands on the dewalt 877 and i actually gave it away because i didn't like it i've been able to use the milwaukee gen 3 impact all of them have more power and more speed than anything we need in the HVAC industry what I like about this is the customizability of what you can do with it I'll try to get this where you can see it you got four speeds here then you got two tightening modes and two tech modes that's tech one and um I'll try to show you it stops after three impacts but even that sometimes is too much for sheet metal screws it'll strip them out so what I do I was able to program this button right here to just be speed one and as you can see it's a lot slower and you're much less likely to strip out screws if you hit the button again it goes back to the previous let's put it on four so I'm hitting this button it goes to my programmed mode which is speed one hit it again it goes to the previous mode which is speed four now there are times when we need a lot of speed and um power out of our impacts and this has more than enough to meet those demands i've been able to turn these i have broken a chuck ripped it completely in half with this impact not not this one but the same model but i like this one because i can change speeds with one hand without having to set it down and use another hand to change the speed like i had to with the 877 if i'm working and holding something i can just hit the button and it automatically changes this is one of my favorite tools and i plan on doing some videos of some of my other favorite tools but this is the top of the line 18 volt impact i have not used the 40 volt but i've seen some specs on it and it's just a little bit bigger this one is so short it's as short as some of the old angle grinders not angle grinders but the angle drills that we used to have um i love it it's just one of my my favorite tools and i wanted to explain why i like it so much and that's just one of the reasons i continue to use and support makita don't forget to like and subscribe more videos on the way see you tomorrow
