Worx WX261L
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Makita XDT13Z is an 18V LXT brushless impact driver designed for fastening applications with extended runtime and efficiency. Its main limitation is the single speed setting, which restricts versatility for delicate tasks. It is best suited for DIY enthusiasts and construction professionals needing a lightweight, reliable tool within the Makita 18V LXT ecosystem.
The Worx WX261L is a 20V brushless impact driver offering 2,100 in-lbs of torque and three distinct speed settings for versatile control. It stands out for its compatibility with the Worx Power Share ecosystem and includes a battery and charger in the box. However, its heavier weight and rapid battery drain on high settings may be drawbacks for intensive professional use.
