Are you planning to buy new power tools this holiday season?

Makita has released three new power tools: the XFD17 driver drill, the XPH17 hammer driver drill, and the XWT20 impact wrench. Retailers including Acme Tools have begun taking pre-orders, though Makita has not said when the products will go on sale.

Why it matters

The launch adds three tools to Makita's 18V LXT lineup, giving home repair users drill and impact options at several price points. Buyers planning projects may need to wait, since shipping timing has not been confirmed.

The XFD17 and XPH17 deliver up to 580 in-lbs of torque at 1,900 RPM and weigh 3.7 pounds with a 3Ah battery, while the XWT20 provides 170 ft-lbs of fastening torque and 300 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque. Specifications come from Makita's product data; independent performance testing has not been reported.

The players

Makita

Makita is a Japanese manufacturer of power tools and outdoor equipment, known for its cordless LXT battery platform used across a wide range of professional and consumer tools.

Acme Tools

Acme Tools is a retailer of hardware and power tools that has begun taking pre-orders for the new Makita products.

The details

The XPH17 adds a hammer-drilling mode delivering up to 28,500 blows per minute, which the XFD17 does not include. The XWT20 is a 1/2 inch square drive compact cordless impact wrench with a built-in LED light, and all three tools are currently available for pre-order only.

End of October through end of 2026: Makita's seasonal product launch window and holiday discounts.
November 2026: Makita's product refresh including the three new tools.

Roadmap

The three tools extend Makita's 18V LXT battery platform, which lets owners share batteries across drills, drivers and impact tools. Adding a hammer-drill mode and a compact impact wrench to that system widens the options for homeowners who already own LXT batteries.

Homeowners who need these tools soon should check retailer listings for shipping dates before planning a project around them. Because the XFD17 and XPH17 share a battery platform, owners of existing LXT batteries can use them without buying a new power source.

The takeaway

If you already own Makita 18V LXT batteries, the XFD17 and XPH17 may let you add tools without a new battery purchase. Check pre-order and shipping terms carefully before committing to a delivery date.
