AI Review Summary:
Across retailer reviews, buyers consistently praise the XDT16Z’s compact size, balance, and precise control; Quick‑Shift, A‑mode, and T‑modes are frequently cited as making delicate fastening easier and preventing cam‑out. Many note strong power relative to its size and appreciate the dual LEDs and under‑chuck speed selector. Common positives include long runtime with 5.0Ah batteries and smooth, quiet brushless operation. Neutral/mixed feedback mentions a learning curve for the multiple modes and higher price compared to mid‑range drivers. A minority of negative comments point to the trigger being very sensitive and occasional wobble with worn bits. Representative quotes: “Tiny but a beast—controls keep screws from stripping,” “Modes take a minute to master, but then it’s perfect,” and “Great driver, just pricey for tool‑only.”
