You might want to put "hack" in the title on deals like this. Not everyone is comfortable doing this sort of thing.

That's a pretty nice price for the 14 after the hack. The 14 was one of my favorites for a while.

Anyone have experience with this one over the XDT16? I won't be doing anything more than framing lean-tos.

Basically the same performance as the xdt16/19 without the extra assist modes.

Looks like the 'hack' is fixed... unless im doing something wrong.
Cant ship the tool and leave the battery as pick-up.
Is it applicable to just do pickup for both and decide to return the bat?

If I recall you put the tool as pickup at a nearby store and the battery at a different store and just never pickup the battery.

I choose 2 different stores for pick up. Will pickup on the tool and wait for the battery to get cancelled. Will update once I see the $$ credited back to me.

You are right. Power/performance is identical. XDT14 has 3 speeds, a T mode (self tapping screw mode), wood driving mode, and the XDT16 has 4 speeds and 2 additional modes to what the 14 has.
The YT channel "Tools & Stuff" has a video comparing every Makita impact from a year ago. The only confusing aspect is if you are in the US, the model numbers are different than the rest of the world.

No experience - but, I would invest in whichever system you want to stay in. Makita and Milwaukee both make great tools and are personally my top two favorite brands.
