  • Works great, heavier than expected
Size: 1/2" Style: Impact Wrench Only
Torque is excellent, removes nuts my air impact won't get off. I like that it has 3 rpm/torque settings. Surprisingly heavy but fits my hand OK. Build quality is good, seems like it will take a lot of abuse.

  • Strong enough for ford F-350 lug nuts
Size: 1/2" Style: Impact Wrench Only
I drive a Ford F-350, and this Makita impact wrench is a real lifesaver on the road. It has more than enough power to handle stubborn lug nuts and makes the job so much quicker. The tool is a bit heavy, but that’s the trade-off for the strength it delivers. The grip feels solid and secure, which gives extra confidence when working. Solid, reliable, and absolutely worth having if you work with trucks ... show more

  • Just one more GREAT Makita power tool!
Size: 1/2" Style: Impact Wrench Only
I am huge fan of Makita power tools, and I own multiple Makita products. All of my Makita tools are corded except for my drill and now my impact. I have a 1/2" and 3/4" Ingersoll Rand air impacts that have tons of power and super reliable like most air tools. Unfortunately, I don't always have access to an air compressor, and I would prefer not to have to use manual hand tools to change a tire when I travel. I've been told by many people that the battery powered impact guns have plenty of power to the job and I can say that this Makita has more power than my 3/4" air impact. This impact is an absolute beast to put it lightly. I will suggest buying a 5.0- or 6.0-amp hour battery to use with this impact gun. If you're looking for a powerful impact that will last and probably replace all of you air impacts, buy the Makita! ... show more

  • Does the job with plenty of torque!
Size: 1/2" Style: Impact Wrench Only
I bought this as used like new. There was quite a discount from the new price. It didn’t come in the original box but all parts were there. There were also a couple small scratches that are barely noticeable. As for the tool, it worked like new. Right after opening, I grabbed a socket and checked to see it it would free the lugs on my truck. The lugs were tightened to 150# torque and came off easily. Removing lugs was one of the main reasons I bought it. That alone makes this tool worth having. I was fortunate to find it used, but It’s still a nice tool to have if you DIY any type of vehicle work. The portability is a big plus over air, I’ll be keeping it in my trucks tool bin just in case. ... show more

  • Makita XWT08Z 18V LXT – Serious Power
Size: 1/2" Style: Impact Wrench Only
I’ve trusted Makita for years, and this impact wrench is a beast. With 740 ft-lb of tightening torque and 1,180 ft-lb of breakaway torque, it easily destroys stubborn lug nuts. Heavy? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. The brushless motor runs smoothly, is cool, and will outlast cheaper tools. Built for real work. ... show more

  • Excellent quality and performance
Size: 1/2" Style: Impact Wrench Only
I bought this tool to use when changing or rotating wheels/tires on my travel trailer. These lug nuts are torqued to 115 foot pounds (or pound-feet if you aren't old like me) on 4 wheels, 5 lug nuts per wheel for a total of 20 lug nuts. This tool easily breaks these nuts loose and spins them off the 2 inch long threaded studs in about 2 seconds per each. Power to spare- no contest, no hesitation. Prior to this I had an air tool impact wrench that struggled with this same application. I hesitated to spend the significant amount of dollars to purchase this tool but now that I have it I'm very happy that I did spend that money and have a top of the line solution. No negatives in this design- durable, compact, efficient. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • This is power packed
Size: 1/2" Style: Impact Wrench Only
Purchased this because I have the Makita platform and I needed a 1/2 impact wrench for multiple tasks, one being removing stubborn rusted bolts on my vehicle while doing a suspension lift and upgrade. Positives, this is a power packed impact capable of removing some large stubborn bolts. There is very little vibration while using it. The lights is a great feature and functional. Negatives, it's heavy and with repeated use you will need to take breaks in between. Because of the weight, I found myself accidentally hitting the drive button while trying to remove a nuts while laying on back, I don't have this problem with my drills and smaller impact tools, just this one due to the weight and working in awkward positions. Overall this gets the job done and I no longer use my pneumatic impact tools. I would buy again but future redesigns should focus on weight, hence I give it 4 stars. ... show more
