Description

"The 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 4-Speed Mid-Torque 1/2"" Sq. Drive Impact Wrench with Detent Anvil, Tool Only (XWT18Z) provides improved fastening control, ideal for automotive, installation, and fabrication trades. The impact wrench combines extended run time and speed control for unmatched fastening performance. It is powered by a Makita-built brushless motor for longer run time. The brushless motor delivers 520 ft.lbs. of Fastening Torque and 740 ft.lbs. of Nut-Busting Torque. Precise fastening control is achieved through the 4-speed power selection switch, which accounts for a wide range of applications. Additional precision features include three forward and three reverse rotation auto-stop modes, and a full-speed mode function that reduces the trigger pull to reach full speed. Makita's proprietary hammer and anvil impact mechanism are manufactured using the best raw materials with the highest quality steel and unique heat hardening process for maximum fastening and driving power. The XWT18Z features Makita's Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), a protective seal inside the tool. It is designed to improve a tool’s operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components. It is part of Makita’s 18V LXT System. The LXT Cordless System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide- style batteries, takes a user from power tools to outdoor power equipment to get the job done. Makita 18V LXT Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside."

  • Makita has good stuff. Check you don’t get a knock off.
Was skeptical of buying a tool like this off Amazon. Have had for a year or so and has been a great tool from a usefulness perspective. With all the knock offs with batteries may not buy tools off Amazon in the future. Assuming mine isn’t a knock off but I’m not sure how to tell. I ordered it from the Makita page on Amazon or they were listed as the seller at least. But it always seems to be shipped by someone else. Can’t figure it out. Maybe India has taken control of Amazon because those are the only people who answered the phones. Now there is no phone number to call and items listed as free shipping don’t offer free shipping unless you sign up for prime. No prime membership for this fella if I can’t even speak to an American customer service agent. No thank you. ... show more

  • Best tool to have for tough projects
Best tool to have for removing wheel nuts/ bolts/studs with ease. I do recommended buying the makita 6.0a battery with this tool. Worth the value, functions as it should. Very powerful tool to have. Its size it’s a bit big. Durability is excellent

  • Quality tool and very powerful.
This thing rips. I haven’t run into a single bolt it couldn’t remove for automotive. This has a detent anvil and recommend either swapping in the one from the XWT17 or getting that one if quick socket changes are an issue for you.

  • Great torque, has tackled every job with ease
This thing has great torque. So far it's busted loose every single bolt on my rusty Jeep without trouble. Lightweight, easy to hold, easy to use. Only complaint is the directional switch is too close to the grip so it's hard to keep switched when working with gloves. Only a minor detail, would buy it again over and over. ... show more

Should have gotten one of these years ago. Sure beats wrenching on lug nuts.

  • Good value for the specs but not perfect.
I'm not a mechanic, but I've been known to do some easier DIY mechanical work on my on personal vehicles. Small projects like replacing shocks, suspension bushings, etc... An impact wrench makes these jobs so much faster and easier. This is also a great addition to my car's emergency kit, for quick roadside tire changes. I went with Makita because they make great stuff and I'm already heavily invested in their 18v battery platform. I selected this particular model because it seemed to be the best bang for the buck in terms of performance, weight, features and price. I haven't really put it through the paces yet, but I did slap a battery in it and pull some lug nuts of my truck which was effortless. I love that it has multiple speed settings and multiple auto-stop modes to choose from. My only complaint is that the anvil doesn't hold the sockets as tightly as I'd like. They're not just falling off, but they certainly release much easier than other tools I have and/or have used, and I am a little concerned that with use it will get looser and sockets might start falling off. ... show more

  • Absolute monster!
Now this is what I call an impact wrench! It's certainly got some heft to it and laughs at lug bolts like they aren't even there. I suspect that if I have to bust this bad boy out for a rusty bolt, it will instantly fall out in fear of the pain this thing is about to inflict on it. I like that the removable clip is wide enough to fit over a 2x4, because makita isn't even pretending you'll want to carry this thing around on your hip. To the reviewer that thought the battery socket was broken, it's supposed to be loose. It's a flex joint so that you're not transferring the shock of the impacts to the battery. Also so that if you drop it, it flexes instead of just snapping the handle. Totally intentional and there was nothing wrong with your tool. ... show more

  • Overkill baby
That’s what I’m talking about . So much torque I almost flipped the car when I had the direction going to the right taking off the wheel , lol. Actually for automotive you will never struggle getting nuts loose. Great product , as most makita tools are. I buy them because I like the color, but they have held up so very well and I put them through it ! ... show more
