About the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless High Torque 1/2" Sq. Drive Impact Wrench with BL Brushless Motor, 3-Speed, Tool Only - XWT08Z
Maximum power, efficiency, and comfort in one compact tool!
The Makita XWT08Z impact wrench is engineered for high-powered performance, delivering an exceptional 740 ft-lbs. of fastening torque and a staggering 1,180 ft-lbs. of nut-busting torque, making it perfect for heavy-duty applications like automotive repairs, industrial assembly, and construction tasks. Its BL brushless motor is electronically controlled for optimal efficiency, ensuring up to 50% longer run time per charge. The motor eliminates carbon brushes, allowing it to run cooler, quieter, and with reduced maintenance while dynamically adjusting torque and RPM to meet the application’s demands.
Featuring a 3-speed power selection switch, this impact wrench offers precise control with speeds ranging from 0-900/0-1,000/0-1,800 RPM and 0-1,800/0-2,000/0-2,200 IPM, allowing versatility for a wide range of fastening tasks, from delicate precision work to heavy-duty bolting. The 1/2" anvil with a friction ring ensures quick and easy socket changes, improving workflow efficiency. Despite its high power, the impact wrench is thoughtfully designed with comfort and durability in mind. At just 9 inches long and weighing only 8 lbs. with the battery (not included), its compact and ergonomic design reduces operator fatigue, even during long sessions. The rubberized soft grip handle and flexible joint not only enhance operator comfort but also protect the battery from excessive wear and tear.
Additional features like dual built-in L.E.D. lights with preglow and afterglow illuminate the work area, allowing for precision work in low-light conditions, while the electric brake maximizes productivity by quickly stopping the rotation when needed. The easy-to-use forward/reverse switch allows seamless operation for screwing and unscrewing with minimal effort. Backed by Makita's legacy of quality, the proprietary hammer and anvil impact mechanism is crafted using premium raw materials and advanced heat-hardening processes, ensuring maximum durability and power.
Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls, the tool is safeguarded against overloading, overheating, and over-discharging, protecting both the tool and the 18V LXT lithium-ion battery system for consistent, long-term reliability. Whether you’re tackling stubborn lug nuts, assembling structural beams, or handling industrial maintenance tasks, the Makita XWT08Z impact wrench delivers the torque, precision, and durability needed for professional results in the toughest of jobs.
