Unmatched Cordless Control: Heavy Duty 40V Brushless Motor Delivers 810 Ft-Lbs of Nut-Busting Torque

Take full control of heavy-duty fastening jobs with the Makita GWT08Z 40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless 4-Speed Mid-Torque 1/2-Inch Square Drive Impact Wrench. Engineered explicitly for automotive technicians, structural steel fabricators, and commercial installation trades, this powerful mechanic tool delivers the raw force of a high-torque pneumatic wrench with the uninhibited mobility of an advanced cordless system. Powered by a premium Makita-built digital brushless motor, it cranks out an incredible 560 ft-lbs of maximum fastening torque and a staggering 810 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque. Whether you are running down lag bolts or busting loose seized suspension components, this tool effortlessly matches its power to job demands.

Designed with jobsite intelligence in mind, the GWT08Z includes an electronic 4-speed power selection switch that prevents over-tightening or stripping delicate hardware. Precision tasks are enhanced by three forward and three reverse auto-stop rotation modes, which automatically cut power or reduce speeds the instant a fastener breaks free. Encased in an ultra-compact 6-11/16 inch frame that weighs only 6 lbs with a battery, it maneuvers seamlessly into tight wheel wells or cramped structural nodes. Backed by Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), internal mechanical components remain completely sealed from ambient rain, moisture, and concrete dust, ensuring uncompromised runtime endurance.

**Battery and charger sold separately.

Key Features

  • Makita-built brushless motor generates 810 ft-lbs of Nut-Busting Torque and 560 ft-lbs of Fastening Torque.
  • Intelligent electronic 4-speed selection system runs smoothly at up to 2,300 RPM and 2,900 IPM.
  • Equipped with 3 forward and 3 reverse rotation Auto-Stop modes to protect fasteners and prevent dropped nuts.
  • Full-Speed Mode function reduces trigger pull distance required to reach maximum velocity, minimizing finger fatigue.
  • Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) channels moisture and fine jobsite grit away from critical internal electronics.
  • Ultra-compact, ergonomic body layout measures only 6-11/16 inches in length for access into restricted cavities.
  • Innovative vibration-isolating flexible battery joint helps shield critical connection terminals from high-impact wear.
  • XGT intelligent digital communication protects the tool structure from thermal overloading and over-discharging.

Pro-Tip: To maximize productivity when performing repetitive overhead disassembly work, activate the Full-Speed Mode combined with reverse Auto-Stop. This settings profile decreases the physical trigger travel required to hit top speed immediately, and instantly shuts off rotation the millisecond the fastener breaks friction threshold—preventing nuts from launching across the shop floor.
