Makita XWT17T 18V LXT Brushless Cordless 4-Speed Mid-Torque 1/2-Inch Square Drive Impact Wrench Kit

The Makita XWT17T 18V LXT Brushless Cordless 4-Speed Mid-Torque 1/2-Inch Impact Wrench Kit is a high-efficiency fastening solution engineered for automotive wheel service, steel erection, and industrial equipment maintenance. Powered by an electronically controlled brushless motor delivering 520 ft-lbs of maximum fastening torque and 740 ft-lbs of nut-busting breakaway torque, this 6.0-pound tool features a compact 6-11/16 inch length to operate inside restricted chassis quarters. Outfitted with a 4-speed power selection switch, 3 forward and 3 reverse auto-stop modes, a friction ring anvil for fast socket swaps, and two 18V 5.0Ah BL1850B lithium-ion batteries that recharge in 45 minutes on the included DC18RC rapid charger, this tool delivers portable bolt tightening power with Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) for dust and water resistance.

Best Used For:

  • Automotive Suspension & Wheel Service: Removing stubborn lug nuts and suspension arm bolts in tight wheel wells without using restrictive air hoses.
  • Structural Steel & Frame Assembly: Driving medium-diameter structural fasteners and lag screws into timber and steel building frameworks.
  • Precision Equipment Fastening: Utilizing auto-stop rotation modes to prevent over-tightening or stripping delicate machinery thread passes.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • BL Brushless Motor Architecture: Delivers 520 ft-lbs of fastening torque and 740 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque with up to 50% longer runtime per charge.
  • 4-Speed Power Selection Switch: Electronic speed control (0-500 / 0-1,200 / 0-1,900 / 0-2,200 RPM) matches output force to the application.
  • Auto-Stop Rotation Control: Features 3 forward and 3 reverse auto-stop modes that halt rotation once fasteners are loosened or seated to protect threads.
  • Friction Ring Drive Anvil: Heavy-duty 1/2-inch square drive hog ring anvil enables fast, secure socket retention and rapid manual socket changes.
  • Extreme Protection Technology (XPT): Internal protective rubber seals divert jobsite dust and water away from internal electronics.
  • Star Protection Computer Controls: System communication technology monitors heat, current, and voltage in real time to prevent overloading and overheating.
