Makita Impact Wrench Kit XWT08T 18V LXT 1/2 Inch Brushless (740 ft lbs Fastening 1180 ft lbs Breakaway Torque Two 5.0Ah Batteries Charger Bag)

Makita XWT08T 18V LXT Brushless Cordless 1/2-Inch High Torque Impact Wrench Kit with (2) 5.0Ah Batteries

The Makita XWT08T 18V LXT Brushless 1/2-Inch High Torque Impact Wrench Kit is a heavy-duty cordless fastening system engineered for structural steel erection, industrial pipefitting, and commercial diesel chassis maintenance. Powered by an electronically controlled brushless motor producing 740 ft-lbs of maximum fastening torque and 1,180 ft-lbs of nut-busting breakaway torque, this 7.9-pound tool incorporates a 1/2-inch square drive with a friction ring anvil for rapid socket changes. Outfitted with an electronic 3-speed power selector (0-900 / 0-1,000 / 0-1,800 RPM), dual LED headlights, a vibration-isolating battery joint, and two 18V 5.0Ah BL1850B lithium-ion batteries that recharge in 45 minutes on the included DC18RC charger, this tool delivers portable high-torque bolt tightening without air hoses.

Best Used For:

• Structural Steel Bolt Erection: Torquing large A325 structural bolts and heavy hex nuts on commercial steel building frames and bridge trusses.
• Commercial Diesel Chassis Repair: Breaking loose seized suspension U-bolts, wheel lug nuts, and track pad hardware on heavy equipment and fleet trucks.
• Heavy Timber Framing & Pipefitting: Driving long 5/8-inch timber lag screws into pressure-treated lumber and securing high-pressure pipe flanges.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• High-Output BL Brushless Motor: Delivers 740 ft-lbs of max fastening torque and 1,180 ft-lbs of breakaway torque for demanding structural fastening.
• 3-Speed Electronic Power Selection: Variable 3-speed switch (0-900 / 0-1,000 / 0-1,800 RPM) allows technicians to dial in precise power levels to match fastener sizes.
• 1/2" Square Drive Friction Ring Anvil: Friction ring (hog ring) detent allows quick manual sliding of impact sockets on and off the drive anvil.
• Vibration-Isolating Battery Mount: Flexible rubber joint cushions the battery terminal connection from extreme anvil vibration to prevent contact wear.
• Star Protection Computer Controls: Direct communication technology between battery and motor guards against thermal overheating, over-discharging, and current overload.
• Rapid Optimum Fan-Cooled Charger: DC18RC fast charger actively cools the battery cells during charging to reach full 5.0Ah capacity in 45 minutes or less.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Always use impact-rated 6-point sockets with hog-ring retaining anvils; standard chrome hand sockets can shatter under 1,180 ft-lbs of breakaway torque when removing seized structural flange bolts.
