Description

Master Heavy-Duty Fastening with Precision Control

Elevate your automotive and fabrication projects with the Makita XWT18Z 18V LXT® Brushless 4-Speed Mid-Torque Impact Wrench. Designed for professionals who require a balance of raw power and compact maneuverability, this tool delivers unmatched performance in tight spaces. Powered by a Makita-built brushless motor, it generates an impressive 520 ft.lbs. of fastening torque and a massive 740 ft.lbs. of nut-busting torque, ensuring even the most stubborn, rusted-on bolts break free with ease. At only 6-11/16 inches long, it provides the access you need without sacrificing the power you demand.

Precision is at the core of the XWT18Z's design. It features a 4-speed power selection switch that allows users to tailor the speed and impact rate to the specific application, minimizing the risk of fastener damage. For enhanced efficiency, the tool includes three forward and three reverse Auto-Stop modes, plus a full-speed mode that reduces trigger pull travel for instant maximum RPM. Built to withstand harsh job site environments, it is engineered with Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) to resist dust and water. **Battery and charger sold separately.

Key Features

  • High-Torque Performance: Delivers 520 ft.lbs. of Fastening Torque and 740 ft.lbs. of Nut-Busting Torque for heavy-duty applications.
  • Precision Control: Features a 4-speed power selection switch (0-500 / 0-1,200 / 0-1,900 / 0-2,200 RPM) to match the tool to the task.
  • Intelligent Modes: Equipped with 3 forward and 3 reverse Auto-Stop modes to prevent over-tightening or fastener loss.
  • Compact Design: Measures only 6-11/16" in length, making it ideal for working in engine bays and confined areas.
  • Full Speed Mode: Shortens the trigger pull required to reach full speed, reducing operator hand fatigue during continuous use.
  • Extreme Durability: XPT™ technology provides protective seals against dust and water for operation in harsh conditions.
  • Secure Retention: 1/2" Square Drive with Detent Anvil ensures socket security during high-vibration tasks.
  • Work Area Visibility: Built-in L.E.D. light with an independent on/off switch illuminates dark workspaces.
