Makita XWT08Z 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless High-Torque 1/2" Sq. Drive Impact Wrench, Tool Only

My compressor is just taking up space & is ready for the scrap yard. Its been the 2nd one I work until it becomes scrap metal. I have seen these Cordless Impacts for years. I can't do many lil side hustles without a compressor. so I took a big chance on this Makita Impact. My nephew said get one you have lots of Makita tools that haven't let you down. Years go by Makita can only get better. When I finally got it man I was so surprised. i mean just solid & nothing but brute strength. I broke it in on a 99 Chevy Tahoe removed all the wheels & reinstalled them on one Battery. Just to be safe I took my Torque Wrench making sure they were tight enough. I set my Torque Wrench to 150# out 24 lug nuts i only had to retighten one or two & to this moment think it was my fault. I have only used it twice so far but it has paid it's self off twice over. Can't say its as good as an air Wrench but close enough from my point of view. Its under priced as good as it works. worth every dollar invested in it. I highly recommend it. I am sure with new batteries the torque will be amazing. It beats doing a brake bleeding job by hand. Saves you time & effort

This impact wrench is amazing. It's powerful, has a great grip, and durable. It's heavy, but it has a lot of power. It's super smooth when it starts and easy to manage the speed. It's not cheap, but it's well worth the money. Battery life depends on the size battery you use. But my 3 amp batteries last plenty long. It won't fit in a tight place, but for most job where you need a lot of torque this is the bomb. I wish I bought this a long time ago. You won't regret it.

Heavy as the tool is, which is fine for me as construction professional, I was very pleased with the unit's power and the fact that I could use a standard Makita 18v battery to be able to easily undo the the bolts on a trailer tire and then retighten them without cords and in the field. There may or may not be better tools out there for this type of task but if you, like I, have a full set of Makita cordless tools to begin with, I believe this tool should be quite adequate for most impact wrench jobs. Highly recommend and pleasantly surprised.

I'm happy with this impact driver. Plenty of power. Gets the job done!

I bought this as a set over four years ago during Black Friday 2019 and this is the first time ever (Oct 2025) I put her into action, and as expected she does NOT disappoint one bit. As powerful as the air tools that my mechanics use in their shop which they hammered some bolts stuck shut on the brake calipers of my car. Nothing I use would budge, not even a bit until I take this heavy monster out of its box and Bam! Bam! Bolts came loose in n an instant like there's no tomorrow!!! Without this tool I would have not been able to tackle the work and might just end up back at my shop and forking up more $$$$$! Note: since this is an ‘impact gun’ you can probably get away with using some good quality sockets from a mechanics toolbox set such as my Dewalt, but instead I opted to buy some Impact Drivers (DEWALT DWMT74737 Tough Box 7PC mm 1/2 Deep Drive Impact Socket Set) and it grips perfectly and does the job as intended . I can now work on all my cars at ease with this tool as needed. Never can imagine such a powerful tool can operate with just a battery compared to what the pros use with compressed air. Worth every dollar spent!

This thing is a beast , couldn’t find anything that this would not loosen or tighten

I picked up this Makita impact wrench for my brother to keep in his truck, since i’m always the one crawling around on the garage floor after night shifts trying to break loose lug nuts. The power is great. It ripped off a rusted lug on my old Civic that my regular wrench just laughed at 😅. The downside is the weight and bulk. After a 12‑hour shift my wrists are already tired, and this thing feels like a brick if you’re holding it up for long. For quick tire work it’s nice, but i wouldn’t want to use it overhead or for long jobs.

Bought Makita XWT08Z impact wrench to do one thing...remove a honda harmonic balancer crankshaft bolt at 181 ft-lbs known to be extremely difficult to break lose. I'm a weekend DYI hobbyist but I could not believe it took only 2 short bursts to loosen this bolt after all I read online about how difficult it was to remove. It was so easy with this tool and highly recommend it for this type of work for those looking at a tool for that purpose. I only used the Lisle 19mm socket made for crank bolt removal with this impact wrench and prepped crank bolt with PB blaster couple days beforehand..did not use any crank immobilizer tool for removal..amazing power! Tried on lug nuts at the highest setting to loosen and tighten but be careful when tightening because I did tighten a lug to 85 ft-lbs with 1-sec short burst that I discovered after using a torque wrench to do the final tightening and suggest a lower setting. Tool is on the heavier side but evidences the metal build quality with strategically placed rubber the around the head for good grip and high impact plastic handle, like all Makita impact tools. Also has a brake to stop rotation when you release the trigger, which is something I wish corded impact wrenches would provide. I also own a 18V Makita impact driver set and did try the 3.0 Ah battery on it, that does work but only at the lowest setting. I did not actually try to hammer anything with that battery just fitment and to know battery would work. Deferred to use the new 5.0 Ah battery for any work at the highest setting uses. I have to admit my 3.0 Ah batteries are the older (no star) type... guessing that it may have slightly different chip on it that limits the power setting on the wrench. Overall extremely impressed and happy with this tool and will find many uses for it.

Entrega antes de lo programada El producto llego en perfectas condiciones apesar de no estar bien espaquetada

Terrific tool!

I'm using this mostly for assembling pallets made from pressure treated 2x6 and 4x4. Driving 3/8"x4" bolts through the wood takes about 2 seconds, whereas my old pneumatic with similar torque ratings was more like fifteen. No more waiting for air pressure to build up after a few bolts, and much faster. Pros; High torque Fast Quick recharge Cordless Easy forward/reverse switching Variable speed (smooth) Cons:Heavy Power setting located in awkward spot

muy buena ya le he dado uso y aguanta muy bien

did get a refund. Sorry for the misunderstanding
