DTW1002Z 18V Li-Ion LXT Brushless Impact Wrench - Batteries and Charger Not Included

I purchased the DTW190Z before this but it wouldn’t take the wheel nuts off my car but for £58 I had to try it. It’s a very worthwhile one for lighter use if you don’t wish to spend to much money. When I received this one I put it on the lowest setting and it took my wheel nuts off with ease. Ide never put them on on the highest setting as I’m sure this animal would rip them apart. This mammoth monster weighs over 3.6 kilograms with a battery on so is extremely heavy but it’s quality at it’s very best. I like the way you can turn the lights off on this as I’ve always found that to be just a waste of battery power. This monster is bigger and heavier than the snap on I used to have and I strongly suspect more powerful. Makita have really gone to town on this. Tbh I probably didn’t need one this powerful or expensive but on reading the reviews on it thought ide just buy it. So if your looking for a monster that’s not going to tell you it carnt get that nut off this is the kiddie for you.

Fantastic tool

Having bought a number of so called high torque guns and having them under perform the stated figures I opted to spend more and also utilise my existing battery drill batteries. This impact is exceptional well built, and extremely powerful. It will destroy normal sockets be warned. I paid for a Makita impact set and glad I did. It is a heavy brute and you know you are hefting it if holding it under a car out stretched. It has not failed yet to shift a bolt or nut. I used it to spin off a 36mm nut off if a L200 drive shaft that had been on for 178000 miles, whilsted off much to out surprise! Wheel nuts are so easy, I suspect if you wanted too it would easily strip the treads if you kept on.... It is expensive but buy cheap! and buy twice! (or three times in my case). Should of bought this first time.

Super powerful undone a nut no other system did with ease

I purchased the Makita DTW1002Z in April 2019 in order to change the front brake discs and calipers on a Land Rover Defender. I already have a Makita impact driver, which I use with a Milwaukee 1/4" hex to 1/2" square adapter, and although I am extremely happy with this setup, it didn't have the ability to undo the nuts and bolts involved in this job. The DTW1002 worked extremely well, making the task of removing the 52mm hub nuts and all the other bolts *very* quick and easy. Since then I have used it for a variety of tasks, including removing the suspension U-bolts on an Ifor Williams trailer, driving Thunderbolt concrete screws, and removing M24 nuts on field gates, and it has performed faultlessly. So far I have not even had to use it on the medium or high setting - low has worked just fine! As I already have a variety of Makita 18V LXT power tools, I just bought the naked wrench, and use the batteries from my drill, chainsaw etc to power it. If I had to think of minuses, then the wrench's size must be the first thing to mention. It's a big and heavy tool, and needs a fair bit of room in which to work. It can also be difficult to attach sockets onto the anvil, which is of the hog ring variety. Visually aligning the square recess of the socket to the anvil is much better than trying to attach the socket by feel. Removing the socket can take a bit of effort too, but since it's still quite a new tool, and I'm using some new impact sockets, things may well get easier in time. In summary, I am very happy to fully recommend this impact wrench - it saves a lot of effort and time, and can make a previously daunting job into a pleasurable one!

Struggled on some difficult bolts. Very power hungry as expected. Overall good quality and very surprising. The auto cut off is very helpful. The pulse helps even the most stuck bolts

Having got the bug for electric nut busters after buying a DTW285, I was hankering after something a bit bigger for all the M20, M24 and up fixings that the little gun wasn’t really up to. Enter the 1002, at the time of writing this is the largest 1/2”, 18v impact wrench that Makita make. Make no mistake, this is a different animal to the 285. It is BIG. It is HEAVY. The weight of the hammers and anvils is apparent on squeezing the trigger, there is a strong counter-torque as the motor accelerates. While this is fun enough, its real talent lies in ripping open old, rusty bolted joints. I’ve used very decent wrenches from Milwaukee and DeWalt; they’re good, certainly, very worthwhile tools in their own right, but the 1002 will absolutely eat them. If you want an uncompromisingly powerful, properly heavy duty impact wrench, this is it. Accept no substitutes.

Awesome piece of kit, I had seized wheel nuts and it pulled them off with ease, I couldn’t even budge them with a long bar and a hammer

Ideaal voor banden wissel.

Calidad como de esperar. Mucha potencia , algp pesada pero normal

Strong heavy and does it job, from wheel nuts to big coach screws this beast pounds everything on the lowest setting. Had a flat tyre and had to wait 3 hours because I didn’t have this rattle gun or a wheel brace to change it. Never again! It’s my number one favourite tool.

Works very good,strong.

zeer mooie en stevige
