Makita DTW181Z 18V LXT Brushless Impact Wrench

The Makita 18V LXT Brushless Impact Wrench is a cordless impact wrench for tightening and loosening bolts and other threaded fasteners. It runs on Makita's 18V LXT lithium-ion battery platform, which makes battery compatibility an important consideration. Maximum torque reaches 210 N·m for harder fastening applications; for softer applications, the rated maximum is 65 N·m. A 1/2-inch square drive accepts matching impact sockets rather than standard drill bits.

Its listed weight is 1.5 kg, which matters for repeated fastening or overhead work. The pistol-shaped handle has a soft grip. Two gear settings offer a choice of output ranges for different fasteners, and adjustable speed gives further control during tightening and removal. A built-in LED lights up the immediate working area. No battery or charger is supplied, so both must be bought separately or taken from an existing compatible Makita setup. A carrying case is not included either.

• Maximum no-load speed of 3,600 RPM for rapid socket rotation.
• Impact rate of up to 3,600 IPM on the highest setting.
• Reverse rotation supports fastener removal.
• Automatic stop function helps prevent over-loosening when removing bolts.
• Overload protection helps safeguard the impact wrench during demanding use.
• Makita XPT technology provides increased protection against dust and water.
• Belt hook included for on-person storage between tasks.
