Makita Usa Inc XWT08T 1/2 Inch Impact Wrench Kit 18V

Product Description

The MAKITA USA INC XWT08T is an 18V LXT brushless cordless high torque impact wrench kit built around a 1/2 inch friction ring anvil. The brushless motor delivers 740 ft-lb of max torque and 1,180 ft-lb of nut-busting torque, making it well suited for heavy fastening tasks on structural, mechanical, and equipment work. Three selectable speed settings span 0 to 1,800 RPM and 0 to 2,200 IPM, giving the installer precise control across a range of fastener sizes. Electronic torque management extends battery run time by up to 50 percent per charge. Licensed HVAC techs, plumbers, electricians, and millwrights reach for this tool when production-grade fastening speed and cordless convenience are both required.

This kit is appropriate for residential and commercial trade applications where bolt removal, equipment mounting, and structural fastening demand sustained high torque output without a cord. The compact body measures 9 inches in length, fitting into tight equipment rooms and mechanical chases. The friction ring anvil allows fast one-handed socket swaps, reducing downtime during high-volume service calls. The kit ships with two 18V LXT 5.0Ah lithium-ion batteries, an 18V LXT rapid optimum charger, and a tool bag, making it a ready-to-deploy package for field crews.

Installation Notes

This tool is serviced and operated by licensed trade professionals familiar with impact wrench safety protocols. Before performing fastening work on pressurized systems, electrical enclosures, or structural connections, follow applicable lockout/tagout procedures per OSHA and relevant trade codes. Use only impact-rated sockets rated for the torque output of this tool. Do not use standard chrome sockets, as they can fracture under high-impact loads.
