Makita Usa Inc XWT08Z 18V Brushless Impact Wrench 1/2 in

Product Description

The MAKITA USA INC XWT08Z is an 18V LXT lithium-ion brushless cordless impact wrench built for high-torque fastening applications in trade and industrial environments. The brushless motor delivers 740 ft/lb of max torque and 1,180 ft/lb of nut-busting torque, making it suited for heavy fastening and removal tasks. Three speed settings span 0-900, 0-1,000, and 0-1,800 RPM with corresponding impact rates of 0-1,800, 0-2,000, and 0-2,200 IPM for precise fastening control. The tool is 9 inches long and weighs 7.9 pounds with battery, which is not included. Licensed electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical trades use this wrench for fastener-intensive service work.

The XWT08Z is designed for residential and commercial service applications where high-torque cordless performance is required. It fits into tight spaces due to its compact 9-inch length and ergonomic grip, reducing operator fatigue during extended use. The 1/2 inch square drive with friction ring anvil allows fast socket changes without additional tools. This tool-only unit integrates with the Makita 18V LXT battery platform, requiring a separately purchased battery and charger. Typical applications include mechanical assembly, equipment servicing, flange bolting, and structural fastening across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades.

Installation Notes

This tool is intended for use by qualified trade professionals familiar with torque fastening requirements for their specific application. Always confirm the correct torque specification for the fastener or fitting being serviced before use. Disconnect power sources or shut off relevant systems before using an impact wrench on live mechanical assemblies. Use appropriately rated impact-rated sockets only — standard chrome sockets are not rated for impact tool use.
