Makita XWT12ZB 3/8 in Drive 18V Brushless Impact Wrench

Product Description

The MAKITA XWT12ZB is a brushless, cordless impact wrench built for trade professionals who need compact power in tight spaces. It runs on the 18-volt LXT lithium-ion platform and delivers up to 130 foot-pounds of fastening torque through a 3/8 inch square drive. The brushless motor extends tool life by reducing wear on internal components and improves runtime efficiency compared to brushed designs. At 5.63 inches in overall length, it fits into confined work areas where larger impact wrenches cannot. This is a tool-only unit — no battery or charger is included.

The XWT12ZB is suited for mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work where fastening and loosening 3/8 inch drive fasteners is routine. The pistol grip handle provides a familiar, controlled hold during overhead or horizontal use. Two selectable speed settings allow the operator to match output to the fastener and application, reducing the risk of overtorque on smaller hardware. It is a strong fit for service technicians who already carry the LXT battery platform.

Installation Notes

A licensed or qualified technician should verify that the selected battery pack is fully charged and properly seated before use.

Follow applicable torque specifications for the fastener and application — this tool does not provide automatic torque shutoff. Use only impact-rated sockets with this wrench; standard chrome sockets are not rated for impact use.
