Makita XWT17Z 18V LXT® Brushless Cordless Impact Wrench with Friction Ring Anvil

The XWT17Z 18V LXT Brushless Cordless 4-Speed Mid-Torque 1/2" Sq. Drive Impact Wrench with Friction Ring Anvil provides improved fastening control, making it ideal for automotive, installation, and fabrication trades. This impact wrench combines extended run time and speed control for unmatched fastening performance. It is powered by a BL Brushless Motor for longer run time and delivers 520 ft.lbs. of Fastening Torque and 740 ft.lbs. of Nut-Busting Torque. The electronically-controlled brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application.

Precise fastening control is achieved through the 4-speed power selection switch, which accounts for a wide range of applications. Additional precision features include three forward and three reverse rotation auto-stop modes, and a full-speed mode function that reduces the trigger pull to reach full speed. Makita's proprietary hammer and anvil impact mechanism are manufactured using the best raw materials with the highest quality steel and unique heat hardening process for maximum fastening and driving power.

The XWT17Z also features Makita's Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), a protective seal inside the tool designed to improve its operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components. It is part of Makita’s 18V LXT System, which is the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. The LXT Cordless System takes a user from power tools to outdoor power equipment to get the job done. Makita 18V LXT Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, allowing them to spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. To improve tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. This communication technology allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.

The compact and ergonomic design of the XWT17Z at only 6-11/16" long provides increased versatility. The 4-speed power selection switch (0-500 / 0-1,200 / 0-1,900 / 0-2,200 rpm & 0-1,000 / 0-1,700 / 0-2,400 / 0-2,700 ipm) allows for precise fastening control in a wide range of applications. The XWT17Z also includes 3 forward and 3 reverse auto-stop modes for increased efficiency, as well as a full speed mode function that reduces trigger pull to reach full speed. The tool is sold as Tool Only, with battery and charger not included.
