The Bl Brushless motor can make 155 ft.Lbs. of torque at its peak.
This tool has a variable 2-speed (0-1, 300/0-2, 400 RPM and (0-1, 000/0-3, 600 IPM) to control the speed of the screws in a wide range of applications.
When the fastener is loose enough, the reverse rotation auto-stop mode stops the rotation and the impact.
Ultra-compact and easy to use at only 5-15/16 inches wide..
Because it only weighs 2.7 lbs. with a battery (the battery is not included), it will make the operator less tired.
Makita came up with a new type of cordless tool called 18V LXT® sub-compact tools, which are very small. People who buy the Makita sub-compact get 12V handling with 18V run time and can use it with the world’s largest 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tool system, which is made by Makita. For working in tight places and on the top of things, the 18V LXT® sub-compact Brushless 1/2″ square drive impact wrench is the best thing for you to use. Up to 50 percent longer run time, more power and speed, and longer tool life are all possible with the Makita Brushless motor BLTM found in the XWT13ZB tool. 0-1, 300/0-2, 400 RPM and 0-2, 000/0-3, 600 IPM are available. It has up to 130 ft.Lbs. of max torque and can go from 0-1, 000/0-3, 600 IPM in two steps. Operators who work with overhead equipment will be less tired because of the small size and lighter weight. For even more convenience, the reverse rotation auto-stop mode stops moving and causing damage when the fastener is loose enough. Users also get a variable speed trigger, built-in L.E.D. lights, and a handy 1/2″ square drive for quickly changing sockets, among other things. It has Makita’s extreme protection technology (XPTTM. XPTTM is a seal inside the tool that protects it from water and dust. It is designed to make the tool run better in bad weather by directing water and dust away from important parts. If you have an 18V LXT® battery from Makita, you can use it with even more Makita tools. It’s part of the world’s largest cordless tool system that runs on 18V lithium-ion batteries. In their class, Makita 18V LXT® batteries have the fastest charge times. This means they spend more time working and less time on the charger. For better tool performance and longer battery life, Makita came up with Star protection Computer controlsTM. Star protection is a type of communication technology that allows a Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and keep an eye on things while they’re being used to make sure they don’t get too hot, get too full, or get too low. For more versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and small Lithium-Ion batteries that have the Star symbol on them. These batteries have Star protection inside.
Take this tool with you when you work on your ATV to make it easier and faster to work on it. There are a lot of lugnuts to deal with when changing out the wheels and tires, so I mostly use this to do that. I also use it to do other things on the ATV because it’s so small. I used it to put on my front and rear bumpers and brush guards. I’ll use it again soon to put on my Warn VRX 25 winch, and the small size will make it easy to get back in there between the frame and the wheel/tire to put it in.
Using an air-powered impact wrench to tighten the lug nuts was not a problem for this wrench. It can break them free with ease. Spins them off without a hitch. I usually use it on the fastest setting because I don’t need to tighten things that are shorter or more delicate. When I wanted to be more precise, I turned it down a little bit. I was able to tighten all of the lugs on my ATV’s aftermarket wheels evenly because they are lug centric and not hub centric like the factory wheels, so I had to be careful while tightening them on.
Also, this has a setting that tells when the fastener is free, and it stops the wrench when it does. When you’re working with nuts on a short stud, or smaller fasteners and things like that, this might be very useful. I haven’t used it at all. I want all of the nuts or screws I’ve been taking off to fall right into my hand. Still, having the feature doesn’t bother me. You don’t have to use it if you don’t want to, and it’s nice to have in case you need it. I’m sure that one day soon, it will come in very handy and stop me from sending a nut flying across the garage floor.
There’s a lot of battery life, which is good. You can’t charge one of your 4.0 Ah LXT batteries because they’re half dead. I put one of them in and haven’t had to do that yet. Still a lot of power. Mind you, I don’t use this thing every day. I use it once a week or so, for a long time, and it’s been a few months. The thing doesn’t use up a lot of electricity. A lot of people think it’s safe.
This is a good idea. As long as you don’t need a lot of torque in order to get huge nuts off of heavy construction equipment that’s been stuck there for a long time, you’ll be fine with this. It would be easy to do things like work on an ATV, remove or install the wheels on a car or truck, and so on. They have enough power to do the jobs. The only time I think you’ll want more torque is if you have a huge, rusted 1 car “It’s a nut or bolt that’s been stuck for a long time. It’s been outside in the weather and through the seasons. If you need help with anything else, this Makita will be there for you. There are a lot of things that help you get it to where you need to use it, like not having it be a huge, honking monster.
