- Which has more torque, the Makita XWT08Z or the Milwaukee 2767-20?
- The Milwaukee 2767-20 wins with 1,000 ft-lb fastening torque and 1,400 ft-lb nut-busting torque, against 740 and 1,180 ft-lb for the Makita XWT08Z.
- Which is better for lug nuts and suspension work?
- Both handle lug nuts easily. The Milwaukee's extra breakaway torque and lighter 5.9 lb body make it the better pick for stubborn, rusted fasteners and overhead work.
- Is the Milwaukee worth the extra over the Makita?
- At the listed prices it is not extra: $66.77 at eBay versus $259.99 for the Makita as of November 4, 2026. That gap is large enough that you should confirm the Milwaukee listing is new and from a reputable seller before buying.
- Do either include a battery?
- No. Both are tool-only, so you need Makita 18V LXT batteries for the XWT08Z or Milwaukee M18 batteries for the 2767-20, plus a charger.
- Which is lighter to use all day?
- The Milwaukee 2767-20 at 5.9 lb is lighter than the Makita XWT08Z at about 8 lb with battery, which reduces fatigue during long jobs.
- Which has better speed control?
- The Milwaukee has four modes including a bolt removal mode; the Makita has a three-speed electronic switch. The Milwaukee offers more control for mixed fastening and removal work.
