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.

Makita XWT08Z 18V LXT vs Milwaukee 2767-20 M18 FUEL

The Milwaukee 2767-20 is the stronger tool on paper: 1,000 ft-lb fastening torque and 1,400 ft-lb nut-busting torque beat the Makita XWT08Z's 740 and 1,180 ft-lb, and it weighs 5.9 lb against about 8 lb. The Makita is the safer buy if you already own Makita 18V LXT batteries, since both are tool-only. On price, the Milwaukee's best new listing is $66.77 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, against $259.99 at eBay for the Makita, but a $66.77 price for this wrench is far below its normal range, so confirm the seller and that it is genuinely new before ordering.
