The Makita XWT08Z is a bare-tool 18V LXT impact wrench with a 1/2-inch square drive and a brushless motor. It delivers 740 ft-lbs of fastening torque and 1,180 ft-lbs of break-away torque, enough for lug nuts, suspension bolts and rusted fasteners. It suits owners already on Makita's 18V LXT battery platform who want corded-class power without a cord. Against high-torque rivals from Milwaukee and DeWalt it holds its own on torque, but it is heavy and needs batteries and a charger bought separately.

Owners rate the XWT08Z highly for raw power, saying it removes lug nuts and rusted bolts that mid-torque wrenches stall on. Common complaints are its weight and the need for big batteries to get full output.
The Makita XWT08Z is an 18V LXT brushless cordless impact wrench with a 1/2 in. square drive. It is built for heavy-duty fastening and break-away work, and delivers 740 ft-lbs of fastening torque and 1,180 ft-lbs of break-away torque.
A 3-speed power selection switch sets the no-load speed to 0-900, 0-1,000 or 0-1,800 RPM. Impact rates are 0-1,800, 0-2,000 and 0-2,200 impacts per minute. The electronically controlled brushless motor runs cooler, has no carbon brushes, and is designed to optimize energy use for up to 50% longer runtime per charge.
The 1/2 in. anvil has a friction ring for socket changes. The tool has a rubberized soft grip, a forward and reverse switch, an electric brake and a built-in tool hook. Dual LED lights have pre-glow and after-glow. A flexible joint isolates the battery from the grip to help reduce wear on the battery contacts.
