Is 325 ft-lbs enough for lug nuts?

Yes for most passenger cars and light trucks, whose lug nuts are typically tightened to 80–150 ft-lbs. Very stubborn or rusted fasteners on heavy equipment may still need a breaker bar or a higher-torque tool.

What comes in the box?

The kit includes the wrench, one 18V LXT 3.0 Ah Lithium-Ion battery, a charger and a tool bag.

Does it have multiple speed settings?

No. It has one speed setting with variable-speed trigger control, 1,600 RPM and 2,200 IPM.

Will my other Makita 18V batteries work in it?

Yes. It uses Makita's 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries, so packs from other LXT tools fit, and the included 3.0 Ah pack works in those tools too.

What kind of sockets does it take?

It has a ½-inch square pin-detent drive, so use standard ½-inch impact sockets. Pin-detent anvils hold the socket with a pin rather than a friction ring.

No. It uses a Makita-built brushed motor, which is simpler and less efficient than Makita's brushless models.
