- Is this impact wrench powerful enough for lug nuts?
- Yes for most passenger cars and light trucks. Owners report removing typical lug nuts without trouble; the very tightest fasteners may need a higher-torque model.
- Does the kit include batteries and a charger?
- The kit version includes Makita 18V LXT batteries and a charger. Check the listing for how many batteries are included, since kit contents vary.
- What sockets does it use?
- It has a 1/2-inch square drive, so it takes standard 1/2-inch impact sockets. Use impact-rated sockets, not chrome hand sockets.
- How does it compare with Makita's compact 1/2-inch wrench?
- This high-torque model is bigger and heavier but delivers more fastening torque. The compact version is easier to handle in tight spaces but weaker on stubborn bolts.
- Can it be used for light assembly work?
- Yes, using the lower speed and torque settings. On small fasteners, be careful not to over-tighten.
- Where is the Makita Cordless High-Torque 1/2" Impact Wrench Kit cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $629.00, as of our latest check.
