Makita created a new class in cordless with 18 V LXT? sub-compact tools. Makita sub-compact gives users 12 V handling with 18 V run time and compatibility with the world's largest 18 V lithium-ion cordless tool system. The 18 V LXT? sub-compact brushless 3/8 in square drive impact wrench is ideal for working in tight spaces and for overhead applications. The XWT12ZB has an efficient Makita BL? brushless motor engineered for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. It has variable two-speed with 0 to 1300 and 0 to 2400 rpm and 0 to 2000 and 0 to 3600 ipm and up to 130 ft-lb of max torque. The compact size and lower weight mean reduced fatigue for operators, especially for overhead applications. For added convenience, the reverse rotation auto-stop mode stops rotation and impact when the fastener is loosened adequately. Users also get a variable-speed trigger, built-in LED lights and a convenient 3/8 in square drive for quick socket changes.
