Makita XWT17Z Impact Wrench, Tool Only, 18 V, 1/2 in Drive, Square Drive, 0 to 2700 ipm, 0 to 2200 rpm Speed

The 18 V LXT® brushless cordless four-speed mid-torque 1/2 in square drive impact wrench with friction ring anvil, provides improved fastening control, ideal for automotive, installation and fabrication trades. The impact wrench combines extended runtime and speed control for unmatched fastening performance. The XWT17Z is powered by a BL™ brushless motor for longer runtime. The brushless motor delivers 520 ft/lb of fastening torque and 740 ft/lb of nut-busting torque. The electronically-controlled brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and rpm to the changing demands of the application. Precise fastening control is achieved through the four-speed power selection switch, which accounts for a wide range of applications. Additional precision features include three forward and three reverse rotation auto-stop modes and a full-speed mode function that reduces the trigger pull to reach full speed. Makita's proprietary hammer and anvil impact mechanism are manufactured using the best raw materials with the highest quality steel and unique heat hardening process for maximum fastening and driving power. The XWT17Z features Makita's Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), a protective seal inside the tool. It is designed to improve a tool's operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components. It is part of Makita's 18 V LXT system. The LXT cordless system, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18 V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries, takes a user from power tools to outdoor power equipment to get the job done. Makita 18 V LXT batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™.
