The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless 3-Speed 1/2 in. Impact Wrench (XWT11Z, tool only) combines extended run time and speed control for unmatched fastening performance. The XWT11Z is powered by a Makita brushless motor for longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. 3-speeds with reverse rotation auto-stop mode stops rotation in 2-seconds when fastener is adequately loosened, making the XWT11Z ideal for automotive, installation and fabrication trades. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion 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. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18-Volt LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

Excellent tool. Great quality and exactly what you would expect from Mikita. It’s lightweight but very powerful.

Works great takes off camper tires

makita is best big box brand you can get. Great tool won’t disappoint

Works good with all 4 speeds and the battery last a long time used it all day and it still had a little life at the end of day.

This impact is more than capable of removing lug nuts and other suspension components including rusted axle ubolts on a 1-ton diesel truck. The different torque settings also seem pretty accurate as I was able to verify by only needing a little turn of the torque wrench to finish bolts.

The quality of this tool, is exactly what you’d expect from Makita. However if you plan on using it for High torque, machine threaded bolts, like on a truck, the larger model would probably be more to your liking.

This has a verry handy case. Nice to see Makita can still make a hard case for there tools. No makita bag

Works perfectly with my Makita impact driver. Power and strength to remove rusted on lugnuts.

Very nice tool

Great

Have used and appreciated Mikita tools for many years. This is a fine impact for its size and the only thing I’ve noticed is the reverse switch is a bit low in the hand and easily bumped. Would recommend to a friend.
Erich Streich (verified owner) –
Just what I needed.
Deanna Willms (verified owner) –
Used on front and rear suspension parts and it worked flawlessly. Had some stubborn lug nuts to start the job but this impact got it done. I think if you were a heavy user I’d go for the next model up but plenty of power for the occasional yard mechanic.
Bret Beatty (verified owner) –
Super powerful, batteries last a long time. I would recommend this tool for sure.
Alejandrin Blick (verified owner) –
I haven’t used it to remove auto lug nuts yet, but it took the lug bolts right off my boat trailer without any trouble. I’m really looking forward to using it at the race track.
Robyn Wiza (verified owner) –
Excellent

I use it for lug nuts and brake calipers. Works great

Like most Makita tools it’s well made with good ergonomics. I had been wanting to add an impact to my cordless collection. Although I have a pneumatic impact, the cordless version of everything really is so much handier than a corded anything. I bought this one as the larger one is really too much for my needs 99% of the time. Lugnuts, for instance, shouldn’t be over torqued and I always use a torque wrench on the reinstall because of today’s aluminum wheels. But this zips them right off even on larger 3/4 ton trucks as its 210lb rating gets it done. You may need 210 to back a rusted lugnut off but again not that much on an install. So far the only thing I’ve used it for is replacing the sway bar links on an older fullsize 4WD truck. So the parts were quite rusty. It zipped the nuts off and backed them off the last thread slowly with its sensor so it doesn’t spin the fastener across the shop floor once it’s loose. In fact, I knew the little wrench worked hard because it hit nearly the entire time and the nut was so hot I couldn’t touch it. The small size helped get into the space available.If you work on larger 1.5+ ton trucks or tractors/implements etc the larger impact might be needed, but for me this one was a better choice given my needs. The power,size,weight etc. are extremely useful. It has a battery indicator that is handy if you have the older batteries without the charge gauge. It also has 3 speeds I’m told it’s 59lbs, 129 ft lbs and 210. I have a Makita impact driver, but for something like lag bolts this would probably be better and is barely any larger. HD as always was a quick shipper. Happy adding this to my other Makita tools.
