Makita DTW180Z 18V LXT Brushless Impact Wrench - Cordless Tool (No Battery/Charger)

About This Product

If you're serious about tools, this Makita DTW180Z impact wrench is an absolute workhorse! As part of Makita's LXT cordless system, it runs on their 18V lithium-ion slide batteries (sold separately, which keeps the initial cost down if you already have Makita batteries). The brushless motor is the real star here - it's more efficient, runs cooler, and lasts longer than brushed motors. The power is impressive - 180Nm maximum tightening torque and 310Nm nut-busting torque means it can handle everything from automotive work to construction projects. It delivers up to 3,600 impacts per minute and 2,400 rpm, giving you both speed and power when you need it. The variable speed control by trigger lets you ease into fasteners or go full power when needed. There's a 2-stage impact power selection so you can match the power to the task. But the coolest feature has to be the Reverse Rotation Auto-Stop mode - when you're loosening bolts and nuts, the tool stops impacting and rotating within 0.2 seconds once the fastener is loose enough. This prevents overtightening damage and makes workflow smoother. It handles standard bolts from M8 to M16 and high-tensile bolts from M6 to M12, covering most common applications. The build quality is typical Makita - solid, well-balanced, and comfortable to use for extended periods. The warranty is great too - 1 year manufacturer warranty that extends to 3 years when you register within 30 days (just use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to keep the warranty valid). Whether you're a professional mechanic, contractor, or serious DIYer, this impact wrench delivers professional-grade performance without the cord. The ergonomics are well-designed with good grip and balance. It's one of those tools that once you use it, you'll wonder how you managed without it - the convenience of cordless combined with serious power makes tough jobs so much easier.
