Overview
Makita's XWT08Z is an 18 volt impact wrench weighing about 7 pounds. The Z at the end of the model number is Makita's standard code for a bare tool sold without a battery or charger.
Makita's 18 volt line covers a wide range of tools sold as bare units for buyers who already own batteries and chargers from other tools on the same platform, and the XWT08Z fits that pattern. Weight matters more on an impact wrench than most tools since it is often used one-handed or overhead.
- 18 volt power
- About 7 pounds
- Bare tool, no battery included
- 4.8 average rating
Who it's for
