Overview
Not a high-torque breaker for frozen truck lug nuts, this Makita is a compact mid-torque impact wrench built for control, with four speeds and auto-stop modes. A brushless motor drives a detent anvil on a half-inch drive.
Four speed settings and auto-stop modes make it easy to run fasteners without overdriving or launching nuts. The torque figures suit car lug nuts and general fabrication rather than heavy equipment.
Who it's for
Mechanics, installers and fabricators who want a short tool for tight engine bays and racks. Farm and heavy equipment users dealing with rusted large fasteners should look at a high-torque wrench.
Pros and cons
- Short length for tight spaces
- Four speed settings
- Auto-stop modes in both directions
- Full speed mode eases trigger pull
- Battery and charger not included
- Mid-range breakaway torque
- Detent anvil slows socket swaps
Performance notes
Control comes from matching the speed setting to the fastener and from the auto-stop modes that cut power once a nut loosens. Star Protection lets the tool and battery share data to prevent overload and overheating, and the XPT seal channels water and dust away from internals.
