Makita 40V MAX XGT Brushless Cordless 4-Speed 1/2 In. Sq. Drive Impact Wrench Kit w/ Detent Anvil (2.5Ah) - GWT05D

The Makita XGT brushless cordless impact wrench kit with a 1/2 Inch square drive is designed to use for automotive, installation and fabrication industries for getting enhanced fastening control. This impact wrench is powered by a Makita-built brushless motor that delivers 465 ft-lb of nut-busting torque and 260 ft-lb of fastening torque that aids in heavy-duty applications. Four operating speeds can be selected with the help of a power selection switch that facilitates in a wide range of applications. Three forward and three reverse rotation auto-stop modes are provided increases the tool efficiency when the fastener loosens the grip. Full speed mode mechanism minimizes the trigger pull to gain optimum operating speed. Extreme protection technology prevents the accumulation of water and dust on the tool even in harsh conditions. Reinforced construction of the gear endures wear and tear in jobsites. The XGT technology makes use of 40 Volt Lithium batteries to produce optimum power in high demand applications. Wrench comes with a detent anvil.
