Makita (XWT17T) 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 4-Speed Mid-Torque 1/2" Sq. Drive Impact Wrench Kit w/ friction ring anvil - XWT17T
The 18V LXT Brushless Cordless 4-Speed Mid-Torque 1/2" Sq. Drive Impact Wrench Kit with Friction Ring Anvil (XWT17T) provides improved fastening control, ideal for automotive, installation, and fabrication trades. The impact wrench combines extended run time and speed control for unmatched fastening performance. The XWT17T is powered by a BL Brushless Motor for longer run time. The brushless motor delivers 520 ft.lbs. of Fastening Torque and 740 ft.lbs. of Nut-Busting Torque. The electronically-controlled brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application. Precise fastening control is achieved through the 4-speed power selection switch, which accounts for a wide range of applications. Additional precision features include three forward and three reverse rotation auto-stop modes, and a full-speed mode function that reduces the trigger pull to reach full speed. Makita's proprietary hammer and anvil impact mechanism are manufactured using the best raw materials with the highest quality steel and unique heat hardening process for maximum fastening and driving power. The XWT17T features Makita's Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), a protective seal inside the tool. It is designed to improve a tool’s operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components.
