Makita DTW1002Z 18V Li-Ion LXT Brushless Impact Wrench - Batteries and Charger Not Included

I purchased the DTW190Z before this but it wouldn’t take the wheel nuts off my car but for £58 I had to try it. It’s a very worthwhile one for lighter use if you don’t wish to spend to much money. When I received this one I put it on the lowest setting and it took my wheel nuts off with ease. Ide never put them on on the highest setting as I’m sure this animal would rip them apart. This mammoth monster weighs over 3.6 kilograms with a battery on so is extremely heavy but it’s quality at it’s very best. I like the way you can turn the lights off on this as I’ve always found that to be just a waste of battery power. This monster is bigger and heavier than the snap on I used to have and I strongly suspect more powerful. Makita have really gone to town on this. Tbh I probably didn’t need one this powerful or expensive but on reading the reviews on it thought ide just buy it. So if your looking for a monster that’s not going to tell you it carnt get that nut off this is the kiddie for you.

Well let’s talk power, this thing is an absolute beast, it has zero issues getting off bolts too tight for hand tools, wheel nuts murder tight and that have sat for years, and I’m sure I’ll come across many other things this excels at throughout its use. It’s a heavy bit of kit, but with that comes the understanding that is not a flimsy tool, it’s not built cheap, or that it won’t be able to do the job, this 1/2” impact means business, 10/10 so far, I should have gotten this years ago, I would have saved hours on some jobs

I should have got this year's ago. Fantastic piece of kit. Honda crank pulley bolt, axle nuts and crusty subframe bolts came out with ease. Barely took it out of the lowest power setting either. Very impressed

Having bought a number of so called high torque guns and having them under perform the stated figures I opted to spend more and also utilise my existing battery drill batteries. This impact is exceptional well built, and extremely powerful. It will destroy normal sockets be warned. I paid for a Makita impact set and glad I did.It is a heavy brute and you know you are hefting it if holding it under a car out stretched. It has not failed yet to shift a bolt or nut. I used it to spin off a 36mm nut off if a L200 drive shaft that had been on for 178000 miles, whilsted off much to out surprise!Wheel nuts are so easy, I suspect if you wanted too it would easily strip the treads if you kept on....It is expensive but buy cheap! and buy twice! (or three times in my case). Should of bought this first time.

Having read the reviews of this wrench, no other make/model would do!This tool is incredible, and if you are making the decision to move from air to electric you will not regret this purchase.For such a powerful wrench, it is useful to have the three impact levels; I used to lower ones to angle tighten wheel bearing bolts and a hub bolt; it would have been nearly impossible with a breaker bar owing to the restricted access.As for undoing rusty nuts and bolts... it does not even struggle even on the worst a old salt-sprayed suspension assembly can throw at it. Controversionally, I would argue that the hammer action on this wrench will safely undo completely seized nuts and bolts that would be sheared off by a breaker bar!In the hand, this tool feels so robust and solid; when you squeeze the trigger for the first time you genuinely fall in love with it.The 5Ah batteries last days without charging, so forget any consideration for buying a compressor and an air wrench because this thing will make them I obsolete.

very good value powerful unit not light in the weight department but dose the job very well !

Immense power. Hasn’t failed on a single rusted bolt on a car break up yet.Great built quality, Makita a reliability, used all the batteries I use on other Makita products.If you want something small and nimble forget it. This is intended as a heavy weight and does what it says on the tin!Dislikes. Circlip on end of 1/2 shaft makes attaching a socket a bit of a drama. Certainly more than it should be. Battery area is shock absorbed on this model. Mine seems overly loose- but time will tell!Am I happy? Oh yeah. Hammer action on strip downs saves so much time. No need to anchor wheel bolts or nylocks with this baby. Hammer action just does the job for you. Wonder why I never bought one years ago!

What can I say apart from WOW.Absolutely perfect in every way.This is a great tool that has saved me a lot of work in its first use.Brilliant.
