About This Product

The 18V LXT Brushless Cordless 4-Speed Mid-Torque 1/2" Sq. Drive Impact Wrench with Friction Ring Anvil, Tool Only (XWT17Z) 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 XWT17Z 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 applicationPrecise 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 XWT17Z features Makita's Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), a protective seal inside the tool.

      Are you asking if it's possible to set a torque value on the impact wrench, then have it impact a nut/bolt to said torque value? To date, there are no impact wrenches that have this capability. Impact wrenches are not torque wrenches. There are different speed selections on the tool as someone has mentioned (4 speeds). Each of the speed selection will bracket some torque range, where increasing speeds will generally increase torque. What torque ranges can be achieved at each speed selection, you ask? I don't think anyone really knows without measuring it...

        Yes. That was one on the things I made sure it did. Within my research I found XWT17Z had the same specs as the XWT18Z. The only difference is the 18 has the detent anvil. But a very cool feature. I used it to tighten my lugs back on. Hope this helps!

          Nice Impact Wrench, a bit expensive, but it has excellent reviews by independent testers, so it should last many years with my relatively light use

          Got this to cover automotive tasks that my 1/4 impact driver can’t handle, used it for motor mounts for its first use. It absolutely blew through every bolt. The settings are a little confusing and I didn’t take the time to figure them out. It tighten bolt and untighten bolt. I was torn between the friction ring or the detent anvil, really glad I went with the friction ring. My only experience with friction rings was some beat SnapOn impacts that don’t retain sockets anymore but Makitas is the perfect balance between retaining whatever you have on the end and quickly swapping. Extremely happy with this tool.

          I haven’t found anything it can’t loosen or bolt down yet.

          Friction ring is a huge let down on this impact
          This impact wrench has a ton of power for it size but brand new out of the box the friction ring does not hold a socket on the tool. For what this cost its a huge let down. If this is important to you you may want to go with another brand.

            An excellent and long overdue purchase. I needed to replace the front bearings on a rusty New England (salt/snow/etc.) 2010 Honda Insight and this thing helped loads. It removed the axle nuts with the vehicle already up on jack stands, wheels and brakes off, even without unstaking. Even though it's not subcompact, I was still able to use it for other bolts in/around/behind the hub in the wheel well. Saved my knuckles, that's for sure. And now, no longer will changing two sets of wheels over every Fall and Spring be a hassle. This will cut the time to 1/4, no doubt.
