Product Description
Makita has revolutionized the cordless tool market with its 18V LXT® sub - compact series. These tools offer the ease of handling like 12V tools but with the long run - time and system compatibility of 18V models. The 18V LXT® sub - compact Brushless 1/2 In. square drive Impact Wrench, the XWT13ZB, is a perfect choice for tight spaces and overhead jobs. Its efficient Makita Brushless Motor BL™ gives up to 50% longer run - time, more power and speed, and a longer tool lifespan. With variable two - speed settings (0 - 1300/0 - 2400 RPM and 0 - 2000/0 - 3600 IPM) and up to 130 ft. lbs. of max torque, it provides excellent control. Its compact size and light weight reduce operator fatigue, especially during overhead work. The reverse rotation auto - stop mode adds convenience by halting rotation and impact once the fastener is loosened. It also comes with a variable speed trigger, built - in L.E.D. lights, and a handy 1/2 In. square drive for quick socket changes. The tool features Makita's extreme protection technology (XPT™), which seals key internal components, protecting them from water and dust in harsh conditions. Included in the package is one cordless impact wrench. The BL™ Brushless Motor can deliver 155 ft. lbs. of max torque. The variable 2 - speed provides great fastening control for various applications. It has an ultra - compact and ergonomic design, just 5 - 15/16 inches. It's AWS™ compatible with an optional auto - start wireless unit (sold separately). The brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently, eliminating carbon brushes. It has a large cutting capacity (2 - 1/4 inches at 90°) and bevel capacity (0° - 50°). LXT® technology allows up to 174 crosscuts per charge in 2x10 SPF lumber using a 5.0Ah battery (battery not included). The Automatic Speed Change™ technology optimizes cutting performance. Dual L.E.D. lights brighten the work area, and an electric brake boosts productivity. The aluminum base and magnesium blade cover offer a lightweight yet durable design. XPT™ enhances dust and water resistance. The rubberized soft - grip handle increases comfort, and a 3 - stage L.E.D. gauge shows the battery charge level. There's an on - board blade wrench for convenience, a built - in dust blower for accuracy, and a flat motor housing for stability when changing the blade.
Using the Makita XWT13ZB Impact Wrench is a breeze. First, make sure you have a compatible 18V LXT battery (not included). Insert the battery into the tool until it clicks into place. For different tasks, you can adjust the variable two - speed settings according to your needs. The lower speed is great for precise work, while the higher speed is for faster fastening or loosening. When using it overhead, take advantage of its compact size and light weight to reduce fatigue. To loosen a fastener, set the tool to reverse mode. The reverse rotation auto - stop mode will stop the rotation and impact once the fastener is loosened enough, so you don't have to worry about over - loosening. When it comes to changing sockets, the 1/2 In. square drive makes it quick and easy. The built - in L.E.D. lights can illuminate the work area, helping you work in low - light conditions. As for maintenance, keep the tool clean. After using it in a dusty or wet environment, wipe it down with a dry cloth. Thanks to the XPT™ technology, it's more resistant to dust and water, but still try to avoid extreme conditions if possible. Check the battery regularly. Use the 3 - stage L.E.D. gauge to see the charge level, and recharge it when needed. Also, make sure to store the tool in a dry and cool place. If you plan to use the AWS™ feature, you'll need to purchase the optional auto - start wireless unit separately and follow the installation instructions.
