"Decent, but definitely not the best out there" 2010-02-16
By Rob (California, USA)
Pros: (1) Got some power, (2) 18 volts lithium ion powered

Cons: (1) Not variable speed, (2) a bit heavy, (3) still relatively big compared to the competition

Overall, it looks to me like this impact wrench might be outdated compared with what's out there today. Most of today's cordless impacts are variable speed. You have MUCH better control with variable speed, especially when you are trying to put nuts back on. With this Makita wrench, soon as you hit the trigger, it goes full speed.

The wrench seems somewhat powerful, but I found a couple of (maybe frozen?) lugnuts this guy could not take off. It was on a '03 Corolla (I think using 21 mm nuts), which is not even close to a tank. I don't know if the car's lugnuts were put on by impact guns before at a shop, but I had no problems with any of the other lugnuts on that car.

My other gripe about this wrench is the size and weight. I did some specs comparisons of the latest cordless impacts out there today (i.e. Milwaukee 2663-22, IR W360P, and Craftsman c3 19.2 cordless impact wrench) and the Makita is the longest as well as heaviest of the bunch. When you read the Makita product description, they mention how the tool is compact and light. I'm guessing it's when comparing it to electric impact wrenches at the time the tool came out. Those electric impacts are much heavier and bigger. But now today's latest cordless impacts are more compact and lighter than this Makita. Check out the specs for the 3 other wrenches I had mentioned and see for yourself.

I actually got the Craftsman c3 19.2 impact wrench with the lithium ion batteries to try out and honestly, I like it much better than the Makita. It has variable speed, is smaller, lighter, much cheaper, and feels just as powerful as the Makita even though it only has a rating of 200 ft lbs of torque. I did some tests like tightening a lugnut to 150 ft lbs and trying both the Makita and Craftsman on it. Both wrenches zipped off the nut very easily. When removing a standard 80 ft lb torqued nut on my Honda Civic, it really seemed like the Craftsman zipped them off easier compared to the Makita. I don't know if they overstated the torque on the Makita or understated it on the Craftsman, but both wrenches seem just as powerful, however the Craftsman felt a bit stronger. Though that is just going by my observation and feeling, so there is no scientific facts or hard numbers to prove it. I don't if this is because the Craftsman has a faster BPM compared with the Makita. Anyway, since I only need an impact gun for my cars at home (I'm never going to working on big machinery), the Craftsman seems plenty powerful enough for me.

I will say the Makita LXT series has good batteries and chargers so if you already have an investment in them, maybe you have no choice but to go with this tool if you need something with more torque. I ended up returning the tool because of the cons, but I'm hoping Makita is working on some next generation high torque cordless impact that will address all the shortfalls I mentioned. As of now, I am sticking with the Craftsman I bought.

"Makita LXT Impact Wrench" 2010-01-11
By R. Carnes (Palm Coast, FL USA)
I bought this to replace my Dewalt heavy duty impact wrench 18v XRP set. I got sick and tired of everytime I needed it - the batteries were dead. Right from the start I have been extremely impressed with this tool, the power is great, I have been working on vehicles and farm equipment for more then 40 years - I used this to remove the 2 1/2" blade holding nuts from a large bush hog - rusted and pacted with debris, it is hard to believe how fast and efficient this tool is. It is stronger then my previous air impact wrenches and much handier out in the field. Too bad I cannot give it more then 5 stars because it deserves it. With the 18v makita lithium ion batteries - it is always ready to go - even months after the last time it was charged.

"Impressive for a Cordless Tool" 2009-07-26
By WI DIY'r (Milwaukee, WI)
I've only used this a few times as I only received it a month or so ago, but so far I am impressed. It's not a light weight tool. In fact it seems to be built like a tank. But it is well balanced and fairly easy to use with one hand. It has plenty of torque, and the toggle power switch is easy to use, although it may take a little getting used to. I guarantee you will run it the reverse direction of what you want once or twice till you get used to it.

"Solid tool, extra battery included" 2009-11-21
By Brian R. Merrill (Eureka, CA)
Haven't had a lot of time to use this but it is typical DeWalt quality and comes with two batteries. Reversible trigger is a bit hard to use in small, awkward spaces. A flip switch or button would be better.

"Worth ever nickle!!!" 2009-06-16
By J. Gravitt (Alabama--USA)
Bought this impact wrench about 6 mos. ago, to use here to rotate tires and where ever else needed. I have a 1977 3/4 ton. Chevy pickup. The lug nuts are self locking and are a real job to remove, from the wheel. This impact wench handles this situation with ease. This impact wrench will do the job. This web site had this wrench, at a lower price than anyone else.

"Nice little power house" 2010-02-25
By Victor J. Bono (Boston,MA)
I was skeptical at first, being that this unit was so light weight, until the first time I used it.

It took off the lug nuts on a 2008 Crown Vic with no problem!

I was disappointed though, when using with the scissor jack, it didn't have the torque to raise the car like previous

impacts I've owned.

I works great with the Porter-Cable PTA9 1/2-Inch SAE Deep Impact sockets I purchased!

"SOME NUMBERS" 2009-11-27
By C. Taylor (NY Queens)
first of all (1,950-Inch/lbs ) torque should read (1,950-lbs/Inch ),which = (162.5 Lbs/Ft), so with the no load (2600-RPMs)

u should be getting (80.5) HP , so u should be getting any where from (55-75)HP with hands full of load

which should be enough to loosen most of the par torqued nuts , I gave it 5 cuase i had experience with hitachi impact drive

, it's great , well done hitachi, BTW why didn't hitachi concider the brushless motor wrench , it would have been great , specialy

that the brushless ones out perform the carbon brush motors with at least (12-18)% in total power and energy saving as well

thanks for Amazons GREAT JOBE

"Powerful" 2009-09-09
By Jeep player (FL USA)
Don't let the size of this tool trick you. This fanstastic little powerhouse removes the wheel lugs on my trailer and SUVs rapidly. The specs say it's only 1950in-pounds, or 162ft-pounds. It seems to have this plus some. For seriously stubborn tasks, a large and heavy electric may be necessary or a pneumatic impact for the ultimate torque, but for 98% of what I do messing with my Jeeps and lawn tractor blade changing etc, this is a super convenient, small, lightweight powerhouse... (and I don't have to move my compressor, or run super long air lines to my work.)

I shopped for a long time before buying this. There are heavier impacts... Ingersol Rand makes a great cordless with Lithium batteries at 350 ft-pounds. It's $400 w/ two batteries. The Dewalt cordless impact has 300 ft-pounds at $299, but it continues to use the outdated Nicad batteries..in the heat where I live, these fail rapidly and you spend a fortune replacing them every year. I looked at more powerful plug-ins, all above the $150 range have great torque (like the Dewalt:340 ft-pounds at $179), but you'll have to run that power cord to your task. And, most of these tools are HEAVY.

My plan is to use this lightweight powerhouse for most of my chores, and when I need super torque, either hit the task with a 24 inch breaker bar, or breakdown and get a corded electric. If your wheel lugs are not seriously coroded and neglected, this tool seems to have the muscle to take them off. It's so small, it's almost fun to see this tool remove the lugs so easily!

"Hitachi Impact Wrench" 2008-08-26
By Thomas G. Marek (Le Roy MN)
Have had impact wrench for few weeks. It is very light and the battery's hold charge very well. The work light is a nice option.

Works well to disassemble engine parts etc.

The only possible negative is it has a tough time with wheel nuts. However it really is not rated as high a tork range as a air impact.

Overall meets all my expectations.
