Makita 40V MAX XGT Brushless Cordless 4-Speed 1/2 In. Sq. Drive Impact Wrench Kit w/ Friction Ring Anvil (2.5Ah) - GWT04D

Makita 40V MAX XGT Brushless Cordless 4-Speed 1/2 In. Sq. Drive Impact Wrench Kit w/ Friction Ring Anvil (2.5Ah) - GWT04D

The Makita XGT brushless cordless impact wrench kit with a 1/2 Inch square drive is designed to use for automotive, installation and fabrication industries for getting enhanced fastening control. This impact wrench is powered by a Makita-built brushless motor that delivers 465 ft-lb of nut-busting torque and 260 ft-lb of fastening torque that helps in heavy-duty applications. Four operating speeds can be selected with the help of a power selection switch that facilitates in a wide range of applications. Three forward and three reverse rotation auto-stop modes are provided increases the tool efficiency when the fastener loosens the grip. Full speed mode mechanism minimizes the trigger pull to gain optimum operating speed. Extreme protection technology prevents the accumulation of water and dust on the tool even in harsh conditions. Reinforced construction of the gear endures wear and tear in jobsites. The XGT technology makes use of 40 Volt Lithium batteries to produce optimum power in high demand applications. Wrench comes with a friction ring anvil.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean after use: Wipe tool body and vents with a soft dry cloth to remove dust/debris and prevent overheating. Avoid harsh solvents. 

• Check fasteners: Periodically inspect and tighten all external screws/bolts; use thread‑locker if needed to reduce vibration loosening.

• Inspect drive and sockets: Check the square drive and impact sockets for wear or damage; replace worn parts to maintain safe torque. 

• Battery care: Use genuine Makita XGT batteries and chargers only; store batteries in a cool, dry place; avoid deep discharge to extend battery life.

• Protect from moisture: XPT helps resist dust and water, but avoid direct water exposure and do not submerge the tool.Professional service: For internal issues or performance changes, use Makita Authorized Service Centers.
