Product Information

Full details

The Makita DTL300Z 18v Cordless Angled Impact Wrench is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who need a powerful and versatile tool for working in tight spaces. Its key benefit is its slim head design combined with significant fastening and nut-busting torque, allowing for efficient operation in confined areas. A notable caveat is that this is a body-only tool, requiring a separate Makita 18v Li-ion battery and charger. Key features include 340Nm fastening torque, 530Nm nut busting torque, variable speed control, an electric brake, a built-in job light with adjustable brightness, and a 3-stage impact power selection.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of battery does the Makita DTL300Z use?

The Makita DTL300Z is compatible with Makita's 18v LXT Li-ion battery series. Batteries and chargers are sold separately.

What is the maximum bolt size this wrench can handle?

It is suitable for standard bolts up to M20 and high-tensile bolts up to M16.

Can I use regular impact sockets with this tool?

Yes, it is designed for use with standard 1/2" drive impact-rated sockets. Avoid using non-impact or chrome vanadium sockets, as they may break.

How do I adjust the speed and power?

The speed is adjusted via the variable speed trigger. The impact power is selected using the 3-stage impact power selection switch, typically located near the tool's base.

What is the purpose of the slim head design?

The slim head design allows the wrench to access fasteners in very tight and confined spaces where a traditional impact wrench would not fit, common in automotive engine bays or tight chassis areas.

Does this tool come with a battery and charger?

No, the Makita DTL300Z is sold as a 'body-only' tool. You will need to purchase a Makita 18v LXT Li-ion battery and charger separately if you do not already own them.

How bright is the job light, and does it stay on after I release the trigger?

The LED job light has three brightness levels and features both pre-glow (illuminates before trigger squeeze) and afterglow (stays on for a short period after trigger release) functions for better visibility.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not power on.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check battery contacts for dirt or damage. Try a different, known-good battery.

Reduced power or slow operation.

The battery may be low on charge; recharge it. Clean the battery contacts on both the tool and the battery. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the anvil.

Impacts are not engaging.

Check the direction switch is not between settings. Ensure the tool is set to the appropriate impact power level. The fastener may be seized beyond the tool's capacity.

LED light not working.

Check battery charge level. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
