Product Information

Full details

The Makita 18V LXT Cordless Brushless 3/8" Drive Angle Impact Wrench (DTL302Z) is designed for professionals and DIYers tackling tasks in confined or challenging spaces, such as automotive repair and machinery maintenance. Its primary benefit is delivering high torque in a compact, ergonomic form factor, allowing access to tight spots with reduced user fatigue. A key caveat is that this is a body-only product, requiring separate purchase of a battery and charger. It features a brushless motor for efficiency, variable speed control, and an LED job light.

FAQs

What is included with the Makita DTL302Z?

The Makita DTL302Z is sold as a 'body only' unit. This means it includes the impact wrench tool itself, but does not come with a battery, charger, or case. These accessories must be purchased separately.

What type of battery does this impact wrench use?

This impact wrench is powered by Makita's 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery system. Any compatible Makita 18V LXT battery will work with this tool.

What is the maximum torque rating?

The Makita DTL302Z provides a maximum fastening torque of 340Nm and a nut-busting torque of up to 530Nm.

Can this tool be used for general-purpose driving?

While it has variable speed, it is primarily designed as an impact wrench for fastening and loosening bolts and nuts. For general screw driving, a dedicated impact driver or drill driver may be more suitable.

How do I select the speed?

There is a variable speed control dial located near the trigger. Rotate the dial to select the desired speed setting (0-1000/1500/3200 RPM) based on your application.

Is this tool suitable for outdoor or wet conditions?

The tool features Makita's eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT), which provides enhanced resistance to dust and water. However, it is not fully waterproof and should not be immersed in water or operated in extremely severe weather conditions.

What is the drive size?

The drive size is a standard 3/8" (9.5mm) square drive, compatible with common 3/8" sockets.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not power on.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the battery contacts are clean. Try a different compatible battery.

Low torque or slow operation.

Verify the battery charge level. Ensure the selected speed is appropriate for the task. Check the socket and fastener for damage or excessive resistance. Clean the tool's air vents.

Impacts are weak or intermittent.

Check the battery charge. Ensure the tool is not overheating. Some resistance or a fastener not fully seated can affect impact consistency. Consult the manual for specific impact operation.

LED light does not turn on.

Check battery connection. If the light still does not activate with a charged battery, there may be an internal issue. Contact customer support.
