Delivering a maximum fastening torque of 800Nm, it is engineered to handle the rigours of construction, scaffolding, steel erection, utility maintenance, and heavy-duty assembly work. The brushless motor provides improved efficiency and longer runtime compared to brushed alternatives, while reducing the need for routine motor maintenance. An electronic 3-stage impact power selection allows precise control across a range of fastener types and sizes, with the tool capable of driving standard bolts from M12 to M24 and high tensile bolts from M10 to M22. Jobsite practicality is well considered with a built-in LED work light for visibility, an integrated hanging ring, and a wide hook for working at height. The ergonomic grip and balanced construction help reduce fatigue during prolonged use, and the battery protection system automatically cuts power when charge levels fall critically low. Note: This is a bare unit; no battery or charger is included.
The Makita DTW800Z is a high-performance cordless impact wrench designed for professional contractors, steel erectors, and industrial maintenance crews who require extreme fastening power for demanding structural applications. Featuring a brushless motor that delivers up to 800Nm of torque, this tool excels in heavy-duty assembly and scaffolding work, though users should be aware that as a bare unit, it requires the separate purchase of Makita 18v LXT batteries and a compatible charger.
