Power and Performance

The 3-Speed 1/2" Square Drive Impact Wrench combines extended run time and speed control for unmatched fastening performance. It is powered by a Makita-built brushless motor for longer run time. The brushless motor delivers 780 ft.lbs. of Fastening Torque and 960 ft.lbs. of Nut-Busting Torque.

Speed Control Extended, Run Time

The XWT19 features a 3-speed power selection switch (0-900 / 0-1,000 / 0-2,000 RPM & 0-1,800 / 0-2,000 / 0-2,400 IPM) for precise fastening control in a wide range of applications. It is powered by a Makita-built brushless motor for longer run time. The XWT19 features a flexible joint that isolates the battery from the grip to help reduce wear on the battery contacts.

Convenience Features

Convenience features include twin L.E.D job lights with preglow and afterglow functions, as well as a rubberized soft grip that provides increased comfort on the job. The XWT19 weighs only 7.5 lbs. with a 5.0 battery for reduced operator fatigue.

Extreme Protection

Impact wrenches are used on harsh job site environments, and the new 3-Speed 1/2" Sq. Drive Impact Wrench features Makita's Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), which is a protective seal inside the tool. It is designed to improve a tool’s operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components.
