MAKITA RELEASES NEW HIGH TORQUE IMPACT WRENCH WITH EXTENDED ANVIL

New cordless impact wrench is engineered for high-torque fastening in hard-to-reach places

September 9, 2025, La Mirada, CA – Makita U.S.A., Inc., manufacturer of high-quality professional tools, power equipment, and accessories, has released the new 40V max XGT® 4-Speed High-Torque 3/4" Square Drive Extended Anvil Impact Wrench w/ Friction Ring (GWT11) that outpowers similar models in heavy load applications.

“Makita is expanding the 40V XGT impact wrench lineup with the new Extended Anvil Impact Wrench,” said Robert Monroe, product manager, drilling, fastening and expansion, Makita U.S.A., Inc. “The GWT11 was engineered to allow users to handle high-torque fasteners in hard-to-reach places, without having to use an extension that can add extra wear to the impact wrench or cause any torque loss. The new Extended Anvil Impact Wrench is an ideal solution for pros who perform repeated, high-torque applications.

Power and Efficiency

The GWT11 features a Makita-built brushless motor that delivers 1,400 ft. lbs. of Nut-Busting Torque and 1,110 ft. lbs. of Fastening Torque with Extended Anvil. It features 3 forward modes and 1 reverse Auto-Stop mode for increased efficiency.

Speed Settings and Trigger Control

The 4-speed power selection switch (0-500 / 0-700 / 0-1,100 / 0-1,800 RPM & 0-Impact* / 0-1,400 / 0-2,000 / 0-2,600 IPM) is engineered for a wide range of applications. It has an ultra-smooth variable speed trigger that provides optimum control. It features a full speed mode function that reduces the trigger pull to reach full speed.

Convenience Features

Convenience features include dual L.E.D. lights; one below the anvil and one on the tool’s foot for added illumination in low light environments. It also features a reinforced gear housing that is engineered for maximum job site durability.

XGT®: One System of Cordless Equipment and Tools

The new Impact Wrench is part of Makita XGT®, an expanding system of 40V max and 80V max cordless equipment and tools.
