It's a wrench not a driver.
Amen
I’m a tow truck driver, I have this thing. It pulls lugs off trucks. Even took the lugs off the front wheels of my tow truck.
Where your gona see the impact wrench shine is busting bolts loose, such as lug nuts on cars, the impact driver can't do that but the wrench can.
I’m old school. I would use the wrench for nuts and bolt, the driver for fixings. That’s where the speed will count on the new wrench, more control.
Impact wrench it's going to hit harder and be faster in reverse then in forward try some test in reverse
Someone doesn't know the difference between an impact driver and an impact wrench.
Thanks for the video and the work. Like the others said, we got half the picture with no reverse tests. Impact wrenches main jam is on nut busting torque.
I have the impact wrench and the impact driver.
The driver is perfect for fasteners and drives them much faster if you do construction.
But the impact wrench is designed for nuts and bolts to loosen and tighten them with a much higher torque up to 80% higher to fasten and up to 110% more to loosen.
So I use it to change the wheels on my car just because the impact driver is to weak to loose tight bolts.
And that's also the reason for the lower speed of the tool as well of the nut loosen function on the tool so it loosens the nut und then shuts down so you don't loose the not.
Use the tool for the intended purpose and you will have fun.
I never go to the garage to change wheels because I am much faster now doing it myself.
This video shows how high the loosening torque of this tool really is. ruclips.net/video/uq6edTR6Xvo/видео.html
That's why I don't bother to have to use a big lever if a bolt is sized.
Thanks for this. Was doing some research on what to buy and this helped a ton. Great video as well!
@@lRoboToast I just wanted to put the record right. I use the tool to change the wheels on my car.
And I never ever got a problem. And I use the slow speed to put them on and then the torque wrench to fasten it to the right amount.
To much torque is also not optimal ;-).
@@abelgerli Thanks for the update! I appreciate it. I'll be using the tool for the same situations. Mainly loosening bolts and working on the car. I've got a driver for around the house stuff.
@@abelgerli I'm looking to get this Makita impact wrench for the same purpose [loosen lug nuts, car bolts]. Reading the specs, XWT11Z has 210ft lbs. My wheels are torqued to 140ft lbs, I'm assuming the tool will be able to handle this. How many ft lbs are your wheels torqued too?
@@salgarcia9518 Tool is rated here in Europe for 280 Nm. 210 ft lbs are 284Nm so it might be right on the edge of your rating but you have to use a torque wrench anyway to ensure you don't over or under tighten. The more than 400 Nm to loosen should be ok to loosen most nuts but on a bigger vehicle it may come to the limit.
But the test I submitted ended at 420 In to loosen with success.
In my opinion there are is right now a more powerful version the DTW300RTJ with 330Nm to fasten this will ensure you will break loose every bolt with ease. And you can use one step down to fasten to don't over torque when putting your weels on. My wheels are only 130Nm so I am totally fine we don't use pickups in Europe.
In my opinion the bigger impacts of 440Nm to 2000Nm in the line up are way to clunky if you don't need them.
The DTW300RTJ is a very new tool in Europe so I don't know if you can get it in your area it is also very compact if the pictures don't lie.
Good testing nice and informative
I am sure that I am FRIST one to say that and I am glad you started doing the tool reviews toolbox is overflowing with driver bits. Love the Makita products one of a few last companies that are self-sustaining Tool Boss did a vid on there new 40 Volt line and also there new 18 volt items for 2020.
I've se6the new 40v they look cool
@@ToolReviewZone I am not a fan of the electronic speed indicator I prefer the variable type finger there is less to break and go wrong. Well the driver's rpm is rated 3,600 RPMs and the wrench is at 3,500 RPMs so I guess it has to do with what the application of each is designed for.
@@stanleymcman9422 yeah I like the switch indicators too, but the electronic buttons dont really bother me to much. The numbers are close to each other, but the question I ask myself when reviewing these tool are, would I pay $189 for this wrench when I could drop $90 on the driver and get more out of it. That's why I'm so torn on this one. Just wish it had more power. Thanks for the comment Stan 👊
I love Love LOVE Makita but thankfully i have zero uses for any impact wrench. Thanks fur the review, Clint. Happy November and God bless!😁👍
Thanks for the comment Dave!!!!!👊
@@ToolReviewZone 👊😁
Thanks for another great video.
Your welcome and thanks for the comment Rob!!!!!
i have this tool, for working on cars. it takes even axle nuts off with a fresh battery. one time i was on a construction where we needed to drive in about 10 in long screws like in the video, and i was disappointed with the tool, but if i use it for the intended purpose (bolts, nuts) it is excellent.
Thank you for review 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You got it JR, and thanks for the comment!
It would be great if you could do another test, but this time with bolts and measuring what torque both tools output as i don't think this wrench is intended to be used for wood fasteners but rather heavy bolts. I think the wrench has a lot more torque and will shine there compared to the impact as it's intended to be used in such fashion.
Thanks
Exactly. It's a wrench not a driver.
Your review was right because I bought the same one and it really lacked in power. I ended up returning it because I really don’t have any uses for it knowing it can’t drive in things. What surprised me is it’s half inch and really lacked power
Hi..thanks for the review..
You right!! ..that makita is smaller but need more power...That's what Im looking for...more power
Thanks again..
That is small for a 1/2' impact wrench. I do like the lights on drills. Good tool review. thumbs up !
buddy thanks for the comparison, tomorrow I have to unscrew the wheels on my JCB 530 and I was thinking about bl xpt dtw285z. But now I see that 1/4 "is enough. And I have a few of them. I'll unscrew it a little by hand and then 1/4" to work. 250 € stays in my pocket. 😀🍺
Good review. Dewalt and Ryobi both have one that is 300 ft/lbs. I did not understand the 210 either. If it had been 300 or 310 I would have gotten one. I have an original Ryobi 200 that I have beat the snot out of and it works fine. I have a Makita impact driver that works well for a lot of small stuff. I saw these in the clearance today at HD for 149. Making me think about them. Since they are now in the clearance area makes me wonder if they are coming out with something new.
Very possible Bob. Thanks for the feedback bro👊
I'm just looking for a decent one to change a tire or two I'm a tow truck driver..I don't always get a tire change probably get 2 or 3 a month any suggestions
I'm a fun of Makita, I think is not meant for construction, as it have more power in reverse, I might think this is mean for auto repairs, where you have to loosen bolts.
That's what i think. I would love to see a review on that field.
Thanks and awesome video, by the way as of right now is 149.00 with charger and 2.0 battery at the home depot.
Jarco101 I was thinking the same.
Maybe it's more for mechanics who want something that has a 1/2" socket drive as part of the tool>
I know that the next size up 1/2" Makita impact is heavy af, so a middle of the road 1/2" impact is probably appealing to Makita folks who are more car mechanic types. I have the XWT08Z and it is a beast. No fun at all to use on my car, unless I need a beefy 1/2" impact. If I worked on cars more, maybe I'd consider the little fella as an alternative so that I can throw sockets right onto the tool.
Good video, thanks.
Hey man, don't want to sound bad. But any chance you have a faulty tool? The battery gauge seems pretty strange.
I have this exact impact and I would never be able to say that it would beat my impact driver in terms of power.
I've used mine with 30mm sockets and everything without a problem
It's a very good possibility cheveres. Its happened before on other tools so I'll give it the benefit of a doubt. I'll reach out to them and see if there could be an issue with it
yeah, this wrench is pretty much best-in-class as far as compacts go.
We have 2 XDT14s, 3 XWT11s, 2 of the old old brushed XWT05/BTW251 and a high torque XWT08. The 11 blows the impact driver & brushed wrenches out of the water. And the high torque XWT08 only really comes out for seriously bound or rusted bolts, epoxy concrete anchor and truck/heavy equipment maintenance. I've pushed the 11 to its limits plenty though and that thing can still pull off some rusty motor pulleys with a 3 jaw puller. It'll also push 10 HP motors (~150 lbs, oriented 30 degrees uphill) up the motor mount track turning the 1-1/8" nuts on the adjustment rods.
Those are actually typical jobs for the high torque wrench too, but we only have one. So whenever it's not available I'm pushing this wrench to its absolute limits and it never ceases to impress me. Probably my all time favorite tool next to our cordless SDS Max.
Would be great if Makita would come out with a mid-torque wrench to fill the gap though.
Hi. I have both .....i think something wrong with your...coz.my broke every 1/4 bits. Is much stronger than my dtd171(in europe is DTD171 and DTW285).
@@AaBB-ks6oc makita has a 1/2" impact wrench model XWT15 Z that has 240 ft.lbs. of max tourge and 430 ft. Lbs.nut busting tourge it's only 5 5/8" long and weights 4.0 lbs with battery
Is this really an ALL NEW tool from Makita? I want to say I was shopping for a mid-size, mid-torque, cordless impact wrench about a year ago, and ended up choosing a DeWalt. But this was one that I considered. There are YT reviews of this exact product from a year ago, even from two years back if you look up the non-USA product designation. Back when it was released, it performed favorably compared to competitors, despite having lesser advertising specs. Since then, several competitor brands have released much improved models in this class.
However, you are correct in your assessment that Makita's own impact drivers from that time seem to perform similarly. My guess is that it uses the same motor as the XDT14Z, with modified RPM, IPM, and hammer heft. It'll probably outperform the XDT14Z at automotive tasks, while not needing an adapter to use impact sockets.
Anyway, love the videos. Just want to make sure we're giving this one a fair shake.
Hey Dusty. I think you are correct about the all new. That has just been removed. I also think you are correct about the motor on theses as they are really close in comparison. I understand what you mean about the automotive use, but if that's the case, they should probably state (best uses in automotive), but we all know that will never happen. When someone looks for an impact wrench (especially at this price point) they should get more than what they are with this model. Just my opinion though. Thanks for the feedback bro
😎👍💯Good review...
I will not be looking to Makita any time soon.
Thanks Kanzee. Not this one anyway
The dtw285 ment to tighten sockets to 400nm but i agree i have 1 it's less powerfull going forward then reverse
I had the same makita impact wrench and have to say I was really disappointed with it. Used mainly for automotive use, and some construction. It got stolen and I bought a milwaukee m12 fuel to replase it, and that thing works 100 times better. Probably going to invest in a makita to milwaukee 18v adapter to get the big milwaukee impact aswell.
You are definitely on track, I wouldn't pay much for it I got mine on clearance for 150.00 with a battery and charger, there are times I rather use my 1/2 Inch ratchet parts and pieces rather than using impact driver attachments. But I use my mid size dewalt for serious stuff.
Thanks for the upload... i appreciated it. But ... i do have a driver love it,. For construction and destruction, but id like to have a more powerful 'IMPACT ' cordless for taking off wheels and bumpers from the old 1970 style trucks and cars ..
If you know what i mean,they are on there and need real power, i am invested in makita now saws,grinders drills and want to continue...dont see myself going to anything else,or to the newer makita super battery anytime soon. I figure, there are gonna be alot of used tools on the market when guys switch over to that style of makita tool.,and I'll just gather up all of the unwanted lxt style.
So a good trial would be taking off a wheel is what I'd like to see.
Also just with a straight drill in low i can put a lag through a 4x4 and into a wall to the stud ...i actually taught my nephew how low setting is way more powerful than high speed the day i had him help me put up my fence. I asked him to get that 4x4 attached to the garage and he tried and came to me ,told me my drill wasn't strong enough...😳at the time it was the older style Milwaukee 18 volt that i thought would last me along time, well i went to see what he was doing wrong,and sure enough he had it in high, so i told him low speed will get er done,he was slightly amazed...😊 well wouldn't you know it, low speed in a truck has better pulling power to. By the way that particular Milwaukee battery didn't have a long life and paid around 600$ for just a drill charger and two batteries, what was i thinking. I think it might have just barely paid for itself...😊 that was in the early 2000enths ...not sure if this was interesting, but hey ...👍😬
All companies don’t do certain items very well. For Makita, it’s impact wrenches. I agree with you, kinda head scratching why this lacks torque it’s not like Makita can’t do it.
Right. If it was a little more power, I'd be jumping over the moon with joy because of the size of it. Thanks for the feedback Mike!
Honestly think this tool is designed for automotive/industrial equipment repair, not wood work. However the impact wrench hits harder but slower. Clearly. That 1/4” adapter on the impact driver will show you its limitations.
Yeah but the impact really wasn't hitting harder by much. I put the specs in the video, it is was basically the same as the driver except for maybe a bit more ft lbs. That's why I can't justify the price as it is twice as expensive as the driver. Jus6my opinion though, thanks for the feedback
2800 vs 3600 rpm.
Impact driver cant take off car high torqued wheel bolts the wrench can
If they made it a 3/8 drive instead of a 1/2 inch it definitely would have made more sense 👍🏼
Will it remove truck lug nuts.
No
Make sure everyone smash the like button show the love to trz
Thanks bro, I appreciate the love 😎😎😎
Wow at the driver being faster
Yeah pretty weird Antonio. Thanks for the comment bro
Good video Clint
Do like Makita tools (was the first brand ever used when started out as apprentice long ago) & don’t have anything really against them....& think if a tool gets the job done & makes you money & saves time, it’s a good tool. My current impact wrenches are the m12 3/8” stubby, m18 mid, & m18 high torque impact wrenches & haven’t had any issues with them...... This Makita seems a tad underpowered to me, unless something is wrong or malfunctioning with this specific tool??? All that said, I’m kind of surprised at the performance of this new Makita Impact Wrench, & I’m just not that impressed with it at all......kind of a bummer for being a new tool & just seems odd that Makita would release a tool like this. Maybe it does have a place, but not sure what that is.....but i do know that for me, it’s not gonna make it into my tool box, & will stay with my current load out😊
Thx for the review & thoughts....appreciate the info & video👍🏻
Have a good one✌🏼
Thanks for the awesome feedback Bro. Yeah I mean, maybe it's just me or possibly a bad unit, but I'm a bit underwhelmed by it too
this wrench is like 5 years old. It originally came out as the XWT02. Then they added autostop as an extra speed setting and renamed it to XWT11 in ~late 2016.
It's also better than the M12 stubby, 250 vs 295 ft lbs nut-busting. As well as the compact Milwaukee M18 2755-20 it's SUPPOSED to compete against. It is NOT a mid-torque impact wrench either. The M18 mid-torque WITHOUT a battery weighs the same the Makita XWT11 WITH a 5.0. The Makita is a compact wrench and is advertised that way.
It's also not worse than a freaking XDT14, lol. We use both of these exact models for fastening thousands of bolts a day. But the XDT14 really only comes out on old work because the extra 800 RPM gives it an edge at zipping off nuts, assuming they aren't rusted and seized to the point of deterioration. The XWT11 is also mandatory for fastening because the XDT14 does not hit hard enough, especially when the bolts start binding.
We replaced our corded 7.5A Dewalt 292s with these things. They aren't anywhere near as bad as this video shows.
@@AaBB-ks6oc ..uhmm..so..this impact wrench..is not bad at all?
..can you do alignment ?
.(.on my old toyota camry..),..Please..I need to know...Thank you..!!
This unit is not about speed. It’s why it lacks in Rpms compared to most drivers. It’s more about consistent torque. Notice when tour driving the lags the driver slows down quite a bit where the wrench continues at about the same speed. I think this tool would be better suited for nut and bolt applications. Some light auto stuff. Definitely some lug nut use but on the smaller side such as cars and some small suvs.
Would you say its worth $180? Just curious
The impact wrench is supposed to be slower so you don't cross thread nuts and bolts. All of them are made like that. 🤣🤷♂ And impact drivers are faster because driving long screws, bolts etc and fasteners. Even Milwaukee impact Wrench is slower than the impact drivers. 👌 Dewalts also same thing and I know this because I own both dewalt ones and makita ones. 👌 more torque and power for working on cars etc but less speeds for more control.
Yeah but the torque is really low for this one so not that much power either
@@ToolReviewZone Yes some impact wrenchs are measured in, foot pounds, or inch pounds, that's how people get confused, inch pounds isn't as strong as ft pounds. So make sure you look for the better tools with 200 ft pounds of torque not 200 inch pounds of torque. 👌
it is not about speed, it is about torque
Yeah well, this doesn't have that either
@@ToolReviewZone lol. I almost bought a combo kit with the impact and the driver as a Christmas present but then I read a review on HD website saying the driver would remove nuts that the impact wouldnt... I just got them the driver and saved the $50
what's up brother how was your Halloween
What's up Joseph!!! I ate to much candy and continue to do so bro. How about you?
Tool Review Zone I'm actually eating right now chocolate and almond candy toblerone

Hi friend i think wrench is different from driver
Hii sir how much this gun
I put a link in the description for you 👊
The impact wrench is used to nuts and bolts where stripping a nut or bolt can cost a lot of time and money (imagine stripping a hole in an engine block). The driver is in its element, the wrench is not.
Impact driver won't take off most car wheel bolts the 285 will
Just got this one today for 149 bucks with 2.o battery n charger at home depot
Andrew Romero me too!! So happy. Great auto mechanic impact. It’s not made for construction.
John Smith did try it on my van lug nuts did it quick pretty much satisfied!
@@JohnSmith-dt7gu ...Hi..!!
...so can I do alignment... on my old sedan toyota camry...Please..I need to know..Thanks!!
Anyone else pretty sure he got a lemon? Haven't seen any kind of comparisons where this wrench was performing this bad and being outdone by an impact driver. It's not as powerful as the milwaukee but it should easily beat any driver.
Impact driver better than the impact wrench is kinda crazy. Makita has quality tools. I have no experience with them. This test shows that you should purchase the driver over the wrench. Interesting results. Nice review. 👍
Thanks for the feedback my dude!
Is it not intended for automotive repair ? It could compete with the milwaukee m12 wrench
It's a wrench not a driver. Hello ?
Nelson H. It’s design for automotive work not construction. A lot of people are missing the point.
Silly comparison.
Trz that Makita impact wrench was way way too slow I could put a conventional ratchet on there and put that lag bolt in that 6 x 6 quicker than that. I think I know what happened you forgot to go into your smartphone and turn up the one key Lol. Let me put it to you lightly that impact sucks I am a huge Makita fan, but I will never buy that one. Thanks for saving me from spending $200.00 to $300.00 dollars on that tool. Makita if you're out there you all can do better than that. Trz thanks for all the information on this tool that was a good video for us consumers. Peace brother
"Let me put it to you lightly that impact sucks"
Hardly. This is one of the best compact wrenches on the market.
The higher rated Hitachi/Metabo HPT (225 vs. 210 ft/lbs, fastening) isn't even as strong as this wrench in real world use.
ruclips.net/video/-4PG_Iejrnw/видео.html
and here it is beating a Milwaukee equivalent by a fair margin:
ruclips.net/video/t84j1Z4eIgk/видео.html
We have 100k+ bolts fastened between our 3 XWT11s. Along with maybe ~20k-30k loosened. These wrenches are worth every single penny. Impact drivers like the XDT14 are only better at driving torx screws (duh) and loosening nuts/removing bolts on good condition old work. (the 800 RPM advantage adds up there) As soon as you throw in bind situations or deteriorating fasteners then the impact drivers don't cut it and you have to use an impact wrench.
@@AaBB-ks6oc Exactly !
Welp, looks like I'm going to have to get Makitas next size up 1/2 impact. I love my Makita tools, but I'm glad I didn't buy this.
I love your reviews, but you are sooooo wrong about this wrench and its intended use and purpose. Most (great majority) youtube tool reviews aren't worth anything and these speed tests are the worst. No offense intended my friend...Of all the reviews, yours are some of the most entertaining for sure. Just remember this my friend...You have a ton of subscribers and viewers...with that comes great responsibility. If you want to be taken seriously about your reviews, you need to know and understand the intended uses and purposes of the tools you review.
Some tools have way too much power. Some have way too much power along with a crappy uncontrollable trigger. Cough Cough..Milwaukee tools. Think of tools like cars...The dodge hellcat (Milwaukee) is an awesome car! has plenty of power, looks, etc.... However, it is nowhere near the lesser powered audi s8 (makita). S8 way more refined and controllable.
Wow very disappointed Makita 🤔 Thanks TRZ 👍
Yeah bro, I'm bummed out over this one for sure
Wow I can’t believe the 1/4” drive beats the 1/2”!
It looks like you could do so much more looks are so deceiving
Yeah something dosen't seem right with this. Not sure why it is so underpowered, but the video doesn't lie bro. Thanks for the comment TC!
It’s for mechanics not construction
Where does it state that?
Tool Review Zone It doesn’t state it anywhere. Just from experience and common sense. In my opinion the wrench out performs the impact driver in mechanics mid-size work applications. In construction field impact driver out perform the wrench in construction/carpentery work. Like I said it’s common sense what it was made for without a statement. By my personal use on working with cars and doing rough framing work it does well in those areas.
@@JohnSmith-dt7gu Yeah I understand what you are saying, but at the end of the day, this is just an under powered tool. If you were trying to take off some tight truck lugs, you would be disappointed
I can get away with using my makita XDT12z impact driver to do my wheels, as they are only 80ft lbs and the driver goes up to 120 or 130 foot pounds, but it can’t be good for it’s longevity. It feels like it’s about to break it’s 1/2” nut driver bit, or the chuck, and believe it or not I had a coworker who’s makita driver actually did brake and jam a bit in the chuck. The tool was more powerful than the bit could handle, and it started to round it off, and he only had the brushed version of my XDT12.
I’d rather use my new XWT11z impact WRENCH with an actual 1/2” anvil, on my car. And frankly, I don’t think I will ever have to drive a lag bolt in my life. The driver gets used for 8mm and 10mm size bolts and machine screws, some rusted in place.
Long story short. "Trash"
Yeah not real happy with this
