with the XWT02Z here in america it seems its here to stay. Apparently it sells really well in the box stores around here (who would buy that Sherman tank over the Milwaukee fuel or ingersoll rand (basically M1 Abrams) is beyond me.... if i want something that heavy i want 1,100 pounds of nut busting torque. But hey maybe if we whine enough we will get an updated version I think Makita gave up on guys like me who work in a shop. Snap-On and Milwaukee have it locked down in the cordless market.

I'm moving towards the XWT02 i think. I Thought this was makitas 2nd attempt at the automotive market correct me if im wrong but was this to replace model XWT05Z with more torque, brushless, and have a lighter and more compact look? I actually have an impact driver at the moment. Well 2 Models XDT04 and XDT08Z (hate 08, as its brushless but can barely keep up if not match my brushed motor model) And for the guy who suggested the TD148... i just might buy one as i can pick the color i want LOL! 1550 In. pounds also!!!!!! Silly XDT08Z only does 1420 in. pounds

Looking for a new Impact wrench and im wonder which one will hold up betting in an automotive environment. I really like the Brushless compact one (XWT02) as its small but i would like to hear some opinions if that torque and brushless motor live up to all of the hype. my questions are will it take off tires, will it take off suspensions bolts or break free axles nuts on cars or trucks, and will it hold up to getting staind with other and other gunk. I'm in the makita line 5 tools now so i would like to buy another makita if i can. This is for working on cars when im not at the shop and have to work on my truck or a friends vehicle.
