Cordless Makita Impact Wrench Range Overview
Makita Impact Wrenches are a power to behold.
Impact wrenches started life as pneumatic air powered tools and were the sole possession of professional auto mechanics due to their cost. However, as companies like Makita developed cordless impact wrenches, the price has come down and made them available for DIY auto enthusiasts as well as being more affordable for pro mechanics.
Cordless, battery powered impact wrenches have significantly improved as the technology that powers them developed, this of course being the battery. Air powered impact wrenches still have their place in the garage but cordless options are lighter, cheaper and more versatile.
Cordless impact wrenches have greater mobility than air powered tools, being lighter and unencumbered by air hoses and compressors.
The Cordless Makita Impact Wrench range in this review include some of the top 10 impact wrenches available in the UK and are firmly established on the best seller list year-in year-out. There is the Makita DTW1001Z, which has a powerful nut busting torque of 1,700 Nm and the DTW190Z which cannot match the nut busting torque of it’s big brother but is great value at just £65 at the time of review.
Our review awards go to the Makita DTW285Z and Makita DTW300Z, which win the best value award and our editor’s choice award respectively.
The following reviews highlight the strengths of each impact wrench and allows you to compare specifications, models and prices.
What is an Impact Wrench?
An Impact Wrench is specifically designed for tightening and loosening nuts and bolts. They differ from Impact Drivers in that those tools are designed for drilling holes and driving screws.
The fundamental elements of an impact wrench is the torque (rotating force) and impact (short bursts or blows), the former measured in Nm and the latter in ipm or impacts per minute. The table above details the specifications for each impact wrench in the Makita range, with torque shown for both nut busting strength and maximum fastening strength. The wrenches have low, mid and high fastening power settings so you do not always have to go for maximum power, in fact, this may work against you in some circumstances.
This power is the primary advantage of using an impact wrench over a standard hand tool, reducing the physical strength required by the mechanic and making basic tasks much quicker. However, brute strength alone doesn’t get the job done, and impact wrenches have control through the blow mechanism, which reduces hand and wrist strain. The rotational force on these tools is immense but Makita offer ergonomic designs and comfortable grips for prolong use.
The Makita range in this review are all 18v wrenches, which generally means that they deliver more power than the 12v stable-mates, but the extra voltage comes with a slightly heavier battery. The 18v wrenches are considered to be a better option despite this as they are more powerful, have advanced features, making them more versatile and easier to use.
Makita DTW1001Z LXT Brushless Impact Wrench Review
The most powerful impact wrench in the Makita range
- Extra high maximum tightening torque
- Electronic 3 stage impact power selection
- 3/4" Square driving shank
- Standard bolt m12 to m30
- High tensile bolt m10 to m24
The nut busting strength of the DTW1001Z is by far the highest in the Makita range, and at 1,700 Nm torque surpasses the DTW1002Z (1,600 Nm) and DTW700Z (1,000 Nm) which are the only other impact wrenches above 1,000 Nm torque.
The nut busting torque is matched by the fastening strength, which delivers an eye-watering 1,050 Nm torque for those jobs where controlled brute force is needed.
The DTW1001Z features a brushless motor, electric brake and variable speed control for forward / reverse rotation. Power control is managed via 3 electronic impact power settings (Hard/Medium/Soft) and when coupled with the ergonomically designed soft grip, compact shape and lightweight design, enable ease-of-use and all-day working.
The range of bolts is equally impressive with standard bolt range M12-M30 and high tensile range M10-M24.

Makita DTW1002Z LXT Brushless Impact Wrench Review
Excellent performance, matched by its ergonomic design and range
- Extra high maximum tightening torque
- Brushless motor. Sound power level: 108 dba)
- Electronic 3 stage impact power selection
- Standard bolt m12 to m30
- High tensile bolt m10 to m24
The Makita DTW1002Z is the oh so slightly downgrade from the DTW1001Z wrench, delivering an almost equally brilliant nut busting force of 1,600 Nm torque, just behind the DTW1001Z torque of 1,700 Nm.
The DTW1002Z matches the DTW1001Z with max blows (2,200 ipm), design, weight and bolt range, M12-M30 for standard bolts and M10-M24 for high tensile bolts.
Other than nut busting power, the DTW1002Z offers slightly lower fastening torque at 1,000 Nm against 1,050 Nm for the DTW1001Z but will you really notice the difference?
The DTW1002Z features thereafter match the DTW1001Z with a brushless motor, electric brake and variable speed controls. Likewise for the power control with 3 electronic impact power settings (Hard/Medium/Soft) and ergonomic design with soft grip, compact shape and lightweight design.
At the time of this review, the DTW1001Z was on offer on Amazon for a slightly lower price than the DTW1002Z but best to check prices before making a final decision between these two impact wrenches.

Makita DTW180Z LXT Brushless Impact Wrench Review
Top quality, low price and high impacts per minute make the DTW180Z an excellent choice
- Brushless motor
- 2 stage impact power selection
- Reverse rotation auto stop mode
- Standard bolt m8 to m16
- High tensile bolt m6 to m12
The Makita DTW180Z BL LXT impact wrench delivers 310 Nm nut busting torque and fastening torque of 180 Nm. Whilst this may not be the most power impact wrench in the Makita range, this tool isn’t aimed at that criteria.
If you are looking for an impact wrench to work with bolt sizes at the bottom end of the range, the DTW180Z works with standard bolts M8-M16 and high tensile bolts ranging from M6-M12, the only impact wrench in the Makita range to offer this, other than the DTW181Z and DTW190Z.
The DTW180Z comes second only to the DTW300Z in terms of impact blows at 3,600 ipm.
Like all the Makita range, the DTW180Z is beautifully designed, lightweight and comes with a carefully designed grip for all-day use. Features include a brushless motor, electric brake and variable speed control with forward / reverse rotation. Functionality includes reverse rotation auto stop mode which works by pulling the trigger fully in counter-clockwise rotation. When the nut/bolt is sufficiently loosened, the wrench stops the impact and rotation in just 0.2 seconds.

Makita DTW181Z LXT Brushless Impact Wrench Review
More powerful than the DTW180Z, the Makita DTW181Z is a formidable impact wrench
- Ideal for working in tight spaces and overhead applications
- Brushless motor
- 2 stage impact power
- 1/2" square drive for quick socket changes
- Electric brake
The DTW181Z is an upgrade to the previous DTW180Z and comes with enhanced strength in a slightly higher nut busting torque of 330 Nm and fastening torque of 210 Nm.
Other features remain the same between the models with focus on the lower bolt range (standard bolts: M8-M16, high tensile bolts: M6-M12) and higher impact blows (3,600 ipm).
At the time of publishing this review, the price of the DTW181Z was fractionally higher but the additional power easily justifies this.

Makita DTW190Z LXT Cordless Impact Wrench Review
Entry level impact wrench that makes a big impact
- Not recommended for Scaffolding applications
- Led job light
- Standard bolt m8 to m16
- High tensile bolt m8 to m12
- 1 year manufacturer warranty with a further 2 years when registered within 30 days of purchase. This guarantee does not apply where non-genuine or recommended parts or accessories are fitted to the...
The Makita DTW190Z is the entry-level tool in the range and is by far the cheapest Makita impact wrench at the time of review.
Don’t think you’ll lose out by going for this model as it pretty much matches the DTW181Z for nut busting torque (320 Nm) and beats the DTW180Z fastening torque (190 Nm) but for half price of the other models.
The standard and high tensile bolt range match too so there’s no loss there either. Other than price, the main difference in the DTW190Z to the others is a slight drop in impact blows at 3,000 ipm vs 3,600 ipm.
Other features include electric brake, variable speed control trigger, forward / reverse rotation and LED light. This cordless impact wrench is equipped with battery protection circuit, which is designed to protect the battery from damages due to over-discharge, high temperature or overload current.
The DTW190Z matches other Makita wrenches in regard to design, handling, feel, grip and weight for comfort and control.
- Brand: Makita

Makita DTW251Z LXT Cordless Impact Wrench Review
The Makita DTW251Z is a compact and lightweight cordless impact wrench, featuring maximum fastening torque of 230 Nm
- Not recommended for Scaffolding applications
- Conveniently located push button for forward/reverse
- Led job light
- 1/2" Square driving shank
- Standard bolt m10 to m16
The DTW251Z is a slight upgrade to the DTW190Z in that it has nut busting torque of 370 Nm and fastening torque of 230 Nm.
Like all of the impact wrenches in this Makita review, it is cordless and uses a 18v battery for enhanced power over its 12v cousins. The lithium-ion batteries have greater life spans than their Ni-MH or Ni-Cad counterparts giving 430% greater run time and with a 40% weight saving means 18v power can be obtained by a battery that weighs the same as a 12v Ni-MH battery.*
There is a conveniently located push button for forward and reverse, along with high comfort grips and LED task light with afterglow. Bolt range is M10-M16 for standard bolts and M10-M14 for high tensile bolts.

Makita DTW450Z Cordless Impact Wrench Review
Makita DTW450Z is a powerful but compact and lightweight cordless impact wrench
- 1/2" Square driving shank
- Led job light
- Large rocker switch
- Standard bolt m12 to m22
- High tensile bolt m12 to m16
The Makita DTW450Z is a powerful but compact and lightweight cordless impact wrench that is one of the best in the Makita range.
Power is supplied to the cordless wrench from a shock-absorbing 18v lithium-ion battery, and performance comes from the impressive 730 Nm nut busting torque and 440 Nm fastening strength.
Comfort and ergonomic design compliment this performance, as does the extensive bolt range; standard bolts M12-M22, high tensile bolts M12-M16.
Whilst performance and features are good, the price at time of review was higher than both the DTW285Z and DTW300Z, making them preferred options over the DTW450Z but this shouldn’t take anything away from this model, just check prices before committing to another model.
