    Makita XWT08 1/2" impact questions

    It's a monster. I've only had mine for a couple weeks and used it on lug nuts (like butter) and on a strut compressor. It was amazing to see it shrink the spring in seconds. I researched it quite a bit before purchasing, and came to the conclusion its the most powerful cordless impact on the...
