Makita 108v cordless impact wrench

A cordless impact wrench is a powerful, high-torque tool specifically designed for loosening and tightening large nuts and bolts quickly and efficiently. It’s the go-to tool for automotive work, machinery repair, and heavy construction.

Key Differences from a Cordless Drill

While a drill applies constant rotational force (torque), an impact wrench delivers short, sharp, concussive bursts of rotational force (impacts) when it encounters resistance.

• Drill/Driver: Applies torque and has a clutch to prevent over-tightening. Used for screws and drilling.
• Impact Driver: Applies impacts on a small scale, usually for driving long screws.
• Impact Wrench: Applies massive, sustained impacts. Used almost exclusively for large nuts and bolts.
