If you're already invested in Makita's 18V battery system, this brushless impact driver is the perfect backup or upgrade—without the steep price tag.

It's a tool-only unit, so you just pop on your existing Makita 18V battery and charger and you're ready to roll.

No need to buy into a whole new platform or pay for batteries you already have.

This thing packs a serious punch: 2,800 in-lbs of torque, with a no-load speed up to 3,800 RPM and 4,200 impacts per minute.

That means it'll blast through lag bolts, deck screws, and stubborn automotive fasteners without breaking a sweat.

The brushless motor is more efficient and runs cooler than brushed versions, so you get longer runtime per charge.

What really sets it apart is the 5-speed dial.

You can dial it down to Precision Mode for delicate jobs like electronics assembly or furniture, or crank it to Turbo for heavy-duty framing and repairs.

There's also a magnetic bit holder right on the front—super handy so you don't lose your bit between swaps.

The 1/4-inch hex chuck makes bit changes a one-handed snap.

Plus, it's compact—about 15% smaller than many competitors—and weighs 25% less, so your arm won't be screaming after a full day of overhead work.

Built-in LED light, overload protection, and an IP54 dust/splash rating make it legit for jobsite use.
