Makita has just introduced a new 3/8″ impact wrench as part of its 12V Max cordless tool lineup. The impact wrench (WT01) features a variable speed (0-2300RPM/0-3000 IPM) 1,000 in-lb maximum torque gearbox in a compact and relatively lightweight (2.1 lb) profile.
The impact wrench will be available as part of a kit by itself (WT01W) and a 3-piece combo (LCT309W) that includes a 3/8″ drill-driver (FD02) and LED flashlight (LM01).

So…..any comments on it? I’ve been looking for the best driver to use in an automotive setting and haven’t found one that does it all at a REASONABLE price point.
To be honest, I haven’t heard much good or bad about it. Just about all brands’ 12V impact wrenches are in the same class in terms of power and runtime, with no clear champion.
