![ALL NEW! Makita XWT17 Mid-Torque Impact Wrench Review [740 ft-lbs]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vjcprWlG18I/mqdefault.jpg)
Raffle winner will be announced 12/13/19
.
The S stands for slow speed. The H stands for high speed. Also it's a 3 speed impact driver on that tool. To get the most out of that impact wrench you need a 3.0 battery or higher. 👌 it makes all the difference in that tool. Any impact wrench should have the bigger batteries. Mine came with 3.0 amp hour batteries. 👌 I have the impact driver and impact wrench kit. Same charger but better batteries came with mine. Same tool bag also. 👌
ill learn it lol
Mine came with a 4.0ah battery 👍🏽
Your tool collection is growing like crazy! I had my eye on that Makita for awhile. It just started popping up in my Depot.
Thank you ver much
Great video as always. Did you know Makita is the only tool company that owns & makes it's own tools?!! I am sure they contract out many parts made for their tools, but unlike all other makers, they are solely Self Owned & Operated!! No "Parent" company. I research Everything! Lol
They are made in China, just like Milwaukee, Dewalt, etc, but they are definitely great tools. And makita is right up there with Milwaukee quality. Better deals on the makita stuff. 👌 I've been buying a lot of makita cordless tools the past few months . And I'm happy with all of them so far.
I need to do the same lol
The center of a log or tree is usually the most dense.
yes sir. I fear the impact isn't that powerful
I was a Ryobi guy for decades, than I bought a Makita impact driver love it so that the only Ryobi tool I kept was the hybrid square light. But than again I never had a brushless Ryobi tool..
The Brushless tools are way more powerful than the old Ryobi and thank you
That Makita isn't mid-range. It's a compact class impact wrench. Makita doesn't have a mid-range yet, and it's kind of annoying that they're taking so long to make one.
The Makita XWT11 is meant to compete against Dewalt 890/880 and Milwaukee 2755-20. Also, Mid-range wrenches weigh ~5-5.5 lbs with battery. The XWT11/2755-20/890 are in the range of ~3.5-3.8 lbs with a 5.0.
Yeah but the makita 18v best impact wrench has 750 ft pounds of torque. That's one of the best ones they make right now. It's around $250-$270 in different stores, but comes with 2 5.0 batteries in the kit. 👌 been waiting for it to go a bit lower on price then I'll get it.
I plan on buying that
im sorry if I miss informed you sir
That is not the mid range that's the compact impact the mid range is about the size of the DeWalt and also worth noting that's those impacts are more powerful in reverse.
this is the low range impact wrench
I feel this is more specifically geared for peripheral automotive stuff, to rapidly take lug nuts off cars and trucks and other lighter things. It just has to loosen nuts with such and such torque after which there isn’t any load anymore so it rapidly spins it off. Totally different from driving lags into wood. And I’m not sure if it should be called mid-torque. Seems mid-torque these days beings around 500ftlbs and this is less than half of that. Doesn’t make it a bad tool at all, I just think it was built for a very specific purpose and testing it in ways outside of its intended use just may not get flattering results.
I agree. since it doesn't have the power it looks like it has.
This impact wrench is designed for scaffolders small light and the H setting with one light is for when your stripping the nuts won't get wound off the scaffold. 👍
That kit is now $149 at HD. Great deal. I'm diggin your channel. Thx for all you do.
Actually you can get the impact driver and impact wrench for $150.00 but the impact wrench in the 2 tool kit with 2-3.0 Amp hour batteries is not the same one in his video. 👌 it has different functions on the 2 tool kit one. I have the 2 tool kit, I got it last week at Home Depot. 👌
@@jasonlevesque9303 Yep, I seen that kit, very tempting. I was just referring to this specific kit that was $199 on black Friday. Either way good deal on both.👍
Thank you ver much
im buying that kit tomorrow
I have that same exact impact wrench. The feature you are confused about is when you are loosening fasteners. When the impact wrench senses the fastener loose, it'll automatically stop. Great for lug nuts.
very good and thank you
@@ManCaverTools You're very welcome! Been using that impact for a while, definitely want a 3+ AH battery. Great at taking axle nuts off. Now if you want some power, the XWT08 is a good choice.
Home depot has done a price reduction on this set. It's now on sale for 149
Yes they did. I got $50 back and thank you
I'm glad that you are opening up and doing other things so that we can come to this channel for more info.
that is the plan
I just bought the same 1/2 Makita Clone from China for $25. Barely ever need a 1/2, just bought it to spin some lug nuts here and there and since it fits the Makita batts, what the hell, I'll give it a try.
sounds like a plan
I would like to see a vs video with the ridgid impact.
those videos are coming up
When my Ryobi nicad batteries died. I thought about switching to makita since I needed new batteries anyway.
I did not make the switch because of how little real estate makita gets in hole depot. They have a huge line. I think it’s bigger then Ryobi’s and definitely crazier. Makita has an ebike and 2 coffee makers (might be down to just one now). But you can only buy like 15 tools at Home Depot from the makita line.
I went with the Ryobi cause I liked seeing all their tools out. And they had committed to the stem battery pack design. So I wouldn’t be starting from 0 again.
Also I like how you number your videos. Keep up the great work!!
Im fallin in love with the Makita, but Ryobi still is #1 and thank you sir. the numbers help me keep track of the videos lol
I’ve heard people say this is just the regular impact driver with a 1/2 chuck.
Edit: just watched your hart vs Ryobi vid and the hart sunk the 5in lag in like 25 secs and this makita took 35 secs on the 6 incher which kinda confirms my suspicion 🤷♂️
im hoping its not, but we will see with a bigger battery
I'm pretty sure my 1/4 Makita brushless impact is better than this. You should compare that to the 1/4 brushless Makita if you have one.
I'm really loving my Makita stuff my collection is growing and just saying you should check out Makita's radios sometime it's awesome they make some pretty sick radios! And I still do have some of my ryobi stuff. Congratulations on 5000 subscribers David! I started watching your channel and subscribed last December 2018 you've come a long way in just one year congrats 👏
im starting to love Makita and Thank you ver much
By the way an impact wrench isn't s impact driver so the rpm are slower because your'e doing bolts on cars etc.
But the torque can be set way higher.
I know, but it thank you for viewng Montalbano
@@ManCaverTools No problem.
From the guy who lives in the European power tool heaven. Where the headquarters of Fein,Mafell,Festool,Hilti,Metabo and Bosch are all within a radius of 160 miles.
With Mercedes and Porsche added to the mix it they don't do power tools.
And I love my Makita anyway after Bosch decided to build lower grade tools their green line. I destroyed two cordless power drills of the green junk within two weeks.
Can’t have to many tools!
Happy for your 5k mark, looking forward to the next 5k. Be here before you know it!
Thank you ver much
My father always told me son you can never have enough tools no matter what anybody says 😁😁😁
from personal use of Makita tools I can say there ergonomics are next to none.
Makita and Ryobi have me favorite handles.
Read up on that manual I wanna know how the setting works...just bought a makita 6 tool set brushless amazon 399...5 brushless not including the light...could use more battery with that 50$ merry Christmas 🎄
Lawrence Sanchez I’m doing research right now. I’m also going to do some tests if the slower speeds have more power.
The Ryobi wrench is working good for me still. Just dont put a 9ah. I
Super heavy..hahah
glad it is working out for you and thank you
That makita impact looks awesome.
I love it
my dad has a makita drill, impact driver, and light and he uses the heck out of them, he has an old blue ryobi hammer drill and reciprocating saw he never uses. I'd love to see a Makita vs Ridgid vs Ryobi
those versus videos are coming up
Using a 2.0 amp hour battery will never yield potential torque output from the tool. To get a more fair accurate test use a 5.0 amp battery.
YES it does. I made a video on it and it proved it through many brands.th-cam.com/video/ABTuTCA65h4/w-d-xo.html
She’ll rip with a 4+ah battery. Still not as much bang as the Milwaukee’s. But has a smooth response and feedback along with great ergonomics. I like my makitas
Hey that kit is 149 now at my Home Depot. You might want to see if you can get a The difference.
I did that this morning and thank you
Watching from Philippines. Looking for a good impact wrench and not that pricey for my first cordless impact wrench. 💯
the Ryobi impact wrench is a good one to do for a good price
Congrats on the 5k subscribers!! I really like that impact wrench I may start diving into makita.
thank you sir almost at 5,200
Know of any deals coming on the Ryobi P325 16 guage finish nailer. It is $179 at my Home Depot. The 18 guage brad nailer is $99. Just seems a bit high on the P325? I did see the P325 online for $189 with a battery (1.3 amp) and charger but I don’t need the battery & charger. Wonder if I could return just the battery & charger. Any advice would help. Thanks.
the deals that are out are pretty much it, there is a few random deals today but that's it and thank you
Holy s*** Bro 5000 congratulations
yes sir. almost at 5,100 now and Thank you ver much
I use mainly makita I kept breaking my ryobi stuff. but I still use the ryobi narrow crown stapler it's a beast. and the dust blower
very good and thank you sir
I have the 1/4 impact and sawzall and I love them both
I can't wait to get more Makita tools
Got this impact and love it. My apologies I thought it was the driver. Love the driver. I'm sure the wrench is great as well.
Thank you very much
Looks like a nice little impact wrench. I’m looking for the best deal on the Makita xph07 hammer drill.
it is a nice one and thank you
ive used them all and makita is super durable
What's the model number? Why not put it in the description?
did I say the model # in the video?
Congrats on 5k subscribers
Thank you ver much
Congrats on 5k, been watching since you had about 90 subs.👍🏼
Thank you ver much
Putting a bigger battery in there isn’t gonna give you more power. It just means more run time.
that is false sir. that is why they make different type of batteries among most brands. Fuel, Flex and HP
High has the most power duhhh. You turn it down for delicate work or just dont throttle it as much. That 3 speed thing is not necessary as far as im concerned since there is a variable throttle. Dude amp hours has nothing to do power. It means run time.
More AH you have the more the power can be retained from the battery. Because more cells are being used to do a single task which lets the tool use more of the power that is already in the battery. if you drive in a 5" lag with a 1.3 ah battery the cells would be majorly stressed out and will have a tough time to do the job. If you have a 5ah battery the tool will use the power it already has easier with less stress on the cells. So it will do the 5" lag faster than the 1.3 ah battery.18v is 18v. Even though its only ding 1 Lag screw. so duration has nothing to do with 1 screw. More cells you have the better the tool will perform withe the power it already has.
Thanks for the channel, David. We're not far apart so if I ever need a tool I don't have for a one off repair I know who to ask. Haha. Could even record it for the channel. Lol.
lol sounds like a plan
Have you donee a vid on the Royobi batteries and the chargers I have a small on and I am wondering what one or type I need I bought the two battery Black Friday deal with the free tool to get into the platform and want to buy the caulk gun at some point. I see there are many different Charger choices I want a bigger one that sets on the counter. I got into the Royobi for cost of tools and range of tools
the new small one is a fast charger.
Just let me start by saying congrats mate on 5k subs I came in when you only had 300 + so let's get down to it another giveaway but only to your ppl in the U S come on dave what about the uk ppl👍🇬🇧
im having 2 giveaways this month. :) Christmas
Wow those are rare for sure, love that thing
I love it too
Love your videos! Good stuff. I am a Ryobi fan. I am one of the few. They have a solid platform. Great video! Thanks again!
I love Ryobi as well. Ryobi will always be my #1
That's good. Ryobi is good. You are one of the few. I like Hilti. Hilti is high quality.
That makita ain't a mid torque it's only 210ft.lbs fastening just like the milwaukee m18 2754 has 210 ft.lbs fastening.that dewalt you showed is a mid torque it's got 330 ft.lbs fastening and around 650 ft.lbs nut busting.
DEL RIO thank you sir. Then does Makita have a mi md range impact?
@@ManCaverToolsNot that I know of, they've got brushed and brushless high torque one's though.
Can you tell us about the charger. Is there anything special about it...like a fan, usb port etc.
I will in the video for tomorrow's Makita unboxing video :)
Congratulations keep doing what you are doing
Thank you ver much
Love the vids and I love the vast tool collection that is always growing I also love the set up

Just subscribed!! These videos are great man super informational
I thank you sir
What’s your favorite tool brand for power and versatility not being bias
im not going to lie, im really liking the Makita, but Ryobi is my main tool line since all of the variety of tools I have with the one+ system
Amazon just had one of their crazy random price drops, so I got the bare tool for $130.
that is a good price and good job
Was it the DTW180ZB 18v LXT on Amazon for 130 $ I never seen any lower than 200 +tx
Nice video. Thanks
Thank you
Would love the 50 HD card....u going to get the m12 stubby or the m18 one?
fantastic
Why you keep pulling the trigger with nothing in it,,is that supposed to be cool
because I like to lol
Happy to see the Makita!!!!
more are on the way
#1 fan here, keep up the good work
Thank you ver much
How much? And what is the warranty on this?
I got this for $150 at the time
Just got the same kit at Depot for $50
cant beat that deal and thank you Willy
4.0 Ah battery is when you see the real power!
Congrats on 5k subscribers!
Thank you ver much
Love the vids
thank you sir
@@ManCaverTools I am noah in ryobi rebels and you have me as a frind on Facebook
Good job bro keep up the great work
thank you very much
Coming out Makita 40v, Thanks sir! 👍
I can't wait fo them
I have subscribed to your channel,your channel is very good, thanks!👍💯✔️
never mentioned model # ?
There is no precision mode. Only “high” illuminated works in reverse and stops spinning as soon as the fastener is loose and free spinning. Oh yeah, it’s not a midrange impact either
I thought it was since dewalt had a mid range around the same size, but I am sorry if I am mistaken. im new to the electonic settings.
Ryobi Man Caver No worries, were all on here to learn and share information with each other
I think this is more of a compact impact wrench. Milwaukee, Dewalt, Metabo, Bosch and Kobalt etc make similar size impact wrenches
THANKS MON ~ GRATEFUL FOR THE INFORMATION.
you are welcome and thank you
How cool love all ur videos!!!!
Thank you ver much
Congrats on 5k
Thank you ver much
Liking the videos. Keep it up
thank you very much
Great video keep up the good work 👍
Thank you ver much
The 5ah or 6ah be best for this tool its a bit weak doing lags into wood
I will be getting bigger batteries soon and thank you
@@ManCaverTools cool they expensive the batteries like bigger batteries are better cause put out more amps from the better cells the 3ah only has 1500mah cells a think and 5ah has 2500mah cells 3000 in the 6ah
Totally wrong more amp "HOURS" only gives you more run time. The actuall amp draw is no different between large and small. A 2amphour has as much power as a 6 amphour but the 6 will run 3 times longer. Please know this if you are doing tool reviews.
This tool was originally made for scaffolding clamps.
Keep up the good work
Thank you
Hello from Alaska!
hello
I've used a bunch of makita tools but never owned any of them
this is my first and I love it
Awesome video!!!
Thank you ver much
The real question: how do you make enough money to buy them tools?
lol, Debt
Just the H illuminated is an auto stop mode that works in reverse.
S -H just means Soft - Hard. So you'll want all 3 bars to be lit up to use it purely on its maximum setting.
And yes I've found this is another beast when increasing the battery size, try a 5 or 6 ah on it and you'll definitely notice a difference man!
As others have said it, won't be fair putting it up against other mid range wrenches as this is a compact wrench.
Thank you sir. need to get used to Makita settings.
@@ManCaverTools may I suggest the owners manual? 😂
cool
I thank you Pink
Why on earth would you use a measly 2.0 Ah battery with only 5 cells in an impact wrench? No wonder it struggled with those bolts - you just choked the impact wrench with that battery. Next time use a 5.0 Ah battery then watch the difference. With 10 cells in the larger battery, the voltage drop wouldn’t be reduced as much.
it was a kit, I was testing out to see what it can do as a kit
I'm down for the 50$ gift certificate
sounds like a plan
Makita DF001DW 3.6V Lithium Ion 1/4" Cordless Screwdriver ;)
That 50 gift card is mine!
lol
Woo
I love this impact
Maby you need a higher ah battery
I am getting one so more tests are coiming
Why you keep on buying these tools? you have a whole wall of them..
for the channel
ohm good
I thank you for viewing
Again, its a wrench NOT a driver. Your not using it for its intended use. Just Saying...You do great reviews, but it helps to review tools for their intended useage...Nuts & Bolts NOT driving lags.
I know its an impact wrench, sometimes I say stuff wrong but still know what it us. I put these tools through some tuff tasks. that's what I do on this channel buy I thank you for viewing
@@ManCaverTools At the end if the day, you do great videos, great production etc...No way I could do what you do...and for that i'm grateful that you take the time to make these type videos. I just wanted to add my 2 cents. Keep up the great work bro!
I rarely comment but I have to say a NO at your channel. At first I was liking it and then it went down hill at the 13 minute mark. Anyways good luck on your channel.
thank you for viewing sir
