Makita BTW253Z BEAST!

This is the best tool I own for working on my car hands down. Takes off all bolts! Its a beast!!

Makita BTW253Z Great product as always

Makita BTW253Z Great product as always.
First off let me say that I wished makita would have come out w this gun sooner. It would have saved me $200 from buying my snap-on gun. I've used makita electric gun before and loved it. Never would have traded it in for a snap on gun if makita would have designed a better way to attach the battery on my 14.4v gun. But I digress, so far this gun is waaaaay lighter, more compact and stronger than my snap on gun. What more could u ask for? I know there are some reviewer that says its not as strong as the air gun but hey who's planning on taking crank pulley bolts off? Use the right tool for the job and get it done more efficiently. Look at the tool box of professional mechanics these days and u will see an electric gun in there somewhere. I now use this gun 90% of the time while I'm at work turning wrenches. Why deal w the hassle of dragging air hoses around?

Makita BTW253Z Nice quality and performance

Makita BTW253Z Nice quality and performance. Good for car wheel nuts at 80 lb/ft.
I use this at the track to change wheels on my car. The wheel nuts are torqued to 80 lb/ft. The tool breaks them loose fine after about 2 seconds. Quality of the makita tools are really nice, better than the Dewalt tools I also own. Love the LED. I don't like the size of the makita charging station and mine is already making an awful sound while charging (the fan I believe.

Makita BTW253Z Reviews

Makita BTW253Z Excellent product
Excellent product, I use this instead of an air impact when working on my motorcycles. Saves the noise of the compressor as well as the electricity. Very rarely do I have to bring out the 1/2 drive impact. 

Makita BTW253Z absolultely love this impact.
well ive had this for about a year now. i absolutely love it. definitely is not a replacement for a high torque air impact wrench. but will definitely get most jobs done. takes care of most everything under the hood except for head bolts or crank pulley bolts and the like, nor will it break loose a properly torqued lug nut. 90 percent of the work that i do, this impact definitely does the job. 


Makita BTW253Z Reviews
This impact is useful in small spaces and powerful enough to do the job around here that we need. It is not so heavy that the guys find using it a pain.
