The brand is synonymous to quality. A Makita impact wrench can cost double to triple of a competitive tool but since its target market are professionals in their trades; the price is negligible as quality is the issue here.

The Makita Corporation started out as the Makita Electric Company as a service repair shop for electric tools and equipment. After World War II, the company was prodded by no less than the president of Japan to branch out in the manufacture of electric power tools. The year was 1945 and since then, the company has been unstoppable in its growth. Makita is a brand to contend with when referring to power tools.

Though the company’s mission is to provide quality powered tools targeted to professionals users, the high quality tools are enjoying a significant percentage of its sale from the regular do-it-yourself market.

In 1978, Makita introduced to the market its first cordless drill. Though the technology was slow to catch on as the cordless gives less torque, heavy, expensive and has a limited time of operation. From then on, the cordless technology has been improved a hundred times fold that a cordless Makita impact wrench may be the most sought- after cordless impact wrench. The top cordless Makita impact wrench is Makita BTW450 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2-Inch High Torque Impact Wrench Kit. The kit comes in a handy bag and an extra lithium battery.

Today, a cordless Makita impact wrench is a staple in most tool chests.
