All About Makita Nut Runners

The wrench is an irreplaceable assistant in solving many household tasks. Among all the demanded manufacturers of tools, the products of the Japanese brand Makita occupy a special place.

Makita has become a symbol of quality and reliable equipment used for solving construction problems and not only. The manufacturer carefully develops each offered model and tries to bring it to perfection.

18 Volt wrenches from this manufacturer are distinguished not only by reliability, but also by ergonomics, as well as affordable cost. The construction uses the highest quality parts. It is a highly efficient technique with rich functionality. There are both household, low-power tools and professional equipment on sale.

There are nutrunners that work autonomously from the battery, and network, that is, using electricity from the network.

Electric wrenches operate from a standard network, for this, a long wire is provided in their design. If it is not enough, it is possible to connect an extension cable.

Such a Makita tool can be:

• shock;
• unstressed.

The impact wrench has a distinctive feature - higher torque. Its main field of application is the execution of tasks where maximum shaft power is required. Such models do an excellent job with large fasteners. They are equipped with a reverse, through which even a rusty nut can be unscrewed.

Unlike an electric tool, such a tool, as a rule, is smaller in size and does not depend at all on the network. It is best used where there is no way to connect to a power source. This tool has both advantages and disadvantages.

Autonomy is the main thing for which a battery-powered wrench is appreciated. The performance of the unit depends on the model and type of battery. The more expensive ones come on sale with the ability to change the battery right on site, which allows you to get the most out of the tool.

When it comes to the performance of cordless impact wrenches, they have much less torque than electric ones, so they lag behind in tightening force. Due to the battery, the weight of this design is greater, so it can be inconvenient to work at a height where you have to use one hand.

Such an instrument can also be percussive and unstressed. The hammer is designed with special hammers, which are necessary to increase the torque to the permissible maximum. A wrench of this type is extremely necessary when working with outdated nuts that are stuck to the surface and do not unscrew. Unstressed are used where caution is needed.

If you have to work in a hard-to-reach place, then specialized Makita corner models are used.... This unit is distinguished by a special design and a narrow scope of use.

The Japanese manufacturer puts on the market nutrunners with a long service life and decent performance.Among the large assortment of models, I would like to highlight several that are more worthy of the user's attention than others.

Ideal for small diameter nuts from M5 to M12. Its design provides a shortened body, due to which better access to the small grooves and even the holes that are hidden is provided.

The manufacturer installed a hexagon-shaped head on the tool, which significantly expanded the scope of the nutrunner. With the appropriate bit, it can be used as a screwdriver.

Among the advantages of the model, it is worth highlighting the presence of a rubber pad on the handle, the presence of a reverse and the ability to adjust the speed. The set comes immediately with an additional battery. There is also a clip for hanging on the user's belt. From the technical characteristics: the weight of the structure is 1.2 kg, the rotation speed of the shaft is 2600 rpm.

Of the minuses - the cost, since such a unit costs 9,600 rubles, and a small battery capacity, only 2 A * h.

Great for loosening nuts in tricky places where there is no way to connect to a power source. The torque force is 1050 Nm, and this is despite the fact that the unit is powered by a battery with a capacity of 5 A * h.

The tool can work for a long time without charging, the design is a brushless motor, which allowed the manufacturer to save on consumables.

The advantages of the model are not only durability, but also the presence of backlighting, and the ability to adjust the speed of the shaft. On the described impact wrench, you can select the number of blows, for this there are three modes. The length of the structure is only 22.9 centimeters, and the unit comes with a charger and an additional battery.

As in the previous case, the disadvantage of the nutrunner is its high cost. Such a professional tool costs 41 thousand rubles.

Of the models that operate on the network, several must be distinguished.

Makita TW 0350 - is one of the most popular models among the consumer, since it has a well-thought-out body that correctly distributes the weight of the product. Thanks to this, the wrench can be easily held with one hand, despite the fact that the weight of the structure is 2.9 kg.

The kit includes an M24 socket head, which is often used when working with a nutrunner. The gearbox housing and it itself are made entirely of metal, on the front there is a rubberized tab.

The nozzle uses a square shaft, which, in turn, prevents the tooling from falling out during operation. There is air cooling, it allows the tool to work for a long time without overheating. The number of beats per minute is 2000, the size of the body is 28.3 cm long.

The disadvantage is the limited range of the miter head, since only sizes from M12 to M24 can be used.

Makita 6906 - ideal for screeding channels and corners. The unit has an increased power, which is 850 watts. This figure is almost double that of other models.

There is an additional handle in the kit, it can be placed on either side of the case, which adds convenience to the user during the operation of the nutrunner. There are additional holes on the back of the case, through which the brushes are changed in a minute.

Among the advantages of the presented model are an all-metal body and a rubber cone on the front, which does not allow the tool to hit the surface. The wrench makes 1700 revolutions per minute. The wire has double insulation, which protects it from breaks or cuts.

Among the disadvantages is the short service life of the brushes, only six months, and the impressive price of 33,000 rubles.In addition, the structure weighs a lot - 5 kg.
