The Makita DTW1001Z Impact Wrench is cordless, meaning you can use it without having to plug it in, and also manoeuvre it freely. It takes an 18V lithium-ion LXT battery which is sold separately. You might already have a suitable from another Makita tool. Two features of interest are its electric brake which quickly stops the tool when the trigger is released, and its twin LED illumination.
