Makita DTL300 18V LXT Cordless Right Angle Impact Wrench, 340 Nm, 1/2", Body Only

The Makita DTL300 18V LXT cordless right angle impact wrench is a powerful, compact fastening tool designed for automotive repair, machinery maintenance and mechanical installation in confined spaces. Equipped with a brushless motor, a maximum fastening torque of 340 Nm and a 1/2" (12.7 mm) square drive, it combines high torque with excellent manoeuvrability.

The angled head and slim grip provide convenient access to fasteners around engines, machinery and other tightly spaced components. With a maximum nut-busting torque of 530 Nm, the Makita DTL300 is also suitable for loosening stubborn or corroded fasteners within the tool's intended operating limits.

Powerful Brushless Motor and Impact Mechanism

The brushless motor provides efficient power delivery without requiring carbon brush replacement.

An enhanced impact mechanism with increased rotational inertia generates high fastening and loosening torque, making the tool practical for demanding maintenance and repair applications.

The DTL300 delivers up to 340 Nm fastening torque and a specified 530 Nm maximum loosening torque.

Compact Right Angle Design for Confined Spaces

The compact angled head and reduced grip diameter help users reach fasteners in areas where conventional impact wrenches may be difficult to position.

The tool is particularly convenient for work inside engine compartments, around densely arranged machinery components and in restricted installation areas.

Its balanced design positions the centre of gravity near the trigger, helping reduce hand fatigue during prolonged operation.

1/2" Square Drive with C-Ring

The 12.7 mm (1/2") square drive uses a C-ring socket retention system to help secure compatible impact sockets during fastening and loosening.

The specified fastening capacities are:

• Standard bolts: M10–M20.
• High-tensile bolts: M10–M16.

Use suitable impact-rated sockets and accessories. For connections requiring a specified final tightening torque, verify the result with a calibrated torque wrench.

Three Speed Settings and Automatic Impact Stop

The DTL300 provides three no-load speed ranges:

• 0–1,000 rpm.
• 0–1,500 rpm.
• 0–3,200 rpm.

The corresponding impact rates are 0–1,800, 0–2,800 and 0–4,000 impacts per minute.

A variable-speed control allows the operator to adapt tool speed to the fastening task.

The automatic impact-stop function operates in both forward and reverse rotation, supporting greater control during repetitive fastening and loosening operations.

Three-Level LED Work Light

The integrated LED work light, positioned below the angled head, illuminates the fastening area.

Three selectable brightness levels allow the user to adjust lighting to the surrounding conditions. Brightness can be changed by holding down the mode-selection button.

XPT Protection and Ergonomic Handling

The eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT) is designed to improve resistance to dust and water ingress in demanding working environments.

The slide-in battery configuration provides a slim grip and balanced handling, supporting comfortable operation at different working angles, including overhead tasks.

With a tool weight of 1.5 kg without a battery and dimensions of 414 × 80 × 92 mm, the DTL300 combines an elongated angled construction with manageable weight.

18V LXT Battery Platform – Body Only

The Makita DTL300 operates on the Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion battery system.

This is a body-only version without a battery. A compatible 18V LXT battery and charger are required for operation.

Applications & Usage

The Makita DTL300 cordless right angle impact wrench is intended for professional bolt fastening, loosening and mechanical maintenance, especially where access is limited.

Automotive repair: Suitable for accessing and working with compatible threaded fasteners in engine compartments and other restricted vehicle areas.

Agricultural machinery maintenance: The high loosening torque helps with suitable stubborn or corroded bolts during equipment servicing.

Industrial machinery maintenance: The angled head supports fastening work around tightly arranged mechanical components.

Mechanical installation: Practical for tightening and removing suitable bolts and nuts in compact assemblies.

Overhead work: The slim grip and balanced configuration support handling at different working angles.

Use compatible impact sockets and select the operating mode according to the fastener. Always check final tightening torque where a specified torque is required.
