The Makita WT001GZ 40Vmax XGT Cordless Brushless Shear Wrench is a next-generation tool built for high-strength steel construction and industrial bolting applications. Running on Makita’s advanced 40Vmax XGT battery platform, this cordless shear wrench delivers 804 Nm (593 ft-lbs) of fastening torque, while weighing up to 20% less than previous 18V X2 models—making it ideal for overhead bolting under beams, in field steel assembly, or in confined job site conditions. With the ability to fasten approximately 250 M22 torque shear bolts on a single BL4040 battery (sold separately), it’s engineered for productivity in high-output environments.
Designed to handle HTB, SHTB, A325, and A490 shear bolts, the WT001GZ offers true versatility for structural connections, including M16, M20, and M22 sizes, with no sacrifice in strength. A bolt-tip ejection lever ensures fast removal of sheared tips, helping crews stay productive with fewer interruptions. The unit features eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT™) to safeguard against dust and moisture, making it a job site-ready tool for demanding outdoor and fabrication work.
