Makita DFL404FZ 18V LXT Brushless 3/8″ Angle Wrench 20-40 N.m – Tool Only

The Makita DFL404FZ 18V LXT Brushless 3/8″ Angle Wrench is a high-precision fastening tool engineered for assembly lines, production environments, and industrial applications where accuracy and repeatability are essential. Powered by Makita’s 18V LXT lithium-ion battery system (sold separately), this angle wrench offers an expanded speed range (50-310 RPM) and torque output (20-40 Nm) for increased versatility compared to previous models. The programmable speed control, accessible via USB, allows users to fine-tune settings for hard and soft joints, optimizing productivity and precision. The twin LED job light with preglow and afterglow functions improves visibility, while the ring-shaped indicator lamp provides clear feedback on fastening status. Designed with a compact profile and improved internal components, this tool enhances maneuverability while maintaining durability with a non-contact Hall sensor clutch detection system. Additionally, the auto battery shut-off system prevents torque inaccuracies by stopping the tool when battery power is insufficient.
