Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Shear Wrench Kit (5.0Ah)

Description

High atop windy skyscraper steel erection decks, the Makita XTW01PT Cordless Shear Wrench Kit torques structural bolts without drag from heavy generator cords. This 36-volt tool tightens 3/4-inch and 7/8-inch tension-control structural bolts to code torque. It shears splines clean. The dual-battery configuration adds carry weight during iron climbs.

A cast aluminum gear housing encases the heavy-duty planetary gear reduction system, mounted to an impact-resistant polymer motor body. Two 18-volt LXT batteries deliver thirty-six volts to a brushless DC motor, drawing twenty-four full-load amps under peak torque. The wrench delivers six hundred two foot-pounds of tightening torque at fourteen RPM. Tool weight registers at 15.7 lbs with two 5.0Ah batteries, measuring 12-5/8 inches long.

Key Features of Makita XTW01PT

Structural ironworkers buy Makita XTW01PT kits to bolt building frames without hauling heavy air hoses and generators up steel columns. Professional shear wrench pricing delivers cordless structural bolting speed that engineering inspectors verify on high-rise iron connections.

• Thirty-six-volt brushless motor generates six hundred two foot-pounds of torque for structural bolts.
• Dual socket design grips nuts while holding bolt splines stationary until shear point.
• Automatic bolt tip ejector lever kicks sheared splines out of inner sockets in one motion.
• Planetary gear mechanism eliminates torque reaction transfer into ironworker wrists and arms.
• Dual battery fuel gauges display remaining charge on each 18V pack before climbing iron.
• Metal tool bumper protects the front gear snout from rough structural girder collisions.
• Electric motor brake stops socket rotation the instant the spline snaps clean.

Structural Tension Bench Calibration Metrics

Skidmore-Wilhelm tension calibrator tests confirm consistent bolt tension within three percent of required structural specs on 7/8-inch A325 and A490 bolts. Bolt splines shear clean without galling nut threads or twisting bolt shanks. Cycle duration averages 4.2 seconds per bolt under full torque build. Motor housing temperature rises twenty-six degrees Fahrenheit across twenty-five continuous bolting cycles. Internal planetary gear teeth exhibit zero backlash increase after five thousand simulated structural bolt installations without gear lubrication breakdown.

Ironworker Handling Scheduled Maintenance Rules

The balanced D-handle gives ironworkers solid two-handed control when leaning out over girder flanges. The forward tip ejector lever trips with gloved thumbs. However, do not purchase this shear wrench for standard hexagonal bolts, anchor bolts lacking torque splines, or light automotive repair work.

• Clean sheared bolt spline chips out of the inner socket sleeve after every shift.
• Inspect socket drive pins once a week for signs of wear or metal burrs.
• Blow out motor vents once a month using clean dry compressed shop air.
