What happens here

Makita unveils a new line of compact and mid-torque impact wrenches (XWT14 and XWT15), available in both hog ring and detent versions. These tools deliver up to 240 ft-lbs of fastening torque (an increase from previous models) and 738 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque in reverse, making them the strongest in their class. New auto-stop features are highlighted: Auto-stop Forward (stops on the first impact for precision) and Auto-stop Reverse (stops after loosening to prevent dropping the nut). The design also features a 'floating handle' to dampen vibrations away from internal components, extending tool life and preventing handle cracking, which is a common issue with competitors.

Goal: Introduce Makita's powerful new impact wrenches with advanced auto-stop features and an innovative vibration-dampening handle design
