The Makita XLT02 was the kit version of the XLT02Z 3/8 in. angle impact wrench, bundled with two BL1830 3.0Ah batteries and a DC18RC Rapid Optimum Charger. This kit has been discontinued. The XLT02Z tool-only remains available as a current product. Pair it with any 18V LXT batteries to replicate the original kit.
Is the XLT02 kit still available?
The XLT02 kit has been discontinued by Makita. The XLT02Z tool-only remains a current active product. Purchase the tool-only and add 18V LXT batteries and a charger you already own.
What tool is inside the XLT02 kit?
The XLT02 contains the XLT02Z 3/8 in. square-drive angle impact wrench — the same tool still sold today. It delivers 44 ft.lbs. max torque and 3,000 IPM via a right-angle head.
What batteries came with the XLT02?
The XLT02 shipped with two BL1830 3.0Ah batteries. The current equivalent is the BL1830B, an updated 3.0Ah pack with Star protection circuit. Any 18V LXT Star-symbol battery is compatible.
What is the angle wrench good for?
The 3/8 in. angle impact wrench is a specialty tool for fastening in tight spaces — HVAC equipment, mechanical rooms, automotive work, and anywhere access is at 90 degrees to the fastener. For standard bolt work, a conventional impact wrench is more practical.
How does the XLT02 compare to the XLT01?
The XLT02 kit contains the 3/8 in. square-drive angle impact wrench (XLT02Z) for socket-drive bolt work; the XLT01 kit contains the 1/4 in. hex angle impact driver (XLT01Z) for screwdriver-bit driving. Both kits are discontinued, but both tool-only versions remain available.
What is a good alternative to the discontinued XLT02 kit?
The XLT02Z tool-only is the current equivalent. Bundle it with a BL1850B 5.0Ah battery and a DC18RC charger for a complete setup, or pick up a Makita 18V LXT starter kit and add the XLT02Z separately.
