Need 1/2 18V Makita impact, which one?

And I only have a pancake construction compressor and already have 18v makita's that I like, so that's why I'm looking at there bran.
If you already have the batteries, then it makes sense sticking with that brand for the Impact gun. Since my Mac was made by Dewalt, the batteries and chargers are interchangeable. I told my wife to stick with Dewalt products if she gets me something for work since I already have four batteries and two chargers.

The Makita is a pretty good impact and have been impressed with it so far.

I've used Dewalt, Porter Cable, Panasonic and a few No Name brands. I settled on Makita 18 volt LXT. I love the weight, balance and power of these and use them almost daily.

Wife and In-Laws started buying me Worx brand cordless tools for Christmas and they have been indestructible also.

Looking for a makita 1/2 impact like the ones seen below. Which one these do you guys like?
Makita XWT08XVZ 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless High Torque 1/2" Sq. Drive Utility Impact Wrench
Brand Makita
Item Dimensions LxWxH 4 x 10.4 x 10.3 inches
Material Alloy Steel
Head Style Fixed Square, Hex
Item Torque 740 Inch Pounds
I have that model and like it a lot. I bought it in April 2019.
I also have model XWT02 which has 210 ft. lb.
If you need 740/1180 ft.lb. of torque on a regular bases, buy it. It is a great gun.

But keep in mind it is VERY heavy. With a 3 AH. battery it is 7.9 pounds. I seldom use mine because of that.

My XWT02 is my go to choice. With a 3 AH. battery it is 3.8 pounds.
