Availability: InStock

Question 1

Is the AliExpress version really the same product?

Accepted Answer

No. The Makita DTW700 and the Milwaukee M18 3/4in are different tools from different brands. The Makita is a 1/2in drive with approximately 700 Nm of torque; the Milwaukee is a 3/4in drive rated around 1,356 Nm. They are not interchangeable for high-torque applications or within each other's battery ecosystems.

Question 2

How long does shipping take?

Accepted Answer

For a power tool shipped from China, expect 30–45 days via AliExpress Standard Shipping. If the seller ships from an EU or US warehouse, delivery can be 8–15 business days, but confirm the warehouse location on the listing before purchasing. Tracking updates can be sparse for the first week after dispatch.

Question 3

What if it arrives damaged or doesn't work?

Accepted Answer

AliExpress buyer protection covers most orders for up to 90 days — open a dispute with photo or video evidence of the defect before that window closes. Unlike purchasing from an authorised Makita dealer, there is no manufacturer warranty card process through AliExpress. Keep all packaging until the tool is fully tested.

Question 4

What's the battery platform? Is it cross-compatible with my existing batteries?

Accepted Answer

The Makita DTW700 uses the Makita 18V LXT slide-type battery platform. These batteries are not compatible with Milwaukee M18, DeWalt 20V MAX, or other brands. The listing is sold as a bare tool (no battery), so factor in the cost of at least one 18V LXT battery — typically $60–$120 — when comparing total purchase price.

Question 5

What torque does the Makita DTW700 actually deliver compared to the Milwaukee M18 3/4in?

Accepted Answer

The DTW700 is rated at approximately 700 Nm of maximum fastening torque. The Milwaukee M18 3/4in impact wrench is typically rated around 1,356 Nm — nearly double. For automotive wheel nuts on passenger cars, 700 Nm is generally sufficient; for heavy truck lugs, structural bolts, or industrial fasteners, the lower torque rating may be a limiting factor.
