The WR100DZ ratchet wrench
utilises Makita’s CXT Compact
eXtreme Technology (CXT),
making this an ultra-compact
and lightweight (1.0kg-1.2kg)
machine, suitable for extended
use. The inclusion of a LED job
light meant that the WR100DZ can
light up the project space and aid
working in restricted, dark spaces,
maximising productivity. The wrench
can be used across a number of
applications, including automotive,
manufacturing, building, HVAC and
fabrication.
For ease of operation, the WR100DZ
includes a variable speed trigger
to easily control the speed and a
trigger lock which prevents the
trigger from being accidentally
pulled, which also improves operator
safety by preventing the tool from
being accidentally turned on. The
locking position also enables
operation as a hand ratchet, when
the motor is not engaged, so the
operator can run-up the nut using
the machine without overtightening
and then add that final bit of tension
by hand.
The WR100DZ is supplied with two
socket adaptors (6.35mm square
drive and 9.5mm square drive), that
can be removed to convert the tool
into a pass-through ratchet wrench.
This is ideal for tightening 13mm
nuts onto long threaded bolts, such
as a threaded rod. The WR100DZ
also includes a reversing lever,
which ensures the tool can rotate
both clockwise and anticlockwise.
The WR100DZ is a 12Vmax machine
with a no-load speed of 0-800rpm
and maximum fastening torque of
47.5Nm. The tool produces vibration
of 2.5m/s2 and sound pressure level
of 74 dB(A).

Powerful cutting action – without a
cable The new AGC 18 cordless angle
grinder from Festool
Festool welcomes a new addition
to the 18-volt family: The new AGC
18 cordless angle grinder boasts a
durable design and perfect ergonomic
features for cutting work.
“With the new AGC 18, we are offering
a battery-operated powerhouse that
sets new standards both in terms
of durability and with its excellent
ergonomics. The new cordless angle
grinder is suitable for carpenters,
joiners and painters equally, as it
can be used to complete cutting
tasks and small sanding jobs on
construction sites without any
cables,” explains José Kunze, trained
carpenter and application specialist
at Festool. Clever detail: The compact
powerhouse fits into the Systainer
with the battery and sanding tool
76 - www.refurbandrestore.co.uk
fitted – so it takes no time at all
to pack and unpack. The lockable
spindle and quick-action clamping
nut easily ensure fast disc changes
while working without the need for
tools. The AGC 18 also impresses
with regard to ergonomics: The on/
off switch is ideally positioned for
cutting tasks – the entire device is
perfectly balanced. In addition, the
EC-TEC motor offers particularly
smooth operation and low vibrations.
To achieve this result, the motor and
housing have been disconnected.
The new cordless angle grinder will
be available at specialist retailers
from September 2019. Visit
