Be careful with the Makita wrench if you are using it for wheel changing as many of the commercial impacts will strip the studs from the hub carriers set the torque as low as you can and use the gun to just nip the nuts and check by hand with a ratchet or a T bar. I would reccomend not using somthing as meaty as a 24v makita even for the nipping as even a quick nip can be too much for such a small stud into an alloy or mag carrier.
I have a Makita wrench but only use it for the clutch nut on a Rotax never anything else on the kart.
