Makita dtd173zj 18v LXT Brushless Impact Driver

The Makita DTD173ZJ is an 18V LXT cordless impact driver delivering a maximum torque of 180 Nm, designed for demanding fastening applications. This compact and well-balanced tool features a brushless motor for enhanced efficiency and durability, with an unloaded speed range of 0 to 3,600 revolutions per minute. It offers four selectable power levels and multiple application modes that automatically adjust speed based on the task, such as driving self-tapping screws into thin or thick metal, wood screws, and tightening or loosening bolts. The rear control panel provides easy access to settings, including a function button for adjusting impact force or recalling the last used mode via the Quick Change memory feature. A ring-shaped LED light effectively illuminates the work area without casting shadows, and the XPT system provides protection against water and dust ingress. The tool incorporates an electric brake for increased productivity and user safety, along with a double-bearing anvil for stable bit rotation. Its slim housing design and optimal weight distribution promote a secure grip and reduce user fatigue during extended use. In light mode, the work light can be toggled by pulling the trigger while the forward/reverse selector is in neutral. Technical specifications include a 1/4-inch drive shaft, sound power level of 108 dB(A), and vibration level of 12.9 m/s² when fastening with the impact mechanism at maximum power. The product measures 111 x 81 x 234 mm, with a net weight of 0.85 kg and an operating weight of 1.2 to 1.5 kg when used with a battery. This model is supplied in a Makpac case II with an insert and requires a compatible 18V LXT lithium-ion battery and charger, sold separately. Fastening capacities include standard bolts from M5 to M16, machine screws from M4 to M8, and high-tensile bolts from M5 to M14.
