The Makita DTD173Z 18V LXT Brushless Impact Driver from ITS is a compact yet impressively powerful impact driver. Someone once said that all good things come in small packages – when going the specifications of the DTD173, you’d think they were talking about this. The slim design of the Makita impact driver lets you work in tight spaces and awkward locations, while the anti-wobbling structure of the bit holder ensures that, thanks to the two ball bearings in the anvil, driver bits stay true and straight for exceptional results. The four-speed and four power options on the DTD173 offer incredible flexibility working with a range of materials to ensure precise results without damaging the work piece. Along with variable speed control, the impact driver features an electric brake and bright build in job light for when working in shadows or darker locations. Thanks to the inclusion of the brushless motor, the Makita DTD173 Impact driver offers 4 speed modes up to 1100, 2100, 3200 and 3600 rpm. With four impact rate options up to 1100, 2600, 3600 and 3800 ipm, the device also offers a maximum torque level of up to 180Nm. At the heart of this tool is the brushless motor that allows you to use the tool efficiently. As part of the design, the tool utilizes every bit of battery power when you need, all while reducing the need for ongoing maintenance by reducing the amount of heat generated and working more efficiently. The technology in creating a brushless motor system allows for perfect symmetry between battery power and usage ensuring you get all the power you need, when you need it.
