Makita TD173DZ Impact Driver TD173DZB (Black) 18V 1/4" Brushless Tool Only
Product Description This cordless impact driver features a first-of-its-kind full-circle LED light, providing optimal balance, a slim all-around head, and comfortable operation. As of December 2022, Makita research shows that visibility during work is significantly improved, with 2.5 times more brightness compared to conventional 18V Makita devices. The LED light offers three levels of adjustable brightness (high, medium, low) and can also be used as a work light. In "light mode," it serves as a simple lighting solution with an illumination time of approximately one hour. Product Specification The impact driver features a new trigger switch that enables intuitive speed control from low to high speeds. The grip is close to the axis, making it easier to press and reducing cam-out. The battery is offset to the rear, optimizing the center of gravity and allowing for balanced tightening in all directions while minimizing interference with obstacles. The rear-positioned operation panel is easy to see and use, allowing mode changes and battery level checks without releasing the grip. With the industry's smallest bit wobble, the impact driver uses double ball bearings and a new bit sleeve with ribs on the edges to reduce damage to materials. According to Makita research in December 2022, the driver offers an excellent corner striking performance and reduced cam-out with a tilt angle of approximately 10.5°. It is also suitable for working close to walls. Choose the optimal mode for your task and use the mode memory function to register your most-used mode by pressing two buttons simultaneously. Switch between the previously used mode and the registered mode with a fingertip button. The impact driver uses a DC 18V slide-style Li-ion battery (battery and charger sold separately). Tightening capacities: small screws M4-M8, regular bolts M5-M16, high-strength bolts M5-M14, coarse thread 22-125mm. Maximum tightening torque: 180 N・m. Rotational speeds (rpm): fastest 0-3,600, high 0-3,200, medium 0-2,100, low 0-1,100. Easy mode rotational speeds (rpm): wood 0-1,800, bolt 0-3,600, thin metal sheet 0-2,900, thick metal sheet 0-3,600. Impact rates (bpm): fastest 0-3,800, high 0-3,600, medium 0-2,600, low 0-1,100. Easy mode impact rates (bpm): wood 0-3,800, bolt 0-3,800, thin metal sheet stops shortly after starting, thick metal sheet 0-2,600. One-charge work volume (wood screw, raw material lauan Φ4.3×65mm, approximate): about 960 pieces. Device dimensions: length 111mm, width 81mm, height 234mm. Weight: 1.5kg.

This is a very nicely made impact driver. The fine trigger control and the bright ring light are the stand out features. If I was buying again, I might pay extra and get the one with the case. If you are buying outside of Japan, done worry about the Japanese fitting for bits, it fits usa/uk standard impact driver bits as well and they work just fine. The ring light is very bright and means you don't always need a separate work light.

Great tool with deep japaneese thought to ergonomics and usefulness. Very useful idea of putting the tork/RPM shifter button next to trigger, eliminating use of the other hand to push the button. Complete LED light ring makes it shadowless unlike other tools. Light weight, different torque/RPM combinations makes this driver my best tool. AND - MADE IN JAPAN - speaks for itself. My another driver (also made in Japan) quit working after somebody borrowed it from me and accidentally dropped it on the concrete... I had it heavily used for 10+years!

Many years in construction I am a metal framer/ drywall mechanic. I would have to rate the Makita TD 172 D (mine is purple) as the best impact I have ever used thus far. Very happy with my new purchase. The price tag Is a bit hefty but hey if you have the extra money for good quality impact drill spend it! I recommend this drill to any contractor you will be thrilled to use it and very pleased with the performance! Perfect impact for light gage and heavy gage metal. I have the Makita xtd16 as well and has served me well for past 4 years. Thank you Makita!

Used the driver for 5 days after receiving. The impact driver is being used to set routes in a climbing gym. I love the feel of the driver and the balance compared to the older ones. Moving the handle to the center was a great change. I also like the setting that this one has compared to others. Great buy and for any route setter it is a must-have.
Love this impact driver, high quality feels amazing in the hand with the perfect weight balance, the colour just tops it off 10/10. Last delivery aswell
The pinnacle of impact driver technology at this point. The perfect balance between power, finesse and durability. The trigger is butter smooth, the light is a substitute flashlight, the grip is absolutely perfect. Its completely worth getting the Japanese version, you wont regret it.
Received the impact driver about one week after purchase. Items described were all included in a Japanese Makita box with instruction Manuel in Japanese. So far so good. Works and feels super nice. If you dont want the 13 mm wiggle room. I just grind off 4mm of a 1/4 hex bit and put in the anvil.
If you want the improved placement of the controls at the rear, different color options and the fantastic build quality along with the extra smart additional modes this is the shiznit. I have a 170 and a 172 and this is definitely a cut above either of them. All will remove wheel nuts and drill with huge impact bits but the finesse and ease of use of the TD173 make it so much better for screws in wood or metal. Undoes bolts with a perfect auto stop leaving the nut or bolt threaded ready for a quick spin to finish. One thing to be aware of is the 6mm chuck is about 5.5mm deeper than most impact drivers. Makita sell a Bit Piece A-44672 usually about $10 on eBay and I would buy several as they do fall out the chuck and roll away.
This is definitely not a makita tool. Based on my years of experience using makita tools, this is just a fake product with a makita logo on the shell. The motor sound is completely different from makita's, the LED light is not what it should be, and the electronic button functions are also incorrect. If you only use tools occasionally at home, this product might be acceptable, but if you want a tool with makita performance, do not buy this. The battery was also missing.
