Makita DTD171Z 18V Li-ion LXT Brushless Impact Driver - Batteries and Charger Not Included

Product Information

The DTD172 is a brushless impact driver powered by an 18v LXT Li-Ion battery. Key features include a LED job light with pre-glow & after glow function. The rotation speed of this device is also comparatively higher. These are the reasons why the DTD154Z is one of the top performers when we talk about wooden projects. Powered by an 18V Li-ion battery, the power tool supports M4 to M8 machine screws, M5 to M16 standard bolts, M5 to M14 high strength bolts and 22 to 125mm coarse threaded screws. Its brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes.

Another powerful impact tool with a brushless motor that delivers a maximum torque of 175Nm. Due to brushless functionality, DTD153Z never utilizes carbon brushes. Hence the device runs efficiently without any overheating. Part of Makita CXT series, TD111DSAJ uses a brushless motor that eliminates carbon brushing. It’s the reason why the impact device runs efficiently for a long time without overheating. It uses this saved energy to provide the given RPM, speed and torque to match the demand of materials as well as working conditions. Here comes the most exciting part. The impact device includes two 2.0 Ah Li-ion batteries, charger and case. The included BL1020B 10.8V battery has a slide fit style. It has 4 stage fuel gauge that keeps you informed about the charge left. In line with all new Makita tools the performance increases whilst the overall size of the machines decreases. The new top-of-the-range Makita DTD170 impact driver has a compact overall body length of just 117mm and weighs only 1.5kg. MAKITA DTD170 FEATURES In line with all new Makita tools the performance increases whilst the overall size of the machines decreases.

Specifications

Electric Brake: The 18v brushless driver has an electronic brake control, so the motor will stop and cut out as soon as the trigger is released. This allows the power tool user to have complete control when on the job. The Makita DTD171 come with twin bright job lights on either side (left & right) of the impact driver for better illumination in dark spaces. The DTD154 has a single job light which is located above the trigger. Body size

If your job involves driving screws into concrete or hardwood, then the Makita DTD152Z can be your best alley. You might also want to consider a few other options we have mentioned as runner ups. It features an electronic brake, a conveniently located push-button for forward and reverse and an LED job light with pre glow for use in low visibility applications. The new Makita DTD170 impact driver is technically a 6-function impact driver, with four speeds and matched impact power: then the newly introduced operating mode, 'T-Mode' is used for tightening self-drilling Tek screws and the new A-Mode (Assist mode) which, when selected starts the rotation slowly allowing maximum control of the screw as it starts to bite into the material. Once the impact driver detects the screw tightening it switches to full speed and full impact power to complete the tightening sequence. The A-Mode is designed to eliminate ‘screw cam-out’ and ‘cross threading’ caused by high speed rotation before the screw bites in the material. The A-Mode is designed to eliminate screw cam-out and cross threading caused by high speed rotation before the screw bites in the material.High quality and ultra-compact impact drivers come with a brushless motor and maximum torque of 175Nm. It gives you complete control with a three-stage power trigger and TEK mode, which prevents over fastening of screws. The DTD has a 1 mode which is the following: Tek Mode – This mode gives you full power at the beginning of driving the screw in, once the screw is almost all the way in, the impact driver reduces power to ensure the screw is flush, and to avoid over tingeing of the screw, and screw cam-out. Is it Worth Upgrading From The DTD154 to DTD171?

The Makita DTD154 has 175Nm of fastening torque and the DTD171 has 180Nm of fastening torque. The difference isn’t really going to be noticeable, and if you are looking for more fastening torque and your main criteria, considering the price difference, the Makita DTD154 is better value for money. Impacts Per Minute and No Load Speed (RPM) Makita DTD154 is one of Makita’s best selling impact drivers in the UK, and now, it has been replaced by the Makita DTD171. If you are looking to replace your impact driver and wondering if it is worth spending extra on DTD171, we will compare them side by side to see the differences. Torque Makita believe that for a good tool you need a good motor, and Makita makes every effort to make sure their motors are of the best quality. They use premium grade steel to produce armature shafts and gears, and only steel of the highest grade is used. Soft start adds to the ease of use while trigger controlled variable speed gives you complete authority over the material. LED lights are also in its front with pre-glow and after-glow functions. Their HQ is in Japan. Their Telford manufacturing plant is the only full-production facility for power tools in the UK and has been successfully running construction on many of our top line cordless power tools since 1991.
