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

Product Information

Battery Protection Circuit keeps the cell safe, so none of the high voltage, extra temperature or over-discharge can harm it. As it uses lithium-ion technology, the device gets fade-free power. New impact mode, 'Assist-Mode' drives slowly to start screw before full tightening to eliminate "screw cam-out" and "cross threading“ 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. Included charger has a forced cooling system. It has an inbuilt fan that brings down the heat level of a battery so that its internal cells improve and perform in a better way.

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. Both Makita impact drives have the same impacts per minute at 3,800 and no load speed at 3,600. It’s quite disappointing that Makita did not increase these in the DTD171, however, 3,800 IPM and 3,600 RPM is still very good. Brushless Motor 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.Talking about the weight, its 998 grams, but this driver with battery (18V 3.0Ah) weighs 1.21 kg. The given heft will not bring you down even if you have to work for an entire day.

The new top-of-the-range Makita DTD171 impact driver has a compact overall body length of just 117mm and weighs only 1.5kg. Compatible with M4 – M8 size machine screws, M5 – M16 standard bolts, M5 – M12 high tensile bolts, and 22 – 125mm coarse threaded bolts, the DTD152Z has a maximum speed of 2, 900 RPM and 3, 500 impacts per minutes (IPM). 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?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. This one comes from the Makita G-Series and only works on lithium-ion battery platform. If you are a DIY person, then the device will meet or exceed your expectations. You must be thinking; How is that possible with an impact device available at such an affordable price? 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.

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. Brushless motor: The brushless design on this impact driver’s motor means that it continuously offers frictionless performance with little to no maintenance. This saw’s motor has a smaller number of moving parts, giving it the advantage of a more compact design.The Makita DTD171 18V LXT Brushless Impact Driver from ITS is the topline 18V driver model available from Makita with an impressive list of specifications to show for it. Power Selection: The cordless impact driver has electronic 4-stage impact power selections to choose from. This allows you to have complete control of the tool thanks to the variety of power levels, allowing you to adjust the power depending on the task at hand. 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 Let us tell you that the TD127DZ delivers up to 3, 000 impacts per second, and its engine has a maximum speed of 2, 300 RPM. With 140 Nm, you can use it for a wide range of fastening tasks for precise results.
