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

Product Information

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

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. 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. Size, weight and ergonomics: Makita impact tools are generally compact and lightweight. But, they are available with various dimensions and heft. Slim options will be thin, which will not put much pressure on your wrists. So, choose a model that you can easily control and use. It will be better if the impact device has a soft and ergonomic grip for added convenience. 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. In line with all new Makita tools the performance increases whilst the overall size of the machines decreases.Our top recommendation is a brushed impact driver available at half the price of other Makita brushed tools. The primary factor to its fame is its torque of 165Nm, which makes DTD152Z a top contender; especially looking at its price. To tell you in a better way, wheel lug nuts of an average-sized sedan needs 110Nm to fasten. Makita DTD154 is one of Makita’s best selling impact drivers in the UK, and now, it has been replaced by the Makita DTD171.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

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.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. 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. 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. 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. The Makita vs Dewalt rivalry is ancient and is justified. On the one hand, you have Japanese Innovation and then on the other Dewalt gives you the US-bred industry-leading tools. Off course, Dewalt is more American, but Makita has been the leader in Innovation from decades.

This is where you begin the notice the differences between the two 18v Makita impact drivers. The Makita DTD171 has 4 pre-set speed settings, and they are: Max: 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.

Makita DTD172Z 18v LXT Cordless Brushless Impact Driver Body Only

TD111DSAJ is a boss tool to work with M5 to M14 standard bolts, M5 to M12 high tensile bolts, M4 to M8 machine screw, and coarse threaded screws 22 to 90mm. It has three impact modes: low, high and the latest A (Impact) mode. The advanced A method prevents any screws cross threading and cam-out by reducing the drive speed once the tightening starts. Maximum vibration generated by the device is 13.5 m/sec², and the sound level is 97 dB. Overall, DTD171Z excels in all the departments except one: the battery is not included. Hence the device runs efficiently for longer that also without overheating. Moreover, the integrated XPT protects the device from extreme dirt, debris and liquid to maintain the performance and discourage downtime. The Makita 18V Li-ion Cordless Impact Driver, DTD171, offers users four speed settings, as well as 4 specifically designed fastening modes for optimum control. The impact drivers electronic controls find the best balance of speed and torque for each application for more efficient fastening. The 4-speed power selection switch provides the user with precise fastening control for a range of applications, from cabinet screws to lag bolts.

Easily identified by its grey and blue colour, the device works well with standard screws measuring M4 to M8, M5 to M14 standard bolt, M5 to M12 high tensile bolt, and coarse thread of 22 to 125mm. Its 18V power offers 1.3 Amp of battery power and a runtime up to 60 minutes, only if you use the G-Series DC18WA charger (separately available).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. 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.
