Makita DTD173 18v LXT Cordless Brushless Impact Driver
The Makita DTD173 is an 18V cordless brushless impact driver engineered to deliver precision, power, and control across a wide range of fastening applications. Part of Makita's LXT system, this impact driver features a slim body design that provides excellent manoeuvrability in confined spaces whilst maintaining a comfortable grip for extended use on site.
The DTD173 incorporates an advanced anti-bit wobbling structure that uses two ball bearings to securely hold the anvil, significantly reducing bit movement for enhanced accuracy and smoother operation. This makes it particularly suitable for precision fastening work where consistent driving performance is essential. The brushless motor technology delivers improved runtime and efficiency compared to traditional brushed motors, whilst requiring minimal maintenance.
With four speed and torque settings ranging from 20 to 180 Nm, this impact driver handles everything from delicate machine screws (M4-M8) through to high tensile bolts (M5-M14). The electric brake provides quick stopping for increased safety and productivity, allowing tradespeople to transition rapidly between tasks. Ideal for electricians, carpenters, and general contractors working with metal and timber frameworks, decking installations, and mechanical assembly work.
Features and Benefits:
• Slim body design provides secure grip and excellent manoeuvrability in tight spaces
• Anti-bit wobbling structure with dual ball bearings ensures precise and reliable driving
• Electric brake enhances safety and efficiency by stopping the driver quickly

Battery AH Explained
The best way to describe battery amp hour is that this is effectively the size of your fuel tank, the more amp hours your battery has then the longer the battery will last between charges. More amp hours does not increase the power of a given tool.
Battery Voltage Explained
A tool with a higher voltage than another is a bit like choosing an engine in a car, the higher voltage will generally mean higher power & performance. As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers.
