Makita DTD173Z – compact impact driver with a power of 180 Nm

The cordless impact driver LXT® Makita DTD173Z is a tool designed for professionals who need maximum power in the smallest possible housing. Thanks to the brushless BLDC motor, a torque of 180 Nm, and an exceptionally compact design, the DTD173Z model ensures fast, precise, and reliable screwing even in tight spaces. It is the ideal choice for assemblers, electricians, installers, mechanics, and construction teams working in the LXT® system.

Main advantages and technologies

BLDC motor – brushless power and durability

The brushless BLDC motor offers high efficiency, less heating, and longer lifespan. A rotational speed of up to 3600 min⁻¹ and an impact frequency of up to 3800 min⁻¹ guarantee rapid screwing into wood, metal, and structural elements.

4-stage electronic speed control

The DTD173Z offers four precise operating modes that allow you to adapt the tool to the specific task:

• Mode A – automatic speed and impact increase for optimal start,
• Mode T – thick sheet – fast screwing of self-tapping screws,
• Mode T – thin sheet – automatic stop after 3 impacts,
• Screw mode – intelligent stop when unscrewing to prevent losing the nut.

New control panel – full control at your fingertips

The control panel has been moved to the back of the handle, allowing for quick mode changes with one hand. An additional switch above the trigger allows for instant switching of functions without interrupting work.

LED ring – perfect lighting

The driver features a LED light ring surrounding the gearbox, which eliminates shadows cast by the bit. Three-step brightness adjustment and a continuous light mode (automatic shut-off after one hour) ensure perfect visibility even in dark spaces.

XPT technology – resistance to dust and moisture

The DTD173Z is equipped with the XPT system, which increases the tool's resistance to harsh working conditions such as dust, moisture, or precipitation.

Applications – where does the Makita DTD173Z perform best?

• assembly of wooden and steel structures,
• installation and electrical work,
• screwing self-tapping screws into sheet metal,
• furniture and cabinetry assembly,
• service and mechanical work,
• tasks requiring a compact tool with high power.

Comfort and safety of work

• ergonomic handle covered with elastomer – secure grip and reduced fatigue,
• electric brake – immediate stop of the bit after releasing the trigger,
• structure preventing bit wobbling – two ball bearings stabilize the handle,
• compact length – ideal for corners and tight spaces,
• tool weight only 0.85 kg – excellent maneuverability.
