DTD173 – Compact Impact Driver Class PRO

The LXT® DTD173 cordless impact driver is a tool designed for professionals who demand maximum power, precision, and full control in every assembly task. With a BLDC brushless motor, a torque of 180 Nm, and an exceptionally compact design, the DTD173 ensures fast and reliable driving even in hard-to-reach places. It is the ideal choice for installers, electricians, plumbers, mechanics, and construction teams.

Main Advantages and Technologies

BLDC Brushless Motor – Power and Efficiency

The BLDC motor guarantees high durability, reduced heating, and full work efficiency. A rotational speed of up to 3600 min⁻¹ and an impact frequency of up to 3800 min⁻¹ ensure rapid driving into wood, metal, and structural elements.

4-Stage Electronic Speed Control

The DTD173 offers four precise operating modes that allow you to adapt the tool to the type of material and task:

• Mode A – automatic speed and impact increase for optimal start,
• Mode T – thick sheet – fast and reliable driving 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 without interrupting work. An additional switch above the trigger allows for instant function switching.

LED Ring – Perfect Visibility

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

Applications – Where Does the DTD173 Excel?

• assembly of wooden and steel structures,
• installation and electrical work,
• driving 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 at 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 wobble – two ball bearings stabilize the handle,
• XPT technology – increased resistance to dust and moisture,
• compact length – ideal for corners and tight spaces.
