Makita DTD172Z

Makita has a tradition of innovation in the cordless impact driver category, and the 18V LXT Brushless 4-Speed Impact Driver (DTD172) sets higher standards. The DTD172 offers users four speeds, as well as Makita's application modes for increased fastening control. The unique application models use the brushless motor's electronic controls to find the balance of speed and torque for each application for more efficient fastening. Another precision setting is Tightening Mode (T-mode), which downshifts and reduces rotation and impact speed prior to driving the screw into place, and is engineered to minimize screw thread stripping, screw breakage and damage to work. The DTD172 delivers great performance in a compact and ergonomic design.Added features include the one-touch 4-speed power selector button under the chuck, which enables one-handed speed changes, and reverse rotation auto-stop mode which stops rotation and impact when the fastener is loosened adequately to help prevent overloosening and dropped fasteners.
