Leading power tool manufacturer Makita has launched its new 18V LXT Brushless Impact Driver, alongside a host of new tools, cleaners and accessories.
The DTD171 18V LXT Brushless Impact Driver delivers high-end performance in a compact and lightweight package. Suitable for use across a number of high-intensity tasks, the new tool has a max tightening torque of 180Nm, meaning it ranks as the company’s most powerful cordless impact driver. Whilst striving for outstanding performance, Makita has taken great care not to overlook the importance of comfort and ease of use. To this end, the tool has been fitted with an ergonomic soft grip and number of highly functional features.
The new tool features an electronic four stage impact power selection, as well as four separate assist modes. These assist modes have been specifically tailored for use on particular tasks including; a wood mode, T-mode for thick metal plates, T-mode for thin metal plates and a bolt mode. With a quick mode switching function, the tool can easily shift from one task to another without having to interrupt work, helping tradespeople to progress jobs at a far faster rate.
The tool’s functionality is further improved with the addition of a variable speed trigger, which allows tradespeople to exert more or less power as they desire. Additional features, such as one-touch bit installation and twin LED job lights help tradespeople to work without interruption.
