What makes the Makita DTD172Z different from other Makita impact drivers?

The DTD172Z is Makita's premium 18V impact driver with 180Nm of torque and 4-speed power selection. The Quick-Shift Mode speeds up tightening by automatically shifting from impact to high-speed rotation. At just 119mm long, it is one of the most compact impact drivers available, ideal for confined spaces.

Does the Makita DTD172Z have speed settings?

Yes. The DTD172Z has 4 electronic speed settings that let you match the tool's output to the application. Lower speeds suit delicate work like cabinet assembly, while full speed handles structural fixings. This level of control is a step up from single or 2-speed impact drivers.

What batteries are compatible with the Makita DTD172Z?

The DTD172Z runs on any Makita 18V LXT battery. It ships as a bare unit without battery or charger. The brushless motor makes efficient use of battery power, so even a 3.0Ah battery delivers solid runtime. For all-day site use, a 5.0Ah battery is recommended.

Can I use the Makita DTD172Z for automotive work?

Yes. With 180Nm of torque and precise speed control across 4 settings, the DTD172Z handles automotive fasteners, panel screws and underbody bolts effectively. The compact 119mm body fits into tight engine bays. For heavy lug nuts or rusted bolts, a dedicated impact wrench with higher torque is the better choice.

Is the Makita DTD172Z suitable for driving long screws into timber?

Absolutely. The 180Nm torque handles long timber screws, coach bolts and structural fixings with ease. The 4-speed selection lets you start slow to avoid cam-out, then increase power for the final drive. The dual LED work lights eliminate shadows so you can see the fastener clearly.
