Makita 18 V LXT Cordless Impact Driver – 165 Nm Max Torque, Variable Speed (Tool Only) DTD152Z

Compact Fastening Precision and High-Torque Performance (Note: Batteries and chargers are sold separately)

 

The Makita DTD152Z is a high-performance cordless impact driver engineered for professional-grade fastening tasks that demand both speed and precision. Powered by the versatile 18V LXT battery system, this tool utilizes a 4-pole motor to deliver a maximum fastening torque of 165 Nm. Its primary applications include high-speed tightening of self-drilling screws and light-duty machine screws, making it an essential asset for South African shopfitters, cabinet makers, and onsite installers.

Designed with a compact overall length of just 137 mm, the DTD152Z excels in confined spaces and overhead applications where standard drills are too bulky. The tool features Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), which provides enhanced resistance to dust and water for reliable operation in harsh jobsite conditions. With its ergonomic rubberized soft grip and twin LED job lights, this impact driver ensures maximum operator comfort and visibility during repetitive industrial fastening.
