FAQs
What is included in the Makita DTD173ZJX2E kit?
The kit includes the Makita DTD173Z 18V brushless impact driver, a 38-piece Impact Premier torsion bit set, and a Makpac Type 2 case. Batteries and a charger are sold separately.
Does this kit come with a battery and charger?
No, the Makita DTD173ZJX2E kit does not include a battery or charger. These must be purchased separately.
What type of battery does this impact driver use?
This impact driver uses Makita's 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries.
How do I maintain the torsion bits?
Keep the bits clean and dry. Avoid using them for applications beyond their intended torque limits to prolong their lifespan. Store them in the provided case.
Is the Makpac case compatible with other Makita storage systems?
Yes, the Makpac Type 2 case is designed to be stackable and interlock with other Makpac cases, allowing for a modular and organized storage system.
What is the benefit of a brushless motor?
Brushless motors offer increased efficiency, longer runtimes, more power, and a longer lifespan compared to traditional brushed motors, as there is no friction from brushes.
Can I use regular drill bits with this impact driver?
While you can insert regular drill bits into the chuck, this tool is designed for impact driving. Using standard bits for impact applications can cause them to break. It is recommended to use bits specifically designed for impact drivers, like the included torsion bits.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not power on.
Ensure a fully charged Makita 18V LXT battery is correctly inserted. Check battery contacts for dirt or damage.
Impact mechanism not engaging.
Verify that the tool is set to impact mode (if applicable and user-settable - check manual). Ensure the bit is properly seated in the chuck. For persistent issues, consult the service manual.
Reduced power or speed.
The battery may be low on charge. Recharge or replace the battery. Check for any obstructions around the motor vents.
Bit is not holding securely.
Ensure the bit is fully inserted into the chuck. Clean the chuck area if there is any debris. If the chuck is damaged, it may require professional service.
