This impact driver is at the top of our Teal Team shirt here: bit.ly/3liWXEB If you're an astute Makita fan you might be saying "XDT16 is not the US version of this tool, the TD172D is newer" which is correct. Should have been worded XDT16 is the closest to this and latest you can buy in the US, and also rated for the same power. But not "same"

Upgraded from an older 18v kit. kzbin.infoUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv I independently chose the drill and impact tool, before I came across the kit.I like the 3 speed impact gun. It seems more powerful than my older one, and it can be set to be really gentle. The drill is more appropriately sized for my use. I used to have a hammer drill, but I did not like that it was so big and it was not a great hammer drill. I rather have a smaller drill like this, and then get a corded hammer drill for the odd case I need that.

I bring the makita xwt mid torque too for bigger fasteners like frame, engine mount, and head bolts. Of course it does woodwork with no issues as well. I realy appreciate the reverse testing you guys do; i would agree impacts are most useful backwards. i actually appreciate the relatively low forward torque on this driver as i do sometimes use it to zip on 10-12mm fasteners snd its low enough torque i dont need to worry about breaking things. i just let it get two or three impacts into tightening and stop. Compliments tk the trigger.

@enobil3 жыл бұрын
I have both milwaukee gen3 and td172, the trigger on milwaukee is very hard, I mean it is not like it will leave fatigue but you just max out usually, trigger control is tricky. Makita td172 has very soft trigger that you can control very easily, and its trigger depression vs torque curve is very useful. I mean you can do light duty stuff without even lowering the gear if you want. Similarly hitachi triple hammer has a highly controllable trigger too, not as soft as makita but still much softer than milwaukee. The trigger torque curve is so great on hitachi that I can always use highest mode called P mode even for smallest screws. That was about the trigger. Now coming to the handle, milwaukee handle is much thicker and makita handle is narrow. Unless you have huge hands makita just fits in your palm greatly. It is not like milwaukee won't fit to your hand but makita fits much better so it is like a luxury car if you like. But milwaukee has a better heavy duty feel if that's what you're looking for. TD172 feels more delicate, like battery box is not rugged so you feel like it can crack, even though it is solid it doesn't feel sturdy. Also makita has like 8 speed settings which can give you some indirect ergonomics if you do very repetitive work. Btw if you care about durability, hitachi triple hammer is ip56 certified so it is more resistant to water obviously and I guess it should be more resistant to dust etc similarly.

Did my own testing with the surge, 7” half inch lag bolts into pressure treated 6x6, I used a half in anvil adapter and 7/16 socket, it would drive the bolt in speed2 slowly maybe 3-4 seconds per revolution but clearly right at its torque limits. Switched the adapter over to the standard M18 and it buried them in 2-3 seconds, the beans are undeniable. But with all that said I still ordered an all black TD172 cause it’s just too sweet of a package not to, the XD16 already feels like a toy in my hand I can only imagine how tiny the 172 feels. The surge has become my go to impact for all indoor work and really everything short of brute force jobs where I’ll reach for the standard M18 or even my XWT15, I have a feeling the 172 will replace the surge, time will tell…..

And I brought in the TD171 in March and love it. It is quite similar to your TD172. However, I shall have to disagree with higher numbers equaling superior quality. The fit, feel and satisfaction of use are very important. And long after the Chinese tool with the bigger numbers is likely the break or fry, the Japanese tool is likely to keep going indefinitely. The Japanese are at the top of the mountain with their reliability and durability. Chinese. not so much. So therefore, unless the Milwaukee absolutely left the Makita in the dust, wnich it did not, I would ask you to consider the points I have made above. And I hope you are enjoying tour TD172.

Now there are 172 comments here. Makita China and Japan factories both release different colours of impact drivers every generation and the colours from China factory may be different as I know. So still waiting for new colours from China factory such as green brown wine copper gold white...

How about the Hart cordless impact drivers from Walmart, brushless and brushed. Or the Hitachi 18 or 36 volt impact drivers I have each a 36 volt and an 18 bolt of the same impact driver.
