My first impact driver, and very pleasantly surprised (home DIY user). Having researched various brands, Makita seemed the option to go with, I was not disappointed. Excellent product and very powerful, with adjustable power levels.Unlike others had mentioned, mine came in a branded Makita box and when registering the product with Makita for their additional +2 year warranty (1 year is standard but registration within 30 days adds two years, totally 3 year guarantee), I note from the serial number that this was made in 2024, so not old stock.Any company that will stand over their product for 3 years, is worth considering.I have since bought a few other cordless Makita tools, all have exceeded expectations.Would recommend purchasing a Makita 5Ah battery or two, fantastic power and they can do a lot of work before needing recharged.

Very sturdy and easy to handle.

The media could not be loaded. This was one of my first Makita products, that eventually converted me to the Makita ecosystem 🛠 Full pros ☑️ and cons ✖️review below:Pros☑️ genuine Makita product, arrived brand-new in Makita branded box☑️ incredibly well built unit, high-quality plastics and bumper rubber protection around☑️ brushless motor and variable stage trigger is a joy to use even though I do find myself using the lowest setting the majority of the time☑️ changeable speeds and torque settings are another must, makes the tool incredibly versatile☑️ incredibly sturdy and powerful productCon✖️ only one fault, the button press on the unit speed goes from the lower setting to the highest setting, which is a little frustrating especially when in most cases you just want to move up and down by one speed without cycling through every other setting♾ in conclusion, a really really excellent product that I thoroughly recommend and enjoy using on a weekly basis!

I originally ordered the alternative DTD152Z, but this enhanced version (DTD154Z) incorporates adjustable speed & torque settings - which makes the tool much more 'user friendly' and able to deal with smaller screw sizes (on the 'low setting'). Higher settings enable this impact driver to deal with much larger screw fixings. Its power output is very impressive indeed, compared to a previous cordless drill I used for electric screw-driving. Also the '154' model has a slightly more powerful brushless motor, so is not only quieter in operation, but is also physically smaller, enabling you to work in even tighter spaces. Highly recommended.

Good quality impact drill
