The Makita DTD152Z Impact Driver is a cordless tool which provides a high level of flexibility and freedom. It takes an 18V lithium-ion LXT battery which is sold separately. You might already have a suitable battery if you have a cordless Makita tool already. We like the driver's Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) which enhances its resistance to water and dust.
