Does anybody know if the Makita “TD170” impact drivers that are floating around on ebay are real and the same as DTD170 ?
Also, there’s a newer TD171 model, sold the same way…
Are they real, genuine, or different from the “official” models in any way? I see they are sold in many weird color options, like red, black, pink, green……
The reason there are more color options is because in Japan that is something Makita offers and that is where the drivers ship from. In the past myself and several others have ordered from yosh.set on eBay and received the correct authentic product. The other sellers are likely authentic as well. Keep in mind as they arefor the Japanese mark all text will be in Japanese, including the buttons and I doubt you will have any warranty support.
Japan doesn’t have the ‘D’ prefix in their tool names.
Td170 = dtd170
