The verdictOur take

The DTD152 is a long-serving brushed 18V LXT driver, a single-speed 165Nm tool that has been a trade staple for years thanks to its reliability. It is brushed and single-speed, so it lacks the modes and runtime of newer drivers. We rate it a dependable workhorse for LXT owners; the brushless DTD173 is the modern upgrade if you want efficiency and control.
