The verdictOur take

The DTD153 is an extra-compact 18V LXT brushless driver at 170Nm, a single variable-speed tool in a short 126mm body for quick, controlled driving without mode-switching. It trades the multi-stage modes of the DTD173 for simplicity. We rate it a good choice for users who want brushless power without fuss; for fastener-specific modes, the DTD173 is the fuller-featured pick.
