For now we are not naming a single best impact driver, because we have not confirmed Australian manufacturer warranty coverage for these linked offers, so compare the three by battery platform. If you run Makita LXT, the Makita DTD173Z adds a compact brushless body that Makita lists at 111mm overall. If you are on DeWalt 18V XR, the DeWalt DCF887N runs on any 18V XR pack, DeWalt quotes 205 Nm of torque, and three speeds plus PrecisionDrive give you control on small screws. If you already own Bosch Professional 12V batteries, or you only do light jobs, the Bosch GDR 12V-105 is the budget option, with a short 137mm head and 105 Nm of torque. All three are bare tools, so the battery and charger are sold separately.
