Makita DHP481Z 18V Li-Ion LXT Brushless Combi Drill - Batteries and Charger Not Included

Product Information

This established power tool manufacturer is one of the most successful brands on the market for good reason. The variable speed control trigger is a very handy feature, allowing you to adjust the drill output to meet different drilling needs. I had a few of the first Lithium BHP451 3-speed drills and the BHP459 light weight brushless drill from makita and since getting this DHP481 i have given them away. The DHP481 has a much better quality chuck, and that's usually the number one thing to fail in cordless drills (in my experience). The high-speed mode makes this combi drill perfect for lighter tasks, while the low-speed mode can be used to tackle heavy-duty jobs that require sustained levels of more torque.

The Makita DHP481 18V LXT Brushless Combi Drill from ITS delivers a huge amount of power thanks to the brushless motor and all metal gearbox.

As a result of this passion, I’m constantly having to use various tools, tips and techniques that I’ve shared here. As batteries now include a battery life indicator, the battery capacity light on the base of the drill has been sacrificed for an even more compact and lightweight tool! Because of this, you will want a Makita combi drill that allows you to change screwdriver attachments and drill bits quickly. Basic tool body items can be inexpensive, but you will find yourself spending significantly more on additional lithium-ion batteries and compatible chargers.

Finally, think about whether you are prepared for a slight compromise in terms of motor performance for the convenience of a cordless system. This combi drill is perfect for tackling a broad range of drilling tasks, but it can also be used for more demanding hammer drilling jobs. If you are starting your tool collection then look out for starter packs that will usually include a drill (and possibly another tool as well) with a charger and a battery or two. The Makita DHP458Z has a robust metal keyless chuck, as well as a handle base with a battery charge indicator that has 4 led lights that show the amount of charge left in the battery at the push of a button. Not all cordless drills are created equal and there are many different models even within one manufacturers range.The high output is even more surprisingly when you consider this is a cordless tool that uses a battery. With 21 different torque settings to choose from, this versatile combi drill will become a firm favourite and your go-to choice of power tool for all manner of DIY tasks. The brushless motor makes this combi drill very efficient, with no brush replacements or motor maintenance to take care of. This cordless combi drill uses an 18-volt lithium-ion battery to provide you with variable speeds of up to 2,000 rotations per minute.
