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

Product Information

Some final things to know about the new DHP486 include the vibration level and k factor, and sound pressure level. When drilling metal, the vibration level is 2.5 m/s2 or less, whereas, for concrete, this is 8.0 m/s2. Similarly, the k factor when drilling metal is 1.5 m/s2, whereas this is 1.5 m/s2 when impact drilling into concrete. Drilling Modes – screwdriving mode (rotation with clutch) for achieving an even consistent finish when fastening screws. Drilling mode (rotation only) achieving 130Nm max. torque. Hammer Drilling mode rotation with hammering) on the for drilling in masonry up to a maximum 16mm hole diameter. I'm slowly looking for replacement and would like to go brushless as my other makita tools are, however there's nothing really new from Makita range , only the DHP481z which is like 3years old and is their top of the line drill currently. Versatile function: The Makita cordless hammer drill has 3 combi drill modes: regular drill, hammer drill, drill driver mode for fastening and unfastening, plus 21 adjustable torque settings + drill. The drill also has forward and reverse rotation so that you can embed screws and remove them. While the new DHP486 combi hammer drill does look similar to the original DHP481, Makita has confirmed that it is the most robust drill in its class, thanks to the 130 Nm of torque it offers from its brushless motor. This allows the tightening of heavy-duty fasteners, for example, a 9 x 50mm lag bolt in screwdriver mode.

The Makita DHP486Z 18V LXT Brushless Hammer Driver Drill provides 130Nm of maximum fastening torque and no load speed of 2,100rpm combining rapid drilling speeds with high levels of torque. This model is based on the DHP481, but has been redesigned with a newly designed motor and gear ratio achieving not only more power but also increasing the performance in continuous heavy-duty applications. Not only has the performance on the DHP481 been increased but it is also considerably shorter. At 178mm in length this model is 27mm shorter than the DHP481. Making it the most compact drill in its class and extremely comfortable to use in all applications. The metal gearbox on this Makita brushless combi drill provides greater runtime and higher efficiency LED Joblight – high brightness twin LED joblight with pre-glow and after glow functions.

Another reason users will love this new model is that it’s approximately 14% smaller than the DHP481. Measuring just 178 x 81 x 248mm, it’s more likely to fit into compact spaces, thanks to the optimised gear assembly design. Impacts Per Minute and No-Load Speed If you’re concerned about sound, this device produces 84 dB(A) at sound pressure level and 94 dB(A) at sound power level. The noise k factor is 3dB(A). All of which is a slight improvement versus its predecessor. My gearbox for dhp458 is slowly going/acting up and I know the drill won't really last for long, but that's ok as I have used&abused that drill and used it as mixer almost every other day and it has given me a good service for 4years.

High Power Output – This model has been redesigned with a newly designed motor and gear ratio achieving not only more power but also increasing the performance in continuous heavy-duty applications. Ergonomic design: This hammer drill has the best possible ergonomic handle for drill-driver applications. Despite the impressive 115Nm of torque, the vibration K factor is just 1.5m/sec², this makes it much easier to use for long lengths of time without any hand pain. Battery fuel gauge - The power remaining in the battery (not included) is indicated with the push of a button - 3 lights on : more than 50% of full battery capacity, 2 lights on : 20% to 50% of full battery capacity, 1 light on : less than 20% of full battery capacity

High performance: This 18v hammer drill has different diameters for different materials. Drilling diameter in steel: 13mm; drilling diameter in wood: 76mm; drilling diameter in masonry: 16mm. This combi drill performs brilliantly with a number of materials perfect for a multifaceted job. Something else we love about the new model is the fact that it features XPT technology. XPT is a protective seal featured inside the drill, making it more resistant to dust and water and protecting the critical components inside. Because of this, people can use the drill outdoors or in harsh environments. Specifications such as Impacts Per Minute and No-Load Speed remain equal to those of the DHP481, with a max of 31,500 ipm and a No Load max speed of 2,100 rpm. Some users don’t appreciate an RPM over 2,000, as when using larger drill bits, the drill struggles. With a max RPM of 2,100 on the highest setting, the option of a lower gear and thus a lower RPM of up to 550 rotations per minute is welcome. Users have regularly favoured higher RPMs over the years, possibly for no other reason than that they look good on paper!
