Makita DDF485RTJ 18V LXT Cordless Drill Kit

The Makita 18V LXT Cordless Drill Kit is a battery-powered drill for drilling wood and steel as well as controlled screwdriving. Its 18 V supply places it within Makita's LXT battery format. Maximum torque is 50 N·m for demanding fastening and drilling work. Rated drilling capacity reaches 38 mm in wood and 13 mm in steel. These specifications make the drill suitable for general installation, maintenance, and construction tasks where a mains cable would restrict movement.

The drill weighs 1.7 kg with a battery fitted, a useful figure when judging fatigue during repeated or overhead work. Its pistol-grip body combines a soft-grip handle with an ergonomic design for a secure hold. The keyless chuck accepts accessories from 1.5 to 13 mm, so bit changes do not require a chuck key. An integrated LED provides local illumination in dim work areas. Two removable 5.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries are included, allowing one battery to be exchanged for the other. The kit also contains a battery charger and carrying case for transport and storage.
