Makita DDF485Z 18 Volt Brushless Cordless Drill and Screwdriver, Body Only

The MAKITA DDF485Z 18 V LXT Brushless Cordless Drill and Screwdriver, Body Only is intended for drilling, screwdriving and fastener removal. It runs on Makita 18 V LXT lithium-ion batteries, making compatibility an important consideration for existing Makita users. Maximum torque is rated at 50 N⋅m for harder applications. The drill accepts work up to 38 mm in wood and 13 mm in steel. These capacities suit maintenance, installation, construction and general workshop tasks involving wood, metal and common fasteners.

Weight is 1.7 kg without a battery, so the final working weight depends on the battery fitted. Its pistol-grip format includes a soft-grip handle for more secure contact during extended use. The keyless chuck accepts bits from 1.5 to 13 mm without requiring a chuck key. A built-in LED provides additional visibility in confined or poorly lit work areas. This cordless drill is supplied without a battery or charger and requires compatible Makita 18 V LXT components. No carrying case is included, which should be considered when arranging storage or transport.
