MAKITA DHP453RFE 18V LXT Cordless Hammer Driver Drill Kit

The MAKITA DHP453RFE 18V LXT Cordless Hammer Driver Drill Kit is a battery-powered hammer driver drill for drilling, screwdriving and masonry work. It runs on an 18V battery platform, the main compatibility factor when selecting a cordless drill. Maximum torque is 42 N⋅m in hard applications. Maximum drilling diameter is 36 mm in wood, 13 mm in steel and 13 mm in concrete. These figures apply across timber, metal and masonry.

The drill weighs 1.8 kg without a battery; the working weight will be higher once a battery is fitted. Its pistol-grip body includes a soft-grip handle for a more secure grip. The keyless chuck accepts bits from 1.5 to 13 mm and needs no separate chuck key. Two removable 3.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries are supplied, so one can be charged while the other is in use. A charger and carrying case are supplied, but there is no built-in work light for poorly lit areas.
