MAKITA DHP487Z 18V LXT Brushless Cordless Impact Drill, Body Only

The Makita DHP487Z 18V LXT Brushless Cordless Impact Drill, Body Only is a battery-powered impact drill for drilling and controlled fastening. It runs on 18 V lithium-ion battery power. Maximum torque is 40 N·m in hard applications and 25 N·m in soft applications, with the separate ratings showing how torque output varies with application resistance. Maximum drilling diameter is 36 mm in wood, 13 mm in steel, and 13 mm in concrete. Intended users include professional installers, maintenance workers, builders, and experienced DIY users.

At 1.4 kg, the drill has a compact pistol-grip format with a soft-grip handle. Its keyless chuck accepts accessories from 1.5 to 13 mm, so bits can be changed without a chuck key. Adjustable speed gives control across drilling and fastening tasks, and a built-in LED provides local illumination in dim work areas. The drill is supplied without a battery, charger, or carrying case, so compatibility with the existing Makita 18V LXT platform is an important purchase consideration.
