Makita DHP482Z

The Japanese manufacturer of power tools Makita has long been known all over the world and is one of the five most popular construction brands. The DHP482Z screwdriver-drill is a 2017 model that combines all the qualities of a professional tool that works out its warranty period of 5 years and even more without any problems.

Ergonomics and power

The tool is made in the traditional "Makitov" blue-black colours. The rubberized handle and inserts on the case provide a low level of vibrations. In general, the ergonomics of the device are excellent. It is quite compact, and weighs only 1.15 kg without the battery. The latter, by the way, as well as the charger, is not included in the package, all this, together with the case, will have to be purchased separately. Although a screwdriver is good precisely because a whole series of 18-volt batteries of different capacities is suitable for it: 2, 3, 4 A, and in this case, you can just buy a gun for them.

The battery used is lithium, 18-volt, which indicates a decent drive power. Indeed, the maximum value of the torque in the model reaches 62 Nm and is regulated in the 21st position.

Contamination protection

An all-metal gearbox is installed in the screwdriver, which provides the device with increased strength and reliability. The mechanism is protected from dust and moisture proprietary XPT technology. This will not save him completely from pollution and wetting, but will significantly reduce the risk of breakage.

All on the shoulder

Screwdriver 2-speed, high-speed, perfectly handles with drilling holes with a diameter of up to 13 mm in concrete, brick, steel, fasteners up to M6. A hole can be made in a tree with a crown with a diameter of up to 38 mm. The shock mode provides a frequency of 28,500 beats / min. Concrete and brick masonry will definitely not resist such pressure. Illumination and belt fastening allow you to work in difficult conditions.

Without a case, charger and batteries (after all, all this can be left over from old purchases), a screwdriver will cost only $ 130. A great option to replace the old Makita, provided that batteries and a charger are available.
