Makita DHP458Z Combination Drill 18V Lithium 91Nm (Batteries and charger are not included)

This is one of the best drills out there when you pick it up you know and feel the quality I had to wait about two weeks to get this drill ( I new that when buying ) but it was really worth the wait. The power when drilling either metal or concrete is as good as it gets surprisingly powerful for a 18volt drill it is a bit on the heavy side but I dont mind as I know this is because it is so well made and the best of metal components are in the construction not like some cheap plastic components use in other makes so as to make the drill light would recommend the drill to anyone I use it everyday in an enginering workshop

It's a Makita drill. Does what drills do. Use this a lot and had to get another one as the speed trigger went on my old one. Well made and works well.

Excellent

The tool is very powerful and has a sturdy built.Works well as a drill and also as electric screw driver with a lot of force and lots of clutch settings.This tool is a bit heavy for extrnsive use as a hand held screw driver.The price was very low and in total, a very good buy for the money.

Great drill for the money. I had a DHP481 previously that I killed after maybe 18 months. The 481 is clearly more grunty, being able to push through a 32mm self-drive spade bit in most joists. This drill is lighter-duty and more of a handy-man or carpenter's drill than for an electrician, as I am, needing to drill many holes in timber and use large hole saws for downlights, fans etc. Nice in the hand, though, and cheap as chips!

Good

This drill replaced a venerable mains-powered hammer drill and I've used it to drill through wood, through a breezeblock partition wall and into housebricks with great success. I find the trigger controls the starting torque very effectively so the drill doesn't twist (and therefore move a little) during that critical first fraction of a second. I haven't had any issues with battery life, although to be fair I've not really needed to use it multiple times an hour as yet. I can't say whether it's the right drill for a professional, but this occasional DiYer is very happy with it.

I have enjoyed DIY for many years, but have generally bought top end domestic tools especially drills and rechargeable batteries. However, my old drill failed as I started to re-floor a large wooden sun deck. The Makita DHP458Z cordless drill is targeted at professional tradesmen and is solidly built, and although heavier than previous drills I've used, it is powerful, well balanced and comfortable to use. I also bought 2 batteries for the drill which work well with the intelligent fast charger to keep me powered up throughout a project.
