    Great combi hammer drill with a lot of power. This model DHP481 has the best chuck of all the cordless drills of that class on the market.
    Power and quality at a very competitive price. Impressive.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersWenn man schon systeme hat, und nur diesen nackten Schrauber kauft, ist es ein top Preis-Leistungsverhltnis. Teuer ist bei Makita ja ansich nur die Ladetechnik.
    Was ich nicht verstehe, warum man dafr keinen Waffenschein oder Eignungsnachweis vorlegen muss. Das Gert ist einfach nur Brutal. Der Griff keine unschne Zierde. Hier ist Kraft im berfluss vorhanden. Optisch sieht man diese, abgesehen vom Zusatzgriff, nicht wirklich, da kompakt und kurz. Gewichtsmig lsst es einen aber bses erahnen. Man sollte Ehrfurcht vor diesen Gert sein und immer aufmerksam beim nutzen. Sich an ntiges Drehmoment rantasten.

    What a great tool! Packed by less intelligence than a monkey!! The box . drill had no protection on the bottom, the drill just sat there and a pile of rubbish on top so ‘NO’ protection from the ground. I was stunned it wasn’t in pieces or wet through. However it arrived early and works. Love it.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersDer DHP481 von Makita ist ein absolutes Topprodukt, das mir von der ersten Anwendung an viel Freude bereit!
    Obwohl kein Leichtgewicht, liegt er perfekt in der Hand, ist leicht zu bedienen, weil er sehr gut austariert ist.
    Bedienungsschalter und -schieber sind perfekt erreichbar und rasten gut ein! Auch die beiden hellen LED Leuchten erleichtern die Arbeit ungemein.
    Fr mich der perfekte Kauf!

    Value for money won’t last longer than 2 years for daily professional use. Make sure you activate the makita warranty online and there’s no problem. DIY if it breaks it’s because you broke it.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersAngeschafft, um beim Bau eines groen Carports 10x300er bzw. 10x360er Zimmerer-Schrauben in rauen Mengen zu versenken, hat mich das Teil wirklich nicht enttuscht. Mein 10 Jahre alter Makita 18-Volt-Schrauber wre hier wohl an seine Grenzen geraten, zumal sich bei dem Gert kein Handgriff montieren lsst.
    Wie in einigen Tests erwhnt ist der Stromhunger gefhlt 30 Prozent grer als bei einem aktuellen Hilti oder Metabo, aber das war fr mich nicht relevant.
    Fr alles, was unter 8mm Schraubendurchmesser stattfindet, ist das Gert aber einfach zu schwer, um damit noch komfortabel ber lngere Zeit zu arbeiten. Hier verlasse ich mich weiter auf meinen 12V-Bosch-Blau und auf meinen wesentlich leichteren “alten” Makita…

    Absolute brute of a drill. Have yet to find anything that it won’t torque into oblivion, including my wrist. Recommend using the supplied supplementary handle if using on high-speed and suspect your bit may bind up on something. Jobs not requiring the torque may not justify the heavy weight penalty and I would not recommend this as a gift for children or girlfriends.
    Drill holes in concrete lintels and mix mortar with this and save on gym membership.

    Empleado en la construccin me permite realizar todo tipo de perforaciones y coronas en porcelana, metales, plsticos… Donde el martillo ligero DHR243 se pasa, utilizo este por sus revoluciones y su percutor. El ms potente de Makita, tiene un mandril de boca ancha que te permite utilizar husillos de mayor tamao y es de metal con lo que aumenta su durabilidad.

    No la utilizo como atornillador aunque cumplira su funcin sobrada, considero que pesa demasiado y esa funcin la realiza el atornillador de impacto DTD152.

    Taladro combinado indispensable para el kit.

    Hello,so the product arrived today ,just tested it works fine ,apart from a little weird noise ,but that might fade away in time ,drill looks superb solid construction I have a 5amp battery on it,so far so good ,I expect a lot from this brand, mostly because it is well known for quality and durability, I will come back with a further review later on .Good quality drill.
    P.S. The price is a bit hefty ,not because of the seller which sells this drill for a lower price than other sellers,in general this product has a hefty pricetag,let’s see if it worth it.

    Another A* from makita, the drill might already be a few years old but it still performs pretty well. This is by no means as power as a milwaukee but still for the age and price its not that bad. Whether it was worth the upgrade is questionable but this drill is already dated and if you need a drill it might be worth waiting for next years makita releases

    It came in less than two days, the box was in perfect condition and so was the drill. I compared it to my 14 year old Makita LXT400 (love Makita’s products) and side by side you can see the size difference by shrinking the back (brush-less technology), which makes a lighter, and powerful. Looking forward for many years to come of DIY projects.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersToller Akkubohrhammer. Hat meinen alten, kabelgebundenen Bohrhammer nahtlos ersetzt.
    Zur Maschine selbst. Ja, wie bereits angesprochen ist das Gewicht recht hoch. Aus meiner Sicht ist die Maschine jedoch perfekt ausbalanciert (nur mit den 5ah Akkus getestet) wodurch auch lngere Arbeiten kein Problem darstellen. Ich habe ber das letzte Wochenende hinweg an 3 aufeinander folgenden Tagen jeweils ca 10h ununterbrochen damit gearbeitet ohne Probleme an den Handgelenken zu bekommen. Meine Frau, das muss man klar sagen, hat jedoch Probleme die Maschine ber einen lngeren Zeitraum zu nutzen.

    Im Rahmen der bisherigen Nutzung wurden ca. 500 Schrauben in Weichholz, 50 6mm Bohrungen in Betonfundamende und 8 14mm Bohrungen in Waschbetonplatten und Beton vorgenommen. Die Maschine hat alles mit Bravour gemeistert.

    Der Energiebedarf bei letztgenannten Lchern ist naturgem natrlich hoch.

    Der zustzliche Griff ist absolut zu empfehlen, besonders im Bereich des harten Bohrfalls bei dem die vollen 115nm anliegen. Eine Unachtsamkeit kann hier ansonsten schnell zum Verkanten und in der Folge zu schweren Verletzungen im Bereich des Handgelenks fhren.

If you use this machine one time you won’t work again without it. I used other corded and cordless combi drills in the past like Power Plus, Skill, etc… This one is high level. Maybe is this one more expensive, but it’s worth the money, if you have the money to afford it. Delivery was fast.

    I’ve decided to refresh all my powertools and exchange the old ones on eBay for money. I don’t really use the combi much as I use a rotary and impact, so the combi is relegated to wood drilling and using for screwing and impact in a pinch or if I need 2 tools in use for speed and ease. I wasn’t expecting much difference but the brushless tools are a big improvement, I really could tell the difference straight away. Very torquey, the chuck is better and doesn’t slip on tightening, the trigger is much improved now much more controllable. Settings are ‘selected’ much better, the tools is smaller but the weight is still there so could be a problem for long period use. Bettery indicator is very useful as is the bright job light, grip is very comfortable and ‘grippy’ It’s so nice, I don’t want to get it dirty. Pair with a 5.0Ah battery and it’ll be a beast. Very good value at this price. I might start using it more often. People will tell you buy the cheap tools as you won’t use them as much as a trades, well they’re wrong, you’ll do a lot more jobs, you’ll find more jobs, jobs will be a pleasure to do and they will be easier and get done quicker and better.

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersDie Masse der Informationen wurde schon in anderen Rezensionen geschrieben. Ich fasse nur meine Erfahrungen kurz zusammen:

    – Kraft ohne Ende. Ich bin ehrlich beeindruckt und das in dem kleinen kompakten Gert
    – Energieverbrauch ist enorm, gerade im Vergleich zu meinem lteren Model. 5Ah Akku ist m. E. n. Pflicht, sonst hat man keinen Spa, klar Kraft braucht Energie, doch ich denke hier liee sich noch was optimieren
    – Meine wirklich grte Kritik ist das Bohrfutter. Beim alten Modell komplett Metall, auch nach Jahren kein Problem. Hier wirkt das sehr leicht, scheint mir eine Art Druckguss zu sein. Da htte ich mir wirklich ein Rhmbohrfutter gewnscht.

    Die Bedienung des Gertes ist durch die Kompakte Bauweise etwas anders als ich es gewohnt bin. Damit kommt man mit der Zeit aber bestimmt zurecht.

    This drill can drive a car lift easily up to 1500Kg. It’s possible to use it with smaller Makpac’s but they will drain relatively fast when using it for heavy jobs. 3-5Ah is recommended. The drill does not reach its maximum torque if the battery gets drained under 50%.
    It’s compact, relatively light and sturdy.
    I’m very satisfied with this buy. I’m using it for eveything now from small screwing on car interiors to drilling big holes in stone walls/ metal/, … since its energy consumption is the same for jobs my other drills could do. My only mistake was that I didn’t buy this one from the start.

    Gros client de longue date, en particulier pour le haut niveau de qualit de service apport par Amazon (ici produit vendu et expdi par Amazon, j’y allais les yeux ferms), j’ai accumul plusieurs expriences malheureuses avec Amazon ces derniers temps, un hasard ou une nouvelle tendance ? 🙁
    A suivre de prs !

    Concernant la perceuse en elle-mme, comme les autres outils de la gamme Makita 18v, elle est solide d’aspect, bien quilibre, bonne prise en main et mme si sa percussion ne rivalise pas avec celle d’un perfo (normal, perceuses et perfos ne jouent pas dans la mme cour), les premires utilisations mettent en vidence des performances remarquables. Sur le choix de l’outil, aucun doute, c’tait le bon pour moi ! Seul bmol sur la poigne surdimensionne mais j’ai vraiment un gros doute sur le fait qu’il soit celui d’origine, il n’est ni pratique (carter les bras pour tenir une perceuse, quelle ide !), ni adapt (un si grand axe dnote par rapport la taille menue de la perceuse… mon perfo bosch 18v est 2 fois moins large !).

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThe DHP458Z is Makita’s brushed “heavy duty” cordless hammer drill and it held up well and handled everything I put it through for 5 years of residential and commerical plumbing/gasfitting but mine started smoking last month and quit working (could just need new brushes). You can still buy the DHP458Z for about $70 less but I opted to go with the brushless version since I use my drill every day. This drill doesn’t get as warm, has a better chuck and feels more powerful. I’d say both are a good option but if you use a cordless drill every day that this is worth the extra money long term (assuming I get at least 5 years out of it).

I would recommend this over the cheaper drills in the range as it is allot more powerful and for things like drilling joists it will go through without stopping. Highly reccomend.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersThese are great drills and take a lot of punishment. This is my second drill in 5 years and I literally gave it no thought when deciding to order another one. Provided you’re in the Makita battery family you won’t have a problem with this drill or the power it delivers.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersReally good drill, Makita quality dropped off a few years ago but this is a return to great kit. The drill has loads or power drives my 32mm wood bits through joists with ease, light is very useful in dark areas, chuck is large & strong.
    The two speed system works well as drill has so much torque & hammer action drills 6mm masonry bits into the hardest brick with no problems.
    I’m a plumber doing lots of installation work & this drill has really lived up to the good reviews I read before buying.

    First brushless makita I’ve owned and wow the power of this doesn’t let you down I’ve yet to have any material stop this drill.powered by the 5 amp battery and it’s amazing
    This got sent to me in bubble wrap and a box which wasn’t very good but I suppose they didn’t really have any other way of packaging it.

    The best cordless drill I have used yet. Brushless motor is an obvious improvement over the brushed motor. The drill doesn’t get nearly as warm when mixing mortar etc. Run time is also excellent.

    Update 2020
    After four years of usage, this drill is still going strong. The only issue I’ve had is with the side handle, which I replaced easily.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersReally, really nice drill. Much more compact than the BHP451 it is
    replacing in my TB (with ~2X the torque). Glad they decided to get rid of
    the mostly superfluous three speed box – now has a much more
    practical 2 speed box.

    Powerful drill, does everything and more than an otherwise electric hammer drill might do. Good value through Amazon.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our Userspowerful but heavy. I bought this to replace a 10 year old model and was pleased by the depth and size of hole I could drill through wood but it is heavy so not so useful as a screwdriver if you have a lot of work to do.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersAs always built impressively. Powerful torque but could do with another slower fixed speed so as not to destroy bits. Perhaps triple speed gearbox on the top brushless DeWalt would be better in this regard.

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our Usersi decided to buy this drill after studying the reviews and demonstrations,I have always had dewalt products in the past but has I like gadgets and as a carpenter I was on the look out for something new.
    The drill is worth every penny in my view it’s very powerful got everything you need well built ,in fact it can be to powerful when screwing in screws like going into deep into the timber and striping the heads of the screws and drill bits so it’s worth investing in some good quality drill bits.the secret here to driving screws in is to gentle press the trigger on and of not continues.
    The drill itself is light without the battery but when I put the battery on which I have the 4amp it does become heavy after using it on and of for the day so remember this if purchasing.
    Overall though this is the best drill on the market in its class,you will not be disappointed and with a three year warranty you go wrong.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersWhat can I say, this is quite expensive, however it is the best that Makita produces and as far as I am concerned it is the best drill on the market at this moment in time.
