About this deal

If you’re a pro and know all about Body Only and Battery options, then skip on ahead. If not, then I’d like to clear up something that is again quite confusing. The model numbers that Makita produce are generally a 6-digit reference, which signifies the ‘Type’ of tool and the model of that tool. So for their combi drills, they start with ‘DHP’ (Which stands for ‘Drill Hammer Percussion’). Then comes the 3 numbers e.g: DHP481 (481 being the model). Then anything that comes after those 6 digits just signifies the colour or battery option. With ‘Z’ meaning ‘body only’ (no Batteries), and ‘W’ meaning ‘White’ (Special edition colour). You’ll then often see things like RTJ (DHP481RTJ) which signifies that it comes with 2x 5Ah Batteries, Charger and Case). The DHP484 has slightly better RPM, this will help give it better performance in general drilling and if using as a screwdriver. However, 100 RPM difference between the two will not be that noticeable with most tasks. Speed Mechanical Gearing – high speed mode produces 2,100rpm for rapid drilling speed while low speed produces high levels of torque to suit high load operation. The Makita DHP485 has more torque compared to the DHP484. This will help drilling performance, but you will really see the benefits of more torque when using as a screwdriver, more torque will help you better tighten screws, and loosen tighter screws. Makita DHP485 Vs DHP484 Drilling in Wood, Masonry, and Steel LED work light: The built-in LED work light illuminates your work area, making it easy to work in low-light conditions.

But for now, let’s focus our attention on 18V LXT. At the time of writing this, there are 9 models on the market and I am going to do what I can to break them down for you. A note about model numbers The Makita 18V LXT® DHP482 Combi Drill (replaces DHP456) combines speed and torque in a compact size. For increased versatility, it can be run as a drill driver or a hammer drill, and is engineered for applications in wood, metal, masonry, and concrete. The better drill is the Makita DHP484, it has better specs, more compact and has a brushless motor. If having the best possible spec from the two is important, then the Makita DHP484 is the one to go for.Extreme protection technology (XPT) offers maximum protection against dust, debris and liquids for optimal performance in extreme conditions Two-speed gearbox: The drill offers two-speed settings (0-600 and 0-1,900 RPM) to match your application, whether you need high-speed drilling or high-torque driving. The DHP484 has a brushless motor, brushless motors are designed to deliver power more efficiently, this helping the battery to last longer. Brushless motors last longer than brushed motors, giving the tool a longer life.

If you're looking for a versatile and powerful drill for your DIY projects, the Makita DHP482Z is the perfect choice. The Makita DHP484 has better blows per minute, this helps give it better performance when in hammer mode drilling into masonry. On the other side of the coin if you’re after Makita’s most powerful combi, then look no further than their 40V XGT range, which includes a combi, you can see that here.
