I feel I can review this item with the utmost confidence because even though I've only just purchased this one, these are issued to us at work and I use mine daily.It's a really good bit of kit. Not perfect (despite the 5 stars...perhaps 4.5 would have been more apt) but not too far off for what it is. Obviously, you won't get the power of an high-end corded hammer drill, nor will you get the compactness of it's smaller screwdriver cousin. What you do get though is a really good all-rounder.There is an hammer option, which is actually quite powerful (in fact, I've also bought a new 18v Dewalt drill recently and I find the hammer option to be more powerful on this).It will drill relatively easily into all but the hardest of materials. I would have said ALL until recently, when I was on the verge of tears trying to hang a gate post on a wall of Accrington brick, which, of course, just laughed at me. No doubt you'd ask why not just go for the mortar joint's...well that was what the last three scoundrels before me did, leaving me a tricky one.! Of course I got there in the end, but I digress. Back on topic, It will drill into concrete and most building materials without much issue.The screwdriver option isn't quite as powerful as it's Dewalt but is still much more powerful than an electric screwdriver and can be toned down for more delicate operations.It looks good too, which might not be an important consideration to most, but those who pride themselves on a good looking workshop, will know it's no bad thing to have nice looking tools sat on the wall.Although this doesn't come with a battery or charger, if you do decide to purchase both as well, the 4ah battery will last ages and the charger won't take long to recharge your battery (though it is a bit cumbersome).In short, I got mine for free at work but still decided to buy one anyway. Need I say more? ...You won't be disappointed.

I have an SDS hammer drill, which is also amazing, but owning this drill means I hardly ever need to use it, this will go through all but the toughest of surfaces with relative ease.It has 3 main functions Hammer Drill, Screw, and Drill. All of which can be used on "Slow spin or Fast spin" Slow has more power but less speed and vice-versa. (never change speeds midway through drilling, this can mess up the gears.)Hammer drill is perfect for solid brick or other hard surfaces,Screw mode has an adjustable torque limit to stop you drilling a screw in too tight.and drill mode is just regular drilling, useful for drilling through wood,drywall and softer surfaces.each mode can be set in clockwise and anti-clockwise directions and there is a light just above the button which helps you see where you're drilling in dark places.If you've ever owned a £20 drill, the second after you pick up this Makita you'll be able to tell the difference in build quality, this thing is built to last and just feels great in the hand.There's not much more to say about this drill apart from I think it's probably the best price to quality ratio drill out there and just a great all-rounder.

Where to start ....I own a DTD152 impact driver and a DHP453 combi drill alongside other Makita tools. I found the impact driver a bit too powerful on occasions (especially for smaller screws) so thought getting a single drill somewhere in between the two tools above so that I would only need to lug one around with me.There is no question the hammer action of the 482 is better than the 453. On paper another 20Nm and the test drill I did on an old flag stone definitely proved it to be a step upHowever, for larger diameter/longer screws it feels wanting against the 152. It obviously would being a much lower power device.So, what do I do? I will definitely flog the 453 on an internet auction site and had intended to do the same with the 152.Think I'll wait a bit and see how the 482 performs in the real world before bidding it a fond farewellThe 482 is a good compromise re length at 208mm. (152 = 187mm, 453 = 240mm) It also DOESN'T feel heavy and DOES feel balanced in the hand.Got a job tomorrow that will test it so will come back and update

Great General purpose drill I got this to work alongside my older DHP456 which in itself is a great drill after 4 years of a lot lf work the Chuck is starting to play up, (will get a replacement in time as they are fairly inexpensive) this got me looking at Bare body drills as I have a Pair of batteries this model DHP482Z came up as great Value for money and is an updated version of my older one, its got a little more torque and a few more RPM's they look fairly similar and have the same body shape which is great, perfect fit into the old case,Its got the addition of 2 Led work lights which is better as with the older drill the Chuck would cast a shadow over exactly the tip of the drill bit.Superb piece of kit (it's a brushed model, that's fine as I have a spair set of brushes, they are only cheap anyway and I haven't had to replace them in 4 years of fairly decent use.)For the price absolutely Superb.

My old Makita rechargeable drill used NiCd batteries and had got to the point that it would just about drill one hole in brick, or six holes in 1/2" wood, and then need a day to recharge. Time to buy a new drill.I bought a hefty Makita impact driver recently and so have a charger and batteries: I looked for the cheapest compatible Makita drill that I could find ... this is it. For the money, I'm delighted. I haven't managed to stall it yet and I wish I'd moved up to lithium battery powered equipment long before now.It's light and powerful and it has a badge on the side that says "Makita" so I can pretend that I know what I'm doing with DIY jobs.

Sturdy, compact, not too heavy and feels good to handle. Just done some light drilling and "screwdivering" so far but battery time is good with fairly quick charging and with having two batteries it makes it even more flexible in terms if time use. Good sturdy case but I think it would have been better with some sponge to keep things secure when the lid is closed. Probably the only disappointing thing is that it came with a solitary double ended screwdriver bit .... I think the boat could gave been pushed out to include at least a 6 piece rack of different sizes.

I had bought some other Makita equipment so already had two batteries, hence this was an add on to those. Why oh why have I put up with my old electric drill this thing is great, powerful, light and so easy to use. Great for quick jobs, I have used a drill for light work, building furniture as the torque setting means you don't seem to over tighten screws. Good versatile bit of kit for lots of jobs, this won't replace a larger drill for serious DIY but for quick tasks, it is great.

Comfortable to use, short enough to get into tight corners, and easily controllable. The built-in work light helps and the keyless chuck is very positive. The drill driver is well made and has already survived being dropped twice onto concrete from table height without any noticeable damage.I already have batteries and charger and now have the choice of a drill bit in one machine and a screwdriver bit in the other..

Wanted a second body as fitting out loft and was getting fed up of swapping between drill and screwdriver bits. Original drill and battery is over 10 years old and still going strong (only DIY use) so expect this to last just as well. The new one is white rather than teal but feels exactly the same quality (plus I can tell difference between the two drills easily) and has a much brighter LED lamp!

Ive used several combi screwdrivers/drills over the years and this is the best its very powerful considering the small size.its got quite a slim grip that can be held and controled easily compaired with a few others ive used.the battries charge quickly and give a audible alert when charged, for price its unbeatable from FFX although its gone up slightly but still good value.

Bought this tool as a treat . Have used several different Makita tools previously and like the ability to use same battery for different tools. I had one issue , hence 4 stars. the chuck was very wobbly, I contacted Makita who promptly arranged collection of the drill , they collected it on a Friday , I had it back the following Tuesday. Excellent service!

Had the older version of this for 20years before the trigger switch broke (still works, but only on full power).Great tools, brilliant make.This one is slightly lighter in weight than my old one. This has slightly better general figures. So I see no reason to expect great things from this for the next 20years.

16.7.2020

Bought as a replacement, however I actually ordered the wrong one thinking it to be the heavier blue one. This one was good value but possibly only suitable for lighter use. Returned and refunded without any problem. Cost me £3.50 though for postage vis a Post Office.

Excellent Drill, this is the second one I've bought.The first one is still going strong after 5 years with much use at work and on sites.Received it from Amazon within 24 hours or ordering it. Brilliant service and thank you.

excellent quality product and a great cordless less battery system with very good prices on things like lawn mowers and garden tools, only a little bit more then ryobi, but worth the extra, has 3 year warranty if registered.
