Description
Makita DHP487SF 18V LXT Cordless Brushless Combi Drill
The Makita DHP487SF 18V LXT Cordless Combi Drill is a compact, high-performance power tool designed to meet the demands of professional tradespeople and serious DIY users alike. Featuring Makita's advanced brushless motor technology, this versatile combi drill delivers outstanding drilling, hammer drilling and screwdriving performance while maintaining a lightweight and ergonomic design.
At just 164mm in length, the DHP487SF is ideal for working in confined spaces without sacrificing power. Its efficient brushless motor produces up to 40Nm of maximum torque, providing the strength needed for drilling into timber, steel and masonry, as well as driving screws with precision and control. As part of Makita's renowned 18V LXT platform, this drill is compatible with the extensive range of Makita LXT batteries and cordless tools, making it a valuable addition to any existing collection.
The DHP487SF kit includes one 3.0Ah 18V LXT lithium-ion battery, a DC18SD charger, and a belt clip, providing everything needed to get started straight out of the box.
Compact Power with Brushless Efficiency
The brushless motor is engineered to deliver increased runtime, improved efficiency and longer service life compared to conventional brushed motors. By eliminating carbon brushes, friction is reduced, allowing more battery power to be converted into productive work while requiring less maintenance.
The compact body and lightweight construction make the DHP487SF comfortable for prolonged use, whether you're installing cabinetry, fitting doors, constructing timber frames or carrying out general maintenance work.
Three Functions in One Tool
The Makita DHP487SF combines three essential functions into a single versatile machine:
-
Rotary drilling for timber, plastics and metals
-
Hammer drilling for masonry and brick
-
Screwdriving with adjustable torque settings
Its 2-speed mechanical gearbox provides flexibility for both high-speed drilling and high-torque fastening applications.
Precision Torque Control
With 20 clutch settings plus drill mode, users can accurately match torque output to the application. This reduces the risk of stripping screws or damaging materials, making the drill equally suited to delicate installation work and demanding construction projects.
Maximum performance includes:
-
Maximum fastening torque: 40Nm (hard) / 25Nm (soft)
-
Variable speed:
-
Low: 0–500 rpm
