About this product
The Makita DHP490 18v LXT Cordless Brushless Combi Drill delivers reliable performance in a compact, lightweight design – ideal for both light and heavy-duty applications. Equipped with a high-efficiency brushless motor, the DHP490 produces up to 65Nm of max torque, ensuring consistent power while reducing maintenance needs. With mechanical 2-speed gearing, you can switch between high-speed drilling for lighter tasks and low-speed, high-torque mode for tougher materials. The variable speed trigger, electric brake, and keyless chuck provide greater control and quick bit changes for improved workflow.
Features and Benefits
