Product guide

Makita DHP482Z 18V LXT 1/2-Inch Hammer Drill-Driver

Makita DHP482Z is an 18V LXT cordless hammer drill-driver with a 1/2-inch chuck and two-speed operation. The listing calls it tool-only, while a separate included-components list names a hook, chuck and double-ended bit, so confirm the selected package before purchase. Its compact listed dimensions and XPT protection claim suit drilling and fastening where a cordless tool is useful.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The title says tool-only, but the separate included-components list names a hook, keyless chuck and double-ended bit. These package details are inconsistent, so confirm what is included in the selected listing. Torque claims also vary across the listing, from 420 and 480 to 550 and 750 in-lb, alongside a separate 500 N m and 430 in-lb entry. Speed details are given as a 1,900 rpm maximum and as low/high ranges. The product is identified as a hammer drill, while some supplied descriptions refer to drill-driver modes. Confirm the relevant configuration and specifications before relying on a particular figure.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

Buyers who need a cordless drill for drilling and fastening, with a hammer-drill mode claimed in the listing.
Users already equipped for the listed 18V battery-powered configuration, after confirming whether a battery is part of the selected package.
Shoppers who value compact listed dimensions and a relatively low stated tool weight.

Less suited to

Buyers who need a confirmed battery and charger in the box, because the title says tool-only and the package details are inconsistent.
Anyone choosing strictly by a specific torque figure, until the conflicting listing claims are clarified.

Customer feedback reports positive impressions of quality, performance, power, value and weight, while durability opinions are mixed. That is relevant for buyers weighing a compact cordless tool for regular work, but it does not resolve the listing's conflicting torque or package details. Aggregate ratings are generally favourable, though ratings alone do not establish why customers responded as they did.

Frequently asked questions

Does the DHP482Z include a battery and charger?

The title says tool-only and no battery or charger appears in the supplied included-components list. Confirm the selected package rather than assuming either is included.

What accessories are listed?

A separate included-components list names a hook, a 1/2-inch keyless drill chuck and a double-ended bit. Because the title says tool-only, check the selected listing's actual package details.

Which torque figure should I use?

The listing gives several inconsistent torque claims, including 420, 480, 550 and 750 in-lb, plus 500 N m and 430 in-lb. Do not treat one as settled without clarification.

Is this a hammer drill or a drill-driver?

The title identifies a hammer drill-driver and the details call it a combination drill, but some descriptions use drill-driver mode language. Confirm the mode information that applies to the exact configuration.
