The Makita BHP454 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2-Inch Hammer Driver-Drill
is a versatile tool that allows the user to bring one tool instead of two tools
to the job site. You can use it as a driver
drill or a hammer driver-drill. The
meat eater delivers 560 in. lbs. of torgue
in a compact size. Like all the drills I
like it has two speeds and is fast enough
to drill through concrete.
The
BHP454 only weighs 4.9 pounds and just under 10 inches high. Just like
most other Makita's it has a LED light just
above the trigger. The ergo shaped handle
reduces fatigue and allows you to be more
productive on the job site. The range
of applications you experience with the
BHP454, it's the perfect tool for the professional.
As with all lithium ion
cordless drill batteries, Makita is the
innovation leader of the 18V revolution
with their LXT series. As you know the lithium
ion batteries are 40% lighter and run a
heck of a lot longer than their cousins
NiCD. The lithium ion batteries don't
take nearly as long to fully charge and
you should see a full charge in about 30
minutes using the smart charger that comes
with your drill.
The
other beauty is these batteries can be used
over and over again for a total of around
2,000 cycles. Some people have better
luck and others have less luck, but I know
if you take care of your equipment it will
last.
