If you have never come across the Makita branding before, then you should take note that they are a company who provide professional power tools to the world. One of their main strengths is producing compact and energy efficient tools that use the most cutting edge technology.
Makita BHP452HW is one of the latest in their models. This is a compact drill that combines both a driver drill and a hammer drill, so you only need one tool on site or wherever you are working. These selections can be made using the Shift-lock system sleeve that smoothly switches between the 2 options.
Makita BHP452HW Review
The perks of this tool don’t stop there, as this cordless drill only weighs 3 pounds 6 ounces and is only just under 9 inches long. The compact drills handle fits snugly into your hand due to the ergonomic shape that provides comfort and confidence that it will stay put no matter how long you use it for at a time. The standard LED light is great as this compact design would be well suited to tight spots and awkward corners and darkened areas.
It is basically 2 tools in one and both operate to a high standard, that you would expect from Makita. The BHP452HW has a Makita-built 4 pole torque motor that delivers a staggering 450 inches to pounds of maximum torque, so looks are deceiving when you consider it’s compact size.
One of the most important things that the BHP42HW brings to the table is the battery power that Makita have revolutionised. The 18 volt LXT Lithium-Ion battery used in conjunction with the Energy-Star Optimum Charging System it offers less weighty battery packs as well as 2000 recharges. Shock absorbers in the battery pack help extend the life as well as a memory chip that communicates with the Charging System to charge most efficiently throughout the process.
Really if you are looking for the most energy efficient and longest running cordless drill, the Makita BHP452HW also offers all the power and versatility you would need for any job.
