Beast of a drill
This is a Machine of a drill! Enormously refined and powerful so concentrate while using it or it may bite you with it’s enormous torque. It is easily as powerful as my corded drill that is multiple times the size of this. You can feel in your hand this is built to last indeed! Who needs a corded drill when you can have one of these! Top notch Makita, we’ll done!Read full review...

Beast of a drill
The best drill, very powerful and well built. Has got a light and battery gauge. A bit heavy but it needs to be to well built to handle its power. Recommend using the side handle to reduce risk ofinjury to wrist when drilling larger holesRead full review...

Amazing Makita DHP481Z costs a bit more but its worth it!
I bought this drill from uk planet tools Ltd. There service was superb! I initially had a fault with the battery which they sorted out immediately.
The drill is just what I wanted. Easy to use and powerful and it feels so solid. Makita seem to make there tools that are very well build and easy to operate.Read full review...

Good bit of kit
Strong, well built. You can feel the quality. Battery power indicator is a useful bonus, ensures you keep spare batteries on charge before the one your using goes flat. Adjustable handle is a bit excessive which I don't use anyway so not a criticism. Read full review...

Strong but heavy
When I bought it it was Makitas strongest drill for a good price.
One year later: To be honest... I almost never use the handle and it is a pain to store it. The handle is much bigger that makita other models.
The only time you would need the extra torque and the handle to protect from it is if you don't have a hammer drill or impact driver and want to do some really serious drilling.
It is a bit heavy so not something you would use for putting in normal screws. I use a much nimbler Festool for my everyday screwing needs instead.
If you do a lot of drilling with gig bits then it is a good choice.
If you drill holes in concrete --> u still need a hammar drill
If you are doing mostly screwing --> buy a impact driver (big screws) and/or smaller drill (small screws)
I would buy it again since I already have the other tools above and this will come handy someday... but if you are looking for something good and general purpose... you should probably think twice about your actual needs and buy a tool more suitable for that.Read full review...

Top quality Drill
Fantastic drill, much better than the cheaper Makita 18v drills, faster and more powerful
You get what you pay for!
