Newly-designed motor and gear ratio achieves more power and increases performance in continuous heavy-duty applications

Variable speed control by trigger allows you to adjust the speed to suit the application and material Another reason users will love this new model is that it’s approximately 14% smaller than the DHP481. Measuring just 178 x 81 x 248mm, it’s more likely to fit into compact spaces, thanks to the optimised gear assembly design. Impacts Per Minute and No-Load Speed Something else we love about the new model is the fact that it features XPT technology. XPT is a protective seal featured inside the drill, making it more resistant to dust and water and protecting the critical components inside. Because of this, people can use the drill outdoors or in harsh environments.Drilling Modes – screwdriving mode (rotation with clutch) for achieving an even consistent finish when fastening screws. Drilling mode (rotation only) achieving 130Nm max. torque. Hammer Drilling mode rotation with hammering) on the for drilling in masonry up to a maximum 16mm hole diameter. mechanical gears with an all-metal construction and metal housing for high durability and smooth power transfer in high load applications

Speed Mechanical Gearing – high speed mode produces 2,100rpm for rapid drilling speed while low speed produces high levels of torque to suit high load operation. While the new DHP486 combi hammer drill does look similar to the original DHP481, Makita has confirmed that it is the most robust drill in its class, thanks to the 130 Nm of torque it offers from its brushless motor. This allows the tightening of heavy-duty fasteners, for example, a 9 x 50mm lag bolt in screwdriver mode.

While the highly durable materials ensure this tool has unmatched durability, and will continue to perform in years to come.

The most compact drill in its class with a 178 mm head length for comfortable handling in tight spaces Some final things to know about the new DHP486 include the vibration level and k factor, and sound pressure level. When drilling metal, the vibration level is 2.5 m/s2 or less, whereas, for concrete, this is 8.0 m/s2. Similarly, the k factor when drilling metal is 1.5 m/s2, whereas this is 1.5 m/s2 when impact drilling into concrete. High Power Output – This model has been redesigned with a newly designed motor and gear ratio achieving not only more power but also increasing the performance in continuous heavy-duty applications.
