The Makita DHP490Z 18V LXT Brushless Combi Drill (Body Only) is a compact, professional-grade cordless drill designed for drilling, screwdriving, and hammer drilling across wood, metal, and masonry. Powered by Makitas 18V LXT Li-ion platform and an efficient brushless motor, it delivers up to 65 Nm of torque with a mechanical 2-speed gearbox and impact function, giving trade users the power and control needed for everything from studwork and fixings to anchor holes in concrete. A 20-stage torque adjustment, variable speed trigger, and keyless 1.5-13 mm chuck allow quick bit changes and precise fastening, while eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT) enhances dust and water resistance for harsh site conditions. The lightweight 172 mm body, ergonomic rubber grip, and built-in LED job light make it ideal for overhead work and confined spaces. Supplied as a bare unit, the DHP490Z is fully compatible with all Makita 18V LXT batteries and chargers, making it an easy upgrade for existing LXT users.
