Makita DHP489Z 18V Li-ion Cordless Brushless Hammer Driver Drill – Skin Only

When the job demands more grunt, more speed, and more staying power, the Makita DHP489Z is the drill that delivers. Built with an improved brushless motor and optimised gear assembly, this compact beast puts out a massive 110Nm peak torque while still weighing only 1.45kg.

That’s serious power-to-weight performance, making it perfect for heavy-duty drilling in timber, steel, and masonry. Whether you’re ripping through framing with a 51mm self-feed bit, punching holes in steel, or setting fixings into brick, the DHP489Z gets it done faster and cleaner.

Engineered with Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), it shrugs off dust and water — so it’s ready for whatever the jobsite throws at it. With its 2-speed transmission, high-speed wood drilling capability, and compact 175mm body, this drill balances pure muscle with control and maneuverability.

At Cornwells Mitre 10, we back the tools that keep tradies productive, and the DHP489Z is a top-tier choice for anyone needing serious performance without compromise.
