Makita DHP486Z 18V Li-Ion Cordless Brushless Heavy Duty Hammer Driver Drill – Skin Only

When only the biggest, toughest, most powerful drill will do, the Makita DHP486Z steps up. Packing an insane 141Nm of peak torque and a blistering 2,100rpm top speed, this brushless hammer driver drill is built to smash through the hardest jobs without breaking a sweat.

With the power to drive a 152mm hole saw and 76mm self-feed bit straight through timber, the DHP486Z is the beast of the LXT range — purpose-built for tradies who demand maximum drilling capacity, rapid performance, and rock-solid durability.

Despite its brute strength, it’s still compact at just 178mm long, making it the shortest and most comfortable heavy-duty drill in its class. Pair that with a high-durability aluminium gear housing and all-metal 2-speed gearing, and you’ve got a tool that won’t quit, even in the toughest site conditions.

At Cornwells Mitre 10, we recommend the DHP486Z for carpenters, builders, and any pro who needs the ultimate mix of torque, speed, and reliability — the true heavy-hitter of the Makita hammer drill range.
