Drill Makita DHP482RFJ 1900 RPM 1.8 kg Black, Blue

The Makita DHP482RFJ is a cordless pistol grip drill designed for general-purpose drilling and screwdriving. With an 18 V Lithium‑Ion power source and a maximum no-load speed of 1900 RPM, the tool combines compact dimensions and relatively low weight of 1.8 kg to deliver balanced handling and steady performance. It is suitable for routine tasks on wood and metal, offering maximum drilling capacities of 38 mm in wood and 13 mm in steel. The Blue and Black housing provides a clear visual identity while the pistol grip layout supports one-handed guiding and controlled torque application.

Advantages

The drill’s high idle speed enables faster hole drilling and efficient screw driving in a variety of materials. Its battery operation removes the constraint of a power cord and supports portability on job sites or in domestic settings. At 1.8 kg, the tool is light enough for overhead and extended use while still providing sufficient mass to stabilise drilling operations. The pistol grip design improves ergonomics and control, and the combination of drilling and screwdriving modes makes the unit versatile for mixed renovation and installation tasks.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in wood up to 38 mm diameter
• Drilling holes in steel up to 13 mm diameter
• Screwdriving and fastening tasks in furniture assembly and fittings
• General household repairs and light professional work
• Portable on-site use where corded power is not available

How to use

Before use, install a fully charged compatible 18 V Lithium‑Ion battery and select the appropriate drill bit or screwdriver bit for the task. Match the drill speed and torque settings to the material: lower speed and higher torque for screwdriving, higher speed for fast drilling in wood. Secure the workpiece and mark drilling positions, then start drilling with steady pressure and avoid forcing the tool. For metal drilling, use appropriate high‑speed steel or cobalt bits and a lubricant where applicable to extend bit life. After finishing, remove the battery and store the tool in a dry place.

Recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection when operating the drill. For best results, keep spare batteries charged to maintain continuous work, choose the correct bit type and size for the material, and allow periodic cooling during intensive use to protect motor and battery life.
