Product Description

Makita DHP485Z 18V Brushless Hammer Driver Drill – Compact Professional Performance

The Makita DHP485Z is a high-efficiency 18V LXT cordless hammer driver drill, precision-engineered for trade professionals who require a balance of compact ergonomics and robust power. At the core of this tool is an advanced Brushless Motor, which eliminates carbon brushes to run cooler and more efficiently, delivering up to 50% longer runtime per battery charge. With a maximum torque of 50Nm and a remarkably short overall length of just 182mm, the DHP485Z provides superior maneuverability in confined spaces without compromising the structural force needed for heavy-duty fastening and masonry drilling.

Built for the rigors of the modern job site, the DHP485Z features eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT), providing an advanced series of seals and internal channels designed to divert dust and moisture away from critical electronic components. This brushless hammer drill offers a three-mode versatility—encompassing hammer drilling, standard drilling, and screwdriving—facilitated by a mechanical 2-speed gearbox. For professional results, the 21-stage torque settings allow for pinpoint precision when working with delicate materials, while the twin LED job light ensures clear visibility in low-light environments.

Advanced Ergonomics & Operational Control

The Makita DHP485Z is designed with an emphasis on operator comfort and reduced fatigue, weighing only 1.8kg with a battery. The slim, ergonomically contoured rubber grip provides maximum control and vibration dampening during high-torque applications. Whether you are drilling 13mm holes in masonry or 38mm in timber, the variable speed trigger and 13mm single-sleeve keyless chuck ensure rapid bit changes and total control over the 1,900 RPM output, making it an indispensable 18V cordless drill for high-frequency professional use.

Key Features and Performance Benefits:

Maintenance-Free Brushless Motor: Delivers higher power efficiency and significantly longer tool life.
Compact 182mm Chassis: Optimized for use in tight cavities and overhead applications.
XPT (Extreme Protection Technology): Enhanced dust and moisture resistance for harsh outdoor environments.

Mechanical 2-Speed Gearing: High-speed mode for rapid drilling; High-torque mode for heavy fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main benefit of the Brushless motor in the DHP485Z?

The brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use. Because there are no brushes causing friction, the motor stays cooler, lasts longer, and provides significantly more runtime per charge compared to traditional brushed models.

Can this drill be used for drilling into concrete or brick?

Yes. The DHP485Z features a dedicated 'Hammer' mode with an impact rate of up to 28,500 ipm, making it capable of drilling up to 13mm holes in masonry and brickwork.

Is the DHP485Z compatible with all Makita 18V batteries?

It is compatible with all Makita 18V LXT Lithium-ion batteries (e.g., 3.0Ah, 4.0Ah, 5.0Ah, and 6.0Ah). It is not compatible with 'G-Series' or 12V Max batteries.

What does 'XPT' stand for and why do I need it?

XPT stands for Extreme Protection Technology. It is a protective seal inside the tool that prevents dust, debris, and water droplets from damaging the internal circuitry, which is vital for use on exposed construction sites.

Why is the 50Nm torque rating important?

50Nm provides the high-performance force required for most trade applications, such as driving long coach screws or using large spade bits in timber, while still being manageable enough for precision work.

Does this model (DHP485Z) include a battery or charger?

No. The 'Z' suffix denotes it is a 'Skin Only' tool. This is ideal if you already own Makita 18V LXT batteries and chargers, as it allows you to expand your kit at a lower cost.

What is the difference between this and the DHP481 heavy-duty model?

The DHP485 is a 'compact' professional model. While it has less peak torque than the larger DHP481 (115Nm), it is significantly lighter and shorter, making it much better for general trade use and working in confined spaces.

Is the chuck made of metal or plastic?

The DHP485Z features a high-durability 13mm keyless chuck designed for professional use, ensuring a strong grip on bits and long-term reliability in industrial settings.

Does it have a belt clip?

Yes, it comes with a standard Makita belt clip that can be mounted on either the left or right side of the tool for convenient access while working at heights.

Do you offer trade pricing for large-scale tool fleet upgrades?

Yes, Freshway Supplies provides competitive trade and bulk pricing for construction firms and facility management groups. Contact us for a specialized quote.

They earned it! I hardly ever leave reviews, but Abe absolutely deserves this one.

I rang ready to spend nearly $2,000. Unfortunately, the item wasn’t in stock for pickup and would take seven days to arrive. Abe said he’d call me back.

Five minutes later, he had found one in stock at another business in Parramatta — and negotiated the same discount for me there.
He had just lost the sale, yet he was genuinely happy he could help. That says everything.

This is how an excellent reputation is earned: day by day, customer by customer. Could not possibly ask for more.
