With a maximum torque of 65 Nm, 2-speed gearbox, 13 mm chuck, and integrated work LED, this complete kit includes 2 x 3.0 Ah batteries, a rapid charger, and a 74-piece accessory set in a MAKPAC case to start all drilling and screwdriving jobs immediately.

The Makita DHP490RFX3 is a hammer drill driver that combines power, versatility, and ergonomics on an 18V LXT cordless platform. The brushless motor ensures superior efficiency, extended run time, and prolonged useful life compared to brushed motor models. With a maximum torque of 65 Nm and 20 adjustment levels, you can precisely handle both delicate screwdriving and more demanding applications.

Equipped with a 2-speed mechanical gearbox, this tool helps optimize rotation based on power or speed requirements, while the option to activate or deactivate the hammer function makes it suitable for harder surfaces such as light masonry. The integrated LED light effectively illuminates the work area in low light conditions, ideal for confined spaces or shaded areas.

The Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) increases the tool's resistance to dust and water splashes, making it suitable even for more demanding construction site environments. The kit includes 2 x 3.0 Ah Li-Ion batteries, a rapid charger, and a 74-piece accessory set (drills, bits, inserts, etc.) housed in a MAKPAC case, offering a complete solution for professionals and advanced DIY enthusiasts.

The Makita DHP490RFX3 hammer drill driver is the perfect tool for everyday jobs: finish your furniture assembly and shelving projects to small holes with cutters in wood or metal. The 65Nm brushless motor reduces maintenance interventions and develops the necessary power for these tasks. The two gears allow you to select the ideal speed while the chuck opens to 13mm. Use the hammer function for drilling hollow bricks with small wall bits (we recommend using a maximum 10mm bit).
