 Makita 1/2-inch hammer driver-drill Model BHP452Z

Makita BHP452Z Hammer Driver-Drill ImageBesides the durability, one of the most convenient features of this hammer driver / drill is the Shift-Lock drive system sleeve that quickly shifts from hammer drill to the driver mode. Not only is it smooth but is a quick time saver. The versatility of the hammer drill feature has 0-6,000 Blows Per Minute (BPM) in low speed and 0-22,500 BPM in high speed which allows tough work in drilling / driving into concrete and masonry work. The ergonomic design makes handling a snap, and with the handy belt clip feature it’s always within reach.

At just 4.2 lbs. with the battery handling is lightweight. The L.E.D. lighted feature makes those darkened areas easier to see, and I must mention how such a minimal feature can be so invaluable.

Makita Impact Driver ImageThis little powerhouse impact driver of this Makita LXT211 kit is probably the favorite piece of the combo. It is powerful with the Makita-built four-pole maximum torque motor that delivers 1,330 in.lbs. of torque, 2,300 RPM, and 3,200 impacts per minute.  At only It comes equipped with a phosphorescent bumper ring that makes it easy to find in dark spaces as well as a built-in L.E.D. light to illuminate the work surface. No more holding a flashlight in your teeth for that hard to see spot! Hey, we’ve all done it. The “one-touch” chuck with one-handed quick release for simple bit insertion makes working more efficient and the workday a little shorter.
