Product description

The 18V LXT® Sub-Compact Brushless Driver-Drill (DDF487ZB, tool only) is a drilling and driving solution with significantly less weight. The 18V Sub-Compact Driver-Drill offers the size and weight of lower voltage tools, but with the performance, power, and compatibility of 18-Volt. It has an efficient brushless motor with two speed settings and dual L.E.D. lights to illuminate the work area. At only 5-7/8 in. long, it is a compact drilling and driving solution with superior comfort and handling. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita® 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

    I have older cordless Makita tools and my drill packed it in on me a few weeks ago so I bought this one. It is far superior to my original Makita drill. It smaller, lighter weight, more powerful and brushless. I’m very happy with it. Love that it is black in colour too!

    This product arrived in a clearly used condition. It was not in the original retail box and was missing several components. The item showed noticeable signs of prior use, including scuff marks and dirt. The overall quality of this item as received was unacceptable.
