Makita DHP482RM1J Combi 18v 4Ah Black & White Drill Cordless LXT Li-ion

Product Information

Mmm ho comprato 2 avvitatori e 2 batterie avviatatori linea classica, le batterie bianche…. Ora le 4 batterie che ho nere me le do in faccia dato che non sono compatibili anche se tutto 18v If you don’t belive, can you tell me why model df330 you can buy it in teal version and with white version even in pink versio and always the batteries are 1.3Ah in the kit! Length is usually the determining factor for compact tools but the compact battery does shorten the tools overall height when used with the compact battery.

EDIT & Disclosure: This article is discussing the differences in color of Makita 18V Power Tools here in the USA. What is discussed here is specific to the North American variants of these Makita power tools. I understand that in other parts of the world Makita offers an assortment of colors for their power tools. These larger capacity batteries are roughly twice the physical size and are also offer twice the runtime than compact 1.5 ah batteries (longer runtime if they are 4.0 and 5.0 ah) (fact: different battery form factor and capacity). My experiences with Makita drill are that any with the plastic gearbox housing are a waste of time as soon as the drill / gearbox gets warm the bearing race held in the plastic gearbox develops play in the housing.

THE LATEST

Once again, this article has to do with the difference between white and teal Makita 18V cordless tools here in the USA. I spoke with Wayne H. the communications manager for Makita and asked him what the differences were between the white and teal 18v models. His response was that Makita makes only heavy duty tools and the white models were their “compact” models with compactness and lightweight in mind.

Improved ergonomic soft rubber grip design for vibration absorption and comfortable operation features re-contoured rear grip portion and ribbed grip for improved hold Makita is a global brand of professional power tools and accessories, renowned for quality and performance. Whether it's a small and lightweight drill driver or a large, heavy duty and high power hammer drill, you can count on Makita to provide a drill that works. White Makitas are good tools (especially compared to most), but you can only call them the lower end of the Makita spectrum since they make a lot of tools also and make some really heavy duty versions. I don't know about Canada, but in the US the full line of Makita tools also includes teal tools that are identical to the white ones but just come with larger batteries. The teal versions of the white ones have the same exact tool specs, just different batteries. The rest of my Makita gear is blue bodied and other than being newer and therefore brushless seems of similar good quality. Where did you buy it? Big box stores like Screwfix get Makita to make them a batch of drills to a price so they can sell them cheaper. To keep the cost low Makita might use lighter duty components inside, giving a lower spec drill! Often if you google the model number on a Screwfix drill you'll discover that its only available from the Kingfisher group stores. The model number often has an extra letter or 2 added at the end to distinguish it.

So, the size of the battery can be equated to the size of the gas tank, as in how long it will last. It shouldn't have any effect on the amount of power coming out of it until it's nearly empty. Take any battery off when it's feeling the strain and replace it with a freshly charged one and you notice the difference. If you swap a fully charged 1.5 and a 5.0 though, they should draw exactly the same when fully charged.
