Makita Cordless Hammer Drills, 18v, Compact Lithium-Ion, Cordless 1/2" Hammer Driver-Drill Kit - BHP452HW

This new Compact Lithium-Ion cordless Hammer Driver-Drill adds to the already extensive LXT Series of cordless tools featuring 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Battery Technology, a breakthrough in cordless that delivers more power, less weight and better engineering.

“Once again, Makita has set the standard for compact Lithium-Ion cordless tools with the new BHP452HW Cordless Hammer Driver-Drill,” said Ethan Haughawout, Makita associate product manager for cordless products. “It started last year with our best-selling compact Lithium-Ion impact driver and driver-drill, and the tradition of excellence continues with this new compact hammer driver-drill.”

The new Makita BHP452HW is unique in both design and performance. The 18 volt/1.5 Amp Hour (Ah) Compact Lithium-Ion battery reaches full charge in just 15 minutes, four times faster than the competition. The Makita-built motor delivers 450 in .lbs. of torque in a compact design weighing only 3.6 lbs, the best power-to-weight ratio of any compact hammer driver-drill on the market. And the BHP452HW features the new black and white exterior design, distinguishing this compact model from Makita’s top-of-the-line teal product in the LXT Series.

The BHP452HW has a variable 2-speed motor, with 400 revolutions-per-minute (RPM) and 0-6,000 blows-per-minute (BPM) in low speed, and 1,500 RPM/0-22,500 BPM in high speed.

The BHP452HW Compact cordless Hammer Driver-Drill is powered by a Makita-built 4-pole motor design, which generates energy on the magnetic field every 90º (not 180º), and is engineered with dual steel ball bearings. The result is more efficient power in a compact size. At only 3.6 pounds, the BHP452HW has less weight, and the ergonomic shape fits like a glove with even pressure to deliver better control and reduced operator fatigue.

Like other products in the LXT series, the BHP452HW comes equipped with built-in high impact L.E.D. lights that illuminate the work area. It’s ideal for professional trade users who are drilling holes into wood or masonry, and general contractors who require a best-in-class engineered compact cordless hammer driver-drill with less weight.

The BHP452HW is powered by Makita’s cordless 18V Compact Lithium-Ion Battery Technology and Rapid Optimum Charging System, a breakthrough in cordless technology producing 430% total lifetime work with two-and-a-half times more battery cycles than the traditional Ni-Cd batteries. The Rapid Optimum Charger is Energy Star rated for its charging efficiency, and will charge a Makita 1.5 Ah Lithium-Ion battery in just 15 minutes.

Model BHP452HW is a kit that includes two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion (1.5 Ah) batteries, Rapid Optimum Charger, Phillips/slotted drill bit, battery cover, and a case.
