Makita Hammer Drills, 18v, LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless, 1/2" Hammer Driver-Drill - BHP454

The new cordless hammer driver-drill adds to Makita’s 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. The new BHP454 combines high torque and high speed in a compact cordless package with less weight.

“Makita’s engineers built the new BHP454 faster, with 25 percent more speed in low gear than our previous model,” said Ethan Haughawout, associate product manager – cordless products. “We added more speed, but still maintained our maximum torque of 560 inch-pounds. This high-speed and high-torque combination makes the new BHP454 a true work-horse hammer driver-drill for any serious tradesman.”

The Makita-built 4-pole maximum torque motor delivers 560 in. lbs. of efficient torque. The efficient two-speed design offers plenty of speed (0-400/0-1,700 RPM) and blows-per-minute (0-6,000/0-25,500) for a wide range of drilling, driving and hammering tasks.

The Makita BHP454 comes with a patented Shift-Lock™ drive system that quickly shifts between three modes: “hammer drill”, “driver” and “drill.” Its 2-speed design covers a wide range of drilling and driving applications, allowing the user to carry one tool on the job instead of two. The versatile BHP454 is a great replacement for the standard driver-drill on the job site.

At only 4.9 lbs. and with an ergonomic shape that fits like a glove, the BHP454 is compact with less weight, and is designed for reduced operator fatigue. The BHP454 is also equipped with a built-in twin L.E.D. light that illuminates the work area for more efficient work, single sleeve ˝” keyless chuck, a convenient belt clip and bit holder, and an anti-slip rubberized side grip.

Some of this cordless drill’s many applications include fastening medium sized anchors, drilling into masonry, and even setting small sized anchors into concrete. This hammer driver-drill can be utilized in many different areas such as HVAC, residential construction, remodeling, woodworking, plumbing, electrical, and more. It’s ideal for any pro contractor who requires a best-in-class engineered cordless hammer driver-drill.

The cordless BHP454 is powered by Makita’s 18V 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 when compared to traditional 18V Ni-Cd batteries. The Rapid Optimum Charger is ENERGY STAR rated for its charging efficiency, and will charge a Makita 3.0Ah Lithium-Ion battery in just 30 minutes.

Model BHP454 is a kit that includes two 18V LXT Lithium-ion (3.0 Ah) batteries, 30 minute Rapid Optimum Charger, belt clip, side-handle, depth gauge, 2 double-ended bits (Phillips and slotted) and tool case
