This review is from: Bare-Tool Makita BHP454Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2-Inch Hammer Driver-Drill (Tool Only, No Battery) (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased this hammer driver drill in june '10 and used it this summer when renovating two apartments. I was sceptical to if a battery powered drill could produce enough power to drill in concrete and that sorts, but the BHP454 sure convinced me right from the start. It eats through concrete like butter, and the battery capacity is very good concidering the voltage and power drain from this type of job. The batteries charge in less than 30 minutes, and you'll probably not be able to drain a fresh battery before the next one is charged and ready, so you'll be able to work continously with this tool if you have two batteries. The torque adjustment functionality is also really nice, it enabled me to even assemble Ikea furniture without running the screws through the wood. This drill might be a little heavy for furniture assembly, but it's really no problem if you don't have smaller drills and still want to make the job quick; Just reduce the torque and you're ready to go.

I definately recommend this tool to anyone who does medium or larger projects and need a tool that delivers enough power with the convenience of being cordless.

This review is from: Bare-Tool Makita BHP454Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2-Inch Hammer Driver-Drill (Tool Only, No Battery) (Tools & Home Improvement)

I ended up getting the BHP454Z as a bare tool because I couldn't find a combo kit that included this Hammer/Drill Driver with the new BTD 144 impact driver. Overall the BHP454Z is a great tool. The Makita battery life is great, and its extremely powerful. I used it the first day I got it to drill about twenty 3/8" holes about 2" deep, to mount shelves in a very thick concrete wall in my garage for a few shelves, and it did so relatively easily, didn't produce virtually any heat compared to similar hammer drills, and did the entire job on a single battery.

It's no replacement for a larger dedicated large hammer drill, but for small to medium jobs, it works great.

This review is from: Bare-Tool Makita BHP454Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2-Inch Hammer Driver-Drill (Tool Only, No Battery) (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this hoping I could share the BL 1815 battery from my regular drill. Nope there is a plastic blocker that prevents mounting the smaller 1815 battery. You must use the larger BL 1830 battery with this drill. Since I don't have enough hammer-drill needs to justify buying an $80 battery just for this drill I sent it back and got the BHP452Z model which does accept my battery. Too bad, since this one costs the same and is obviously more rugged, has the side handle and a depth stop rig.
