MAKITA DHP453RAE LI-ION Combi Drill 18V

This is a great combi drill. It has plenty of power so don’t struggle when drilling into brick or any hard materials. I haven’t had mine for very long, so I’m currently unsure on how long they last but so far I can’t fault it.

Good combi drill used before good gear. Cheap for what you get in it good lasting batteries aswell. Would defo recommend to anyone willing to buy the makita power tools

Wouldn’t recommend for anyone who does installation work too light weight for holesaws and arbor drilling, go for the next drill up it’s much more powerful and robust

This is a very good drill but it’s not as powerful as the next one up to this model this drill is perfect for wood aluminium I haven’t used it on anything else as yet but it’s perfect for those things anyway

I have this and the next one up this is ok but there is a clear difference between them the metal chuck is far better and but build feels far better however at this price point it is a good combo drill had mine 6 years and still going strong

Had this drill for a few months previously had a DeWalt on and this has so much power with a 3 amp battery it will go through anything walls plaster bored it can be used with ease and as a hammer drill for softer walls

Really good value for money, not too heavy and battery life is good,all the spares are easy to get a cheap... charge time isn't too bad either

this is a great bit of kit for the price and all the batteries are inter changeable with other makita tools cant go to far wrong with this drill

Having got this drill / driver within a kit that I bought 4 years ago it’s still going very well.
The drill is quite powerful as not the largest drill in this range so a real plus point.
I only recently changed brushes in cordless and now as good as new
Used for a variety of tasks.
Would definitely recommend having in kit.

It is a great combi drill, I’ve had it for around 7 years and use it on a regular basis, only thing I would say is to upgrade the battery, I have upgraded to the 5amp and it’s much better and lasts a lot longer

sturdy drill, is my main use go to drill and replaced the Hitachi one that served me so well (still does if needed). knocked it about, covered in dust and never fails. upgraded battery that is interchangeable on other makita products, you cant go wrong

Had for several years,Robust, batteries can be used on other Makita tools, and upgraded to 5.0 . When registered the drill Makita repair free of charge if any faults develop. had good customer service repair in days.

Had this drill for a couple of years now, all been good better than previous drills I have owned. Upgraded the batteries to 5.0ah which makes a difference.

Makita used to be a good brand. Unfortunately don't expect the new Makita tools to last much more than 1 1/2 years before they give up the ghost. Customer service also dire. Had impact driver and drill both faulty within 18 months and because I didn't tell them I bought them - offered no help whatsoever. Over 30 years we have bought Makita brand - now switched.

Had this for a few years and never let me down, great all round drill. Price is competitive. It has lasted longer than any previous brands used.

Brilliant all round drill I've owned this drill for 18 months and I highly recommend, great value for money and easy to use, I wouldn't hesitate on buying another one when I need to.

Great still. Really recommend for any tradesmen. I want the pack. I usually use my Stanley fatmax but this was a upgrade.

I really recommend buying a belt for it

I have this as part of a multitool kit and I am very impressed by the power it has, also the battery life is very good. Great tool and I would highly recommend it.

I’ve had this drill for 2 years now doing various work. It’s never skipped a beat and it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it. The three functions in the one drill makes it the first go to item allowing you to drill a wall and screw into it within seconds.

Ideal for a first drill or DIY it will get the easy basic jobs done, the newer brushless models are miles above this, worth spending the extra if your going to use it daily.

I've had mine for quite a few years now, and apart from it's stuck on hammer, it's still going strong. Comes with a handy light when drilling, and a bracket so you can clip it on your belt.

On to my second one. Does the job and stands up to heavy use. Handy having the light on the front .

Great drills and had used makita for years without fault. Just managed to break the 2 i had in quick succession so replaced with panasonic. Would definitely recommend these as they are a powerful drill and make light work of the biggest jobs.

Other than the costly expense to batteries I really do think that the top of the range makita brushless models can't be beaten on the market

Excellent drill, high speed lots of power, batteries last hours. Wouldn't get another brand. Top quality drill

Great drill! I've used this on many of metal roofing jobs, the power doesn't last as long but it does what it's supposed to. I don't like the plastic chuck would prefer metal. Would recommend.

Great bit of kit. Good build quality as always, tough and durable. Battery quick to charge and lasts a while.

Great piece of kit does what its ment to even copes with smaller core cutters through brick and concrete

Certainly a good drill, does as it should when it should. No problems as yet and gets a good amount of working!

Not a bad drill I have two they vary in strength and features such as metal chucks and brushless motors but avoid using the cheapest ones as they would struggle when put to hard use but not bad value for money

We have couple of these hand drills they not the best built tools but for what I want them to do there perfect.
There cheaper than the better brands and if you looking for lightish use then it be good

Really good drill, powerful and robust seems to breeze through everyday tasks with no problems. Not badly priced

The Makita brand has always been synonymous with quality tooling and this still is no exception. Used and abused virtually daily. It just works!

Brilliant bit of kit

Been using this for around a year in the workshop, gets constant abuse daily and is still going strong.

Great piece of kit

Found mine to be very good..puts in 4 inch screws no problem.
The torque settings just gone wrong after 5 years hard use,,,buying another..

Always had these drills. Great quality and great price.
