@@Cuttothechase i like the power for drilling in wood, but not for drilling in concrete. I dont like that the drill and hammerdrill are on the clutch. When u select drill, it easily slips into hammerdrill and vice versa
Hi, I have a beginner's question: when hammer drilling, should I push the drill bit all the way in the chuck until it butts against the back of it, or not?
Hi. I am not an expert on this either but yea that is what I do. I do use an sds drill for hard materials such as concrete. The sds goes through it easily.
On Specs..the 486 is the most powerful , but is the tool very taxing on your hands and wrists as it’s according to the specs 1kg heavier than the other models..!!!
Not at all. It is beautiful to use. There is no wondering if the torque will be enough. No jumping of the bit out. You actually hold it less than the others as it is so efficient.
@@Cuttothechase at the backside of the drill, where the motor is, it flashes white light or sparks when I start it on to test it. I dont know if it is something normal or it is a fault.
Very useful. I'm always wondering whether to go one model higher than my initial budget! When starting the 484 there seems to be quite a bit of torque twist. Do you think that would make accurate holding of the drill difficult in some surfaces by it going off target? Cheers.
Makita tools are rubbish, DON'T buy, battery drills, you pay say 80$ for a drill and rechargeable battery, battery dies, and 75$ just for a new battery, what a scam, its bin job...
There are different ranges. -$80 dollar drills are not going to be decent drills. The battery has to be LXT or 40volts. Buy the right tool for the right job.
@@Cuttothechase So Makita only make drills for the Pro market do they, nice, so then, why do they make them for the amateur market then,,,, that have crap batteries which are over priced, is it to attempt to push us into buying a new one every time, sounds little like a bit of built in redundancy going here, again? Good business practice, FOR THEM!
@normski262 no they make a home range and a professional range. Consider them light duty and heavy duty. I’ve used both and I wish I had done my research before purchasing. Also I wish I had read the instructions as they would have lasted longer too. The Makita home range is just like all the other big brand names, a compromise. I’m not sure if you’ve watched the video but it’s important to do the research before the purchase They do have 1 year guarantees .
@@Cuttothechase of course, but the batteries should last longer than about 4 charges, as I was only using it now and then, it was used about 6 or 7 times, drill is fine, but the batteries are dead, would not recharge. go and buy a new one and BANG 80%+ of an entire new drill inc the battery. thats the scam here..
@normski262 you’ll always need to keep some charge in those batteries. If you let them fully discharge then they will refuse to charge. I’ve done it myself. I have fewer batteries than tools so they are always being recycled. I feel your pain though.
Thanks for the video! I just ordered the 486, especially because of the power!
You will not be disappointed. When you get it, come back and tell me what you think please.
What do you think 1 year on?
@@CuttothechaseI think they'd be great if the gears meshed!
What did you mean the gears don’t
mesh. Does your one feel agricultural? These are full metal gearboxes on the more expensive ones.

Thanks very much.
It a addition buying drills
I was surprised at the difference
Great useful overview across the models, thanks
Thank you for appreciating it,
i want to replace my hammer drill sds withe the dhp486
hope it will manage to mix adhesive for tiling
It’s a pretty powerful beast of a machine but nice not tried mixing tiling adhesive yet.

Is it normal for DHP453 to flash light at the back of the drill or something's going wrong?
I’m not exactly sure what light you are talking about?

@@nadinma5560 it's normal, they are caused by the brushes in the motor.
Sorry. I forgot to get back. Yes little sparks are normal.
@@megyessiviktor5914 yep, they told me from the shop too, the same thing. Fortunately. But thank you for your comment. :)

No. You will be fine. Technique and good quality drills will make the difference.
Go higher!
Upgrade to 489 it’s a beast. The chuck is much better.
I’ve not seen that one but certainly one for the viewers to consider too.
I already have changed two chuck due to breakage.
