- Is this kit brushless?
- No. Despite the listing wording, the DHP458 drill and DTD152 driver use brushed motors. Makita's brushless equivalents are the DHP484 and DTD153.
- What is included in the box?
- The DHP458 combi drill, the DTD152 impact driver, two 5.0Ah Li-ion batteries, a charger and a Makpac Type 3 case.
- Do the batteries fit other Makita tools?
- Yes. The 18V LXT batteries fit the whole LXT range, including saws, grinders and garden tools.
- Is the drill good for masonry?
- Yes. The DHP458 has a hammer mode and enough torque for plugging and small anchor holes in brick, though it is not a replacement for an SDS rotary hammer.
- How does it compare with the DHP484 brushless kit?
- The brushless kit is lighter, quieter and more efficient, but this kit's drill has more low-speed torque and the two 5.0Ah batteries suit heavier use.
- Where is the Makita 18V LXT Brushless Twin Kit (DLX2145) cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $558.00, as of our latest check.
