The Makita BHP452 is a really great drill because not only is it a driver-drill, it's also a hammer-drill as well. If you're the person that often uses both types of drills, then you might want to kill two birds with one stone and just purchase the Makita BHP452HW. This particular Makita is great for drilling into masonry and concrete, fastening anchors, woodworking, carpentry, and anything else that you need a durable, powerful drill for.

Coming equipped with a 4-pole motor and 2 separate speed settings, the Makita BHP452 cordless drill delivers sufficient power when needed. Operating at 450 inch pounds of max torque, there's not much that this drill can't handle. You can then tone it down to the lighter speed setting when you're working on an easier project that doesn't need as much torque and power.

Due to the Makita BHP452 weighing only 3.6 pounds and coming in at a length of 8-3/4 inches, this drill is also great for squeezing into tighter areas that a lot of other drills can't reach. If you find yourself working in small spaces often, this Makita is perfect for you.

Battery life and charge time is critical when choosing a cordless drill and the Makita BHP452HW is superior in this area. The 18-V Li-Ion batteries that it comes with last for a long time, and even when they run out of juice, they recharge in about 15 minutes. I don't know of many other brands of cordless drills that charge that quickly. Another benefit is you get two batteries instead of just one so you can always have the extra one ready.

Several other features I really enjoy about this Makita cordless drill are the Ergonomic grip design and the L.E.D light. The unique grip design makes sure that your hand stays comfortable while you're drilling into tough material, and the L.E.D light is perfect for working in dark spaces.

So if you're in the market for a new drill and you need either a hammer or driver-drill, or both, I think you will really enjoy the Makita BHP452HW.
