Makita BHP451
$558.00
Released April, 2006
The Pros:Lighter weight than competitor's similar drills. Longer than average battery life compared to competitors (e.g. Bosch). Auxiliary handle provides excellent stability when drilling through tougher materials.
The Cons:Higher than average body gyration on lower speeds for drills of this type. LED light casts short bits into shadow when working in the dark, hard to see.

The 45 minute charger has built in fan to cool the battery and uses "active 3 control" for current, thermal and voltage control. The Makita built 4-pole maximum torque motor delivers 560 in. lbs. of torque with 0-1,700 RPM and 0-25,500 BPM. It is very compact at only 9-7/8" length and weighs only 4.9 lbs. for less operator fatigue. The ergonomic shape helps for comfort and even work pressure, while two L.E.D. lights help illuminate the work. The Makita BHP451 comes with two 18 volt batteries, 45-minute charger, screwdriver bits and a tool case, and is also sold as the BHP451Z as the tool only.
