A very quick video review
We have looked over all the video reviews and found this great short presentation on this Makita power tool. It gives you an instant idea of what to expect as well as telling you all the features and spec in and easy to understand format.
I hope you enjoy watching it as I always think its much better to see a tool in action rather than just reading about it or seeing pictures. This guy is particularly good at explaining the features of the drill and he is well known for demonstrating Makita tools.

Their HQ is in Japan. Their Telford manufacturing plant is the only full-production facility for power tools in the UK and has been successfully running construction on many of our top line cordless power tools since 1991.
Makita believe that for a good tool you need a good motor, and Makita makes every effort to make sure their motors are of the best quality. They use premium grade steel to produce armature shafts and gears, and only steel of the highest grade is used.
They also complete quality control tests on each and every, machine that leaves their manufacturing plants.
Our Verdict on the Makita WZ DHP482 18V White Cordless Combi Drill
This is a bargain, super special offer on a top brand product. The drill is excellent and is the best value I have seen in a very long time.
Normally the white brand Makita drills come with a 2.5 ah battery and the blue one come with a 5 ah battery. As this is body only this doesn't matter as both will work.
I cant recommend this highly enough, it is the deal of the year as far as I am concerned.
