A clever combination from Makita

March 9, 2023 Editor

Makita UK has added a new two-piece combo kit to its range of LXT products, to offer professionals a useful set of tools at good value.

The new DLX2460TJ Combo Kit features two of Makita’s most popular professional cordless power tools – the DTD153Z 18V LXT Brushless Impact Driver and DHP487Z 18V LXT Brushless Combi Drill.

Housed in a Type 3 Makpac Connector Case for easy storage and transportation, the kit also includes two 5.0Ah 18V LXT BL1850B Batteries and the DC18RC Fast Charger, which can be used across Makita’s LXT range.

The DTD153Z is an impact driver with 170Nm max torque, delivering a no-load speed of 3,400rpm and providing up to 3,600 impacts per minute – making it capable of driving screws up to 125mm into timber without a pilot hole and up to 30% faster than a conventional drill/driver.

Makita’s compact DHP487Z 18V LXT Brushless Combi Drill features variable speed control to deliver up to 1,700rpm, 25,500bpm and 40Nm maximum fastening torque for a wide range of drilling, fastening and hammer drilling applications. Weighing up to 1.7kg, this lightweight and portable combi drill is a versatile power tool that can handle a wide scope of applications. It also has a single sleeve keyless chuck for quick and easy bit changes with 20 torque settings, plus drill mode for added fastening control.

Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita says, “Our Combo Kits are incredibly popular with many different product configuration options available to suit individual requirements, applications and budget. What’s more, these kits offer significant savings when compared to buying the components individually, making these a much more economical purchase for end users. We have added the new DLX2460TJ 2-Piece Combo Kit to our line-up to offer even more choice, with a premium range of power tools that can tackle a wide variety of jobs on site. Plus, the kit includes two batteries and a fast charger which can be used across our entire LXT cordless platform – which now spans over 290 products.”
