Makita Combi Drill FAQs

Are combi drills worth it?

A combi drill is an all-round tool that combines hammer drilling action for challenging materials with precision drilling and driving for a wide range of tasks. If you regularly need to drill concrete, make pilot holes in wood, or secure fastenings and don’t want to buy separate tools, a Makita combi drill is definitely worth it.

What is better: Combi drill or impact driver?

Both tools do different things. A combi drill can handle precision and heavy-duty drilling while effectively driving screws. An impact driver is a specialised tool for fastenings only.

Can a combi drill be used as a screwdriver?

Yes, you can use a combi drill as a screwdriver. Your Makita combi hammer drill has robust and precision drilling settings, as well as torque settings for screw driving.

What is the lightest Makita combi drill?

A Makita brushless combi drill, like the DHP487Z, weighs less than 2kg. Its lightweight, compact design and brushless motor make it powerful, convenient, and comfortable to use for any challenging task.
