Take on demanding drilling and fastening tasks with the Makita DHP484ZJ 18V Cordless Brushless Impact Driver Drill. Designed for professional users, this versatile cordless tool combines powerful performance, compact construction and advanced motor technology to handle drilling, hammer drilling and screwdriving applications with confidence.
The DHP484ZJ features a high-efficiency brushless motor that delivers up to 65Nm maximum torque. By eliminating carbon brushes, the motor operates more efficiently, generates less heat and requires less routine maintenance. Its electronic motor control also optimises power delivery according to the application, helping maximise battery efficiency and extend operating time per charge.
With three operating functions, the drill provides the flexibility required for a wide range of tasks. Standard drilling mode is suitable for materials such as wood and metal, hammer drilling mode supports drilling into suitable masonry, and screwdriving mode provides controlled fastening with adjustable clutch settings.
The mechanical two-speed gearbox allows users to select between low-speed, high-torque operation and high-speed drilling. First gear operates from 0–500rpm, while second gear delivers 0–2000rpm. This provides the control needed for demanding fastening tasks and faster drilling applications.
For masonry drilling, the hammer mechanism delivers up to 30,000 impacts per minute in high gear. This additional impact action helps the drill work through suitable masonry materials when paired with an appropriate drill bit.
The drill incorporates 21 clutch settings and a dedicated drilling mode, allowing users to adjust fastening torque according to the screw size and workpiece material. This helps reduce overtightening and provides greater control during repetitive screwdriving tasks.
A durable aluminium gear housing and all-metal gear construction provide strength and reliability for regular professional use. Meanwhile, the compact body, measuring approximately 172mm or 182mm in length depending on configuration, improves manoeuvrability when working in restricted spaces.
Makita's eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT) improves resistance to dust and water ingress, helping protect the tool during demanding working conditions. The integrated battery protection circuit also helps prevent damage caused by overloading, over-discharging and overheating.
For improved visibility, the DHP484ZJ features built-in dual LED lights with pre-glow and afterglow functions. These illuminate the working area before and after operation, making it easier to position the drill accurately in poorly lit spaces.
An ergonomic soft-grip handle provides comfortable handling, while the conveniently positioned reversing switch allows quick changes between forward and reverse rotation. The electric brake helps stop the chuck promptly after releasing the trigger, improving control and productivity.
Whether installing fittings, assembling furniture, drilling into timber, working with metal or completing suitable masonry applications, the Makita DHP484ZJ offers a practical combination of power, durability and precision for professional tradespeople and demanding DIY users.
The Makita DHP484ZJ features a brushless motor designed to deliver efficient power and extended service life.
Unlike conventional brushed motors, the brushless design eliminates carbon brushes, reducing maintenance requirements and allowing the motor to operate more efficiently.
Electronic motor control adjusts power delivery to match the changing torque and speed demands of the application. According to Makita, this technology can provide up to 50% longer runtime per charge compared with conventional motor technology under suitable conditions.
The DHP484ZJ delivers up to 65Nm maximum torque, providing the power required for demanding drilling and fastening applications.
Its specified fastening torque is 54Nm in hard applications and 30Nm in soft applications, allowing users to work effectively with different fasteners and materials.
The drill also provides a maximum lock torque of 60Nm, reflecting the machine's robust torque capability.
The Makita DHP484ZJ combines three essential functions in one cordless tool.
This versatility makes the drill suitable for professional installers, builders, maintenance teams and general workshop applications.
The drill features mechanical two-speed gearing that allows users to match the operating speed to the application.
The variable speed trigger provides additional control within the selected gear, allowing smoother starting and more accurate drilling or fastening.
The DHP484ZJ features a hammer drilling function designed for suitable masonry applications.
Its impact mechanism delivers up to 7500 impacts per minute in low gear and 30,000 impacts per minute in high gear.
Combined with an appropriate masonry drill bit, this function provides effective drilling performance in suitable stone and masonry materials.
The drill features 21 adjustable clutch settings that provide greater control during screwdriving applications.
These settings allow users to select an appropriate fastening torque for different screw sizes and workpiece materials.
This helps reduce the risk of overtightening screws, damaging fastener heads or driving screws too deeply into softer materials.
The Makita DHP484ZJ incorporates all-metal gears and a durable aluminium gear housing for improved transmission strength and reliability.
This robust construction helps the drill withstand regular professional use and demanding drilling conditions.
The metal gearing also supports efficient power transfer from the motor to the chuck.
The drill features a convenient 13mm keyless chuck that allows users to change compatible drill bits and driving accessories without a separate chuck key.
This simplifies switching between drilling and screwdriving applications and helps reduce interruptions during work.
The DHP484ZJ combines powerful performance with a compact body measuring approximately 172mm or 182mm in length, depending on configuration.
Its ergonomic soft-grip handle provides a comfortable holding surface and helps improve control during operation.
The compact design makes the drill particularly useful when working inside cabinets, between structural components or in other restricted spaces.
Two integrated LED lights illuminate the work area, improving visibility during drilling and fastening.
The pre-glow and afterglow functions provide illumination before and after the trigger is operated, helping users position the tool accurately.
This feature is especially useful when working in cupboards, ceiling spaces and poorly lit installation areas.
Makita's eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT) improves resistance to dust and water ingress during operation in demanding environments.
This protective design makes the drill practical for construction and installation work where dust and moisture may be present.
Although XPT provides improved environmental resistance, the tool is not waterproof and should not be exposed to conditions beyond the manufacturer's recommendations.
The integrated electric brake helps stop chuck rotation promptly when the trigger is released, improving operator control and productivity.
The battery protection circuit helps protect the tool and compatible batteries against overloading, over-discharging and overheating.
The system can automatically interrupt power when the battery charge becomes too low, helping prevent excessive discharge.
