Being the next model along from the previously successful DHP456 drill, this new model (DHP482T1JW) features a 13mm keyless 3 jaw chuck. It is capable of drilling up to 38mm wide holes in wood, as well as 13mm wide holes in steel or masonry thanks to the included hammer function. A 5.09 amp-hour capacity lithium-ion battery is supplied that works with the 18v LXT platform. This allows the drill to run for long periods between charges, based on the high energy density of the Li-ion technology. Thanks to the two-speed mechanical gearbox, users can prioritise either power or speed. Speed itself can be adjusted easily by changing the trigger pressure.
