Good deal on Makita drill if you don't need the 'BL' on the side

[EalingBadger]

FFX are doing a good deal on old stock of a Makita drill at the moment:

Makita DHP453Z 18v Li-Ion Combi Drill Bare Unit - https://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product/Makita-Dhp453Z-0088381661287-18V-Li-Ion-Combi-Drill-Bare-Unit

It's cheap because it does not have a brushless (BL) motor.

It would make a good second drill if you already own Makita batteries and chargers and are not bothered whether a drill has a brushless motor or not.

FFX don't charge postage, so the price you see on the web page is the total delivered price you pay.

Why do you hate the term brushless?

 

[ferg]

I guess it's a bit like calling an electric car Hydrocarbonless.

or a fox with no tail. like are there any manx foxes about?

 

[sam400]

how about electronically commutated?

Regarding the drill better to pay a bit more for the 458 - really good drill for the money

agree'.. it's murder getting coarse hair out of your canines. (need to groom our dogs every week). think that one would have been good for a carry on film. .

Could have got away with "Carry on Grooming" back in the 60's but not in todays climate........

Trigger was brushless for a while, till he had a new head fitted, or was that a new handle?
