The verdictOur take

The Makita DDA460 is a twin 18V (36V) LXT brushless stud & joist angle drill, with 136Nm, two speeds up to 1,400rpm, a 13mm keyed chuck and a 133mm head length, in a case. It takes self-feed bits to 118mm, hole saws to 159mm and augers to 50mm, at 4.7kg bare. We rate it the heavy-duty LXT choice for big holes through joists; the DDA450 is far lighter at 2.9kg for smaller holes, and the DA001G is the 40V XGT equivalent with the same capacities.

Tool weight worked out by adding each pack's weight to the bare tool, using the makers' figures. It takes two batteries, so each figure includes two packs. The maker's own with-battery figure can differ slightly. We may earn a commission on retailer links.
