The verdictOur take

The DDF485 is an 18V LXT brushless drill driver, a 2-speed 50Nm tool at 1.1kg bare with a 13mm keyless chuck, 21 torque settings and 38mm in wood. It is the brushless counterpart to the brushed DDF482 at the same weight, and suits second fix, cabinet work and general driving where a light tool pays off. We rate it a tidy everyday choice; the DDF490 is similar at 50Nm and 1.0kg, and the DDF489 steps up to 73Nm.
