The verdictOur take

The DHP492 is Makita's highest-torque 18V LXT brushless combi at 141Nm, a 2-speed drill with 16mm masonry and 50mm wood capacity at 1.7kg bare. It is the top of Makita's mainstream LXT combi range for power. We rate it the pick for LXT owners who want maximum torque on the 18V platform; for even more capability, the 40V XGT HP001G is the step up.
