Now in 2021, Makita have seemingly announced the launch of the DHP486 18v LXT combi hammer drill and DDF486 drill driver in some countries. Stats for both the combi drill and drill driver are the same, including RPM range (0 – 2,100rpm), lock torque (125Nm 130Nm), size (178 x 81 x 248mm) and majority of features. The new DHP486 combi drills will eventually replace the DHP481Z and DHP481RTJ, which of course were previously considered the best in the range.
