Makita DLX2537ST 18V LXT Brushless Twin Kit - DHP490 Combi Drill and DTD153 Impact Driver with 2 x 5.0Ah Batteries

Summary

The Makita DLX2537ST is an 18V LXT two-piece brushless combo kit combining the DHP490 Combi Drill and the DTD153 Impact Driver, supplied with two 5.0Ah batteries, a DC18SD charger, and a Makpac Type 3 carry case. Designed for trade professionals and serious users, both tools deliver high torque, reduced maintenance, and extended runtime courtesy of Makita's brushless motor technology. The kit represents a cost-effective way to add two essential cordless tools to a compatible LXT battery platform.

Features

• DHP490 brushless combi drill delivers up to 65 Nm maximum torque for demanding drilling and fastening tasks in wood, metal, and masonry.
• Mechanical 2-speed gearing on the DHP490 offers a high-speed mode for light-duty applications and a low-speed mode for high-torque heavy-duty work.
• 20 adjustable torque settings on the DHP490 provide precise fastening control across a wide range of materials and fixings.
• DTD153 impact driver produces up to 170 Nm of fastening torque with a no-load speed of 3,400 rpm and up to 3,600 impacts per minute.
• High percussive output of the DTD153 drives screws significantly faster than a conventional drill/driver, eliminating the need for pilot holes even in hardwood.
• Both tools feature brushless motors for improved energy efficiency, longer runtime, and reduced maintenance requirements.
• eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT) on the DHP490 provides engineered resistance against dust and water ingress for use in harsh site conditions.
• Built-in LED work light with pre-glow and afterglow functions illuminates the workpiece for improved visibility in confined or low-light spaces.
• Compact and lightweight profiles on both tools minimise operator fatigue during extended use - DHP490 weighs just 1.7 kg with battery.
• Compatible with the full Makita 18V LXT battery ecosystem, offering flexibility across a wide tool range.
