Makita 18v Cordless Hammer Drill, 3x 3.0ah batteries and Rapid charger.
Individual pricing well over $500, typical kit pricing is $370-$430 with only 2 batteries
Drill DHP454 - ~$100
Rapid Charger - ~$170
Batteries - ~$99ea
Just make sure you check the contents. My local Bunnings had 3 kits on the shelf, first 2 had all the batteries cleared out, i'd say some jerk grabbed them and stuffed them into another box.
Is this brushless ?
Not brushless, nope.
Same crap in my local bunnings with the batteries
Thanks, would be a good upcoming birthday gift for my old man.
Out of curiosity, would these or any Makita power drills, be "made in Japan"?
Just had a look, drill and charger are 'made in china'. Batteries are "cell made in japan, pack processed in china".
My impact driver is made in Japan.

$319 just for the skin though.
Unfortunately makita battery stealing is common at my local bunnings too. Every now and then my bunnings just sell the skins in the case without batteries or charger. I was advised that tradies doing a drive through end up throwing them into their toolbox.
Tax avoidance isn't enough?
Almost choked on my weeties when I read this
"Bunnings' ABN number used to avoid tax by dodgy tradies"
https://finance.nine.com.au/2017/08/02/10/15/bunnings-abn-us…
"Dodgy tradesmen are reportedly avoiding tax payments by quoting the ABN number of hardware giant Bunnings on their own personal invoices."
Just a note for reference, details say it's the DHP454 (BHP454) Drill.
Beware, Bunnings Makita gear is generally poorer quality stuff, made on the cheap for Bunnings exclusively. I'm sure there's some exceptions (such as tablesaws), but the drills are a good example of a similar model being made with cheaper parts in China.
Correct and incorrect. Bunnings mainly stock Makita's standard range and LXT cordless range as found in every other shop.
But they also have a couple of cheaper lower spec (non LXT compatible) cordless products that they stock and sell exclusively here.
2.4 kg…
Got an Ozito 900W Rotary Hammer Drill a week ago for $119 @ Bunnings. Perfect for stuff around the house. Couldn't be happier, 5 piece accessory kit included and 3 years replacement warranty.
Cheap drill sounds great…until a big masonry bit gets stuck and your wrist goes pop.
Scored one today for $270. Box was scuffed so I asked for a markdown and they did it
