Normally $449. Lowest price since March 2024 according to PriceHipster. Good starter kit if you want to invest in the Makita ecosystem.
I would personally sell the slow charger that comes with it and buy an unused dual rapid charger from Gumtree/FB market.
Good catch. It's the same kit. Apparently PriceHipster doesn't show that price for some reason.
This or this ryobi combo which I have been eyeing off https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-18v-one-hammer-drill-and-i…
Not brushless, comes with only one battery, not really comparable.
Also, do you really need an impact driver? If not, buy a (better) hammer drill kit such as this one.
This is a solid drill.
During the tools warehouse sale managed to price beat the more expensive set (700$) with 2 x 5amp battery and impact/drill set which also includes a redemption to 500$. Will be selling 2X battery which will bring the overall down to 320.
I have the OP set. but I think I might have got it for less but that was a couple of years ago (so doesn’t count). Perfectly good for my DIY habits. In fact best drill set I have ever owned, if not used. Also, great bag.
That said I was helping a mate do some flooring prep before rolling out carpet and this hammer drill just didn’t have the torque to drive a screw into hardwood joists compared with his higher spec makita.
So your deal sounds awesome. Although I will confess I would never get around to selling the batteries.
makita vs bosch?
A similar deal (unsure if it was the same model) went down to $364 on 12/10/2023.
Model number of that deal - DLX2283SM
