Makita Cordless Driver Drill, For Wood and Steel,13mm, 18V, 65Nm, 0 ~ 1,900RPM, 1.7kg DDF490WVE

Makita Cordless Driver Drill DDF490WVE

The Makita DDF490WVE Cordless Driver Drill is a powerful and reliable tool built for professionals who demand performance and durability. Powered by 18V LXT lithium-ion technology, it offers long run time, quick 45-minute charging, and consistent power with an LED charge indicator. Its brushless motor delivers up to 65 N·m of torque, providing high efficiency, less heat, and longer tool life. With two mechanical speeds, 20 torque settings, and variable speed control, it adapts easily to any task. Designed with XPT protection, an electric brake, and a built-in LED light, it ensures comfort, safety, and productivity in every use.

Powerful Features:

Lithium-ion Extreme Technology (LXT): The LXT System was the first 18V lithium-ion cordless platform of its kind. It provides strong, consistent power and longer run time for demanding professional work. Designed as a one-battery solution for tradespeople, it delivers longer operation for higher performance and productivity on every job. With the Makita rapid charger, the battery fully charges in about 45 minutes and includes an LED charge indicator for convenience. The charger communicates directly with each battery cell, monitoring voltage, current, and temperature, ensuring both fast and optimal charging, which extends battery life significantly.

Brushless Motor: Makita’s Brushless Motor is precisely engineered to deliver up to 50% greater efficiency than standard brushed motors. This allows a single 18V lithium-ion battery to last almost twice as long as a conventional one. Brushless tools increase productivity by offering longer runtime and faster charging. Since the design removes carbon brushes, the motor runs cooler and cleaner, reducing friction and heat buildup, which results in longer tool life and better performance.

Extreme Protection Technology (XPT): XPT is a protective internal system built to shield the tool’s main components from water and dust. By redirecting moisture and debris away from critical areas, it enhances durability and reliability, especially in outdoor or harsh job-site conditions, offering superior protection compared to standard models.

Variable Speed: Variable speed control lets the user adjust the speed precisely to match the task or material being worked on, giving better results and control.

Brake: An electronic brake stops the bit instantly—within two seconds—to boost operator safety and help prevent accidents during use.

Reversing: When drilling is complete, switching to reverse mode spins the bit counterclockwise, allowing it to exit smoothly. This feature also makes it easy to remove screws and fasteners quickly.

Mechanical 2-Speed: The two-speed mechanical gearbox gives flexibility between high-speed drilling for lighter jobs and low-speed, high-torque performance for larger holes or tougher materials.

Torque Setting 20: With 20 clutch settings and a drill mode, the tool provides better fastening control, allowing precise torque adjustment for a variety of drilling and driving tasks.

Built-in Job Light: An integrated LED work light with pre-glow and after-glow features brightens the workspace before and after operation, improving visibility in dark or confined areas.
