Product Information

Full details

The Makita DLX2537ST is a professional 18V LXT cordless brushless twin pack designed for tradespeople and serious DIYers tackling demanding drilling and fastening tasks. Its key benefit is the combination of a powerful brushless combi hammer drill (DHP490) and a high-torque impact driver (DTD153), offering versatility and efficiency on the job. A potential caveat is the learning curve for new users to fully leverage the variable speed and torque settings for optimal results.

FAQs

What is the main difference between the DHP490 and a standard drill?

The DHP490 is a combi hammer drill, meaning it has an added hammer function for drilling into masonry. It also features a brushless motor for increased efficiency and longevity, and eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT) for durability.

Can I use my older Makita 18V batteries with this kit?

Yes, this kit is compatible with all Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries, regardless of their Ah rating.

What type of bits should I use with the DTD153 Impact Driver?

You should use standard 1/4 inch hex shank screwdriver bits. For impact drivers, it's recommended to use bits specifically rated for impact use, as they are more durable.

How do I activate the hammer function on the DHP490?

The hammer function is typically engaged by rotating a mode selector ring or switch on the tool body, usually located near the chuck or gear selector. Refer to the tool's manual for the exact location and operation.

What is the torque rating for the DHP490 Combi Drill?

The DHP490 provides 65 Nm of maximum torque.

Is this kit suitable for professional construction work?

Yes, this kit is designed for professional use, offering powerful performance, durability, and efficiency with its brushless motors and robust build.

How long does the DC18SD charger take to charge a 5.0Ah battery?

The DC18SD charger typically takes around 45-60 minutes to fully charge a 5.0Ah LXT battery.

Troubleshooting

Tool won't turn on

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted into the tool. Check if the battery protection circuit has activated (allow to cool if overheated). Verify the forward/reverse switch is not locked in the center position.

Reduced power or speed

The battery may be low on charge. Recharge the battery. If the issue persists with a fully charged battery, the tool's motor or battery may require service.

Impact driver not engaging fully

Ensure the driver bit is fully inserted into the 1/4 inch hex chuck and the collar is properly locked. Check the bit for damage or excessive wear.

Combi drill chuck won't open or close

Check for debris in the chuck mechanism. Try operating the chuck in both directions while gently tapping it. If damaged, the chuck may need replacement.

LED light not working

Check battery connection. If the battery is functional and connected properly, the LED may require service.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Powerful performance from brushless motors in both tools.
  • Versatile functionality with the combi drill's hammer and drill modes.
  • Compact and lightweight design of the impact driver for tight access.
  • Durable construction with XPT for harsh environments.
  • Longer run time and tool life due to efficient brushless technology.
  • Convenient all-in-one kit with batteries, charger, and case.

Cons

  • Higher initial cost compared to brushed tool kits.
  • Combi drill may be less suited for very heavy-duty masonry drilling compared to dedicated SDS drills.
  • Requires Makita's 18V LXT battery system, not compatible with other brands.
  • No specific clutch settings on the impact driver for delicate screw applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Charge Batteries: Before first use, fully charge both 5.0Ah LXT batteries using the included DC18SD charger. The charger's indicator lights will signal when charging is complete.
  2. Insert Battery: Slide a charged battery firmly into the base of the DHP490 Combi Drill or DTD153 Impact Driver until it clicks into place.
  3. Install Bit/Accessory: For the DHP490, open the keyless chuck by twisting the collar, insert the desired drill bit or driver bit, and firmly twist the collar to secure it. For the DTD153, pull back the collar of the 1/4 inch hex chuck, insert the driver bit, and release the collar to lock it.

Compatibility:

  • Batteries: This kit is compatible with all Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries. The included 5.0Ah batteries are suitable for both tools.
  • Bits: Use standard 1/4 inch hex shank bits for the DTD153 Impact Driver. For the DHP490 Combi Drill, use standard drill bits and driver bits compatible with a 13mm keyless chuck.

Care & Maintenance:

  • Cleaning: After use, wipe down the tools with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using solvents. Ensure vents are clear of obstructions.
  • Storage: Store the tools, batteries, and charger in the provided carry case. Keep batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Battery Care: Avoid fully discharging batteries regularly. Store batteries with a partial charge if not in use for extended periods. Keep battery terminals clean.
  • Harsh Conditions: While equipped with XPT, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or dust. Ensure the tool is dry and clean before storing.
