This kit features 2 trigger-forward built- in LED lights that illuminates the work area. Its ergonomic shape fits like a glove with even pressure and easy control. The soft grip handle provides increased comfort on the job, and the Makita lithium-ion battery provides longer run time, 5x lower self discharge (for any time), and 16 firm holding contact terminals (for constant high power). The 30-minute rapid optimum charger communicates with the battery's built in memory chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage, and temperature and has a built-in fan to cool the battery to produce more lifetime work. The charger earned the Energy Star label for meeting the strict energy-efficient guidelines set by the US environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and US Department of Energy (DOE).The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2-Inch Hammer Driver-Drill delivers more torque, more speed and more work to the jobsite. The versatile BHP454 can be run as a driver-drill or a hammer driver-drill, allowing the user to carry just one tool on the job instead of two, replacing the standard driver-drill.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Makita BHP454 18-Volt LXT 1/2-Inch Lithium-Ion Cordless Hammer Drill Kit
Customer Review: Best of the bunch
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a contractor and I have owned dozens of drills. Half a year ago or so, I had a subcontractor doing some HVAC in a basement for me. He whipped out his Makita to drill a hole in the near pitch black joist bay and voila, there was light! No cords, no set up time, no precariously balanced flashlights, just bright light coming straight from the drill. Now that is cool and a heck of a time saver.
I did my research and quickly realized the advantages of this drill over its competition. So I bought it and its sister drill set the 'Makita LXT218 18-Volt 2-Tool LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Combo Kit'. This set includes a lighter weight drill and an indispensable compact extremely light weight impact driver. Nothing comes close to this combination of drills and they ALL have lights and all of the lights stay on for 10 or so seconds after you release the triggers. This feature is clutch. The smaller drills of the 'sister' combo kit come w/smaller li batteries to keep them more compact and lighter weight, but they accept the larger batteries from the BHP454. This gives them an exceptionally long run time. Both kits come w/a high-tech fan cooled fast smart charger which boasts longer battery life. For me as a contractor, battery life tends to coincide w/death of the tool it belongs to (The grave yard is a large cardboard box in my shop). Replacement is costly so longer is better.
So far, the only complaint I have about these tools is that the speed and for/rev switches are clumsy and could be better designed.
