Makita BDF452HW vs Makita BDF452

The Makita BDF452HW and Makita BDF452 are drill-drivers that have similar features. But, they also have differences because the Makita BDF452HW is a step ahead of the latter when it comes to charging time.

Let's see the powerful features that both tools have in common.

Power Features

• Makita-built 4-pole maximum torque motor


• 2-speed all metal transmission (0-450 RPM in low speed, 0-1500 in high)


• Delivers 285 in.lbs PTI torque and 450 in.lbs Max torque

Comfortable Design

• Compact design


• LED light for proper illumination


• Ergonomic grip

With these features, the Makita tools are great equipments for a wide range of applications that need drilling and driving.

The deciding factor between the two models would be their weight and battery time.

That being said the only difference between this kit (BDF452) and the BDF452HW is the color(white vs blue), the plastic grip around the chuck, and the batteries.

The BDF452HW includes 1.5 ampere hour batteries, where this kit includes the 3.0ah batteries, offering twice the runtime.

If you can deal with a shorter, but still surprisingly good, runtime, you can save about $100 and go with the BDF452HW.

The ease of use of cordless tools extends also to having a comfortable workspace where you don't have to look where you go so you don't trip over any wires.
