Delivered! Was seriously thinking about cancelling the order last week, glad I didn't.

Change the buying options to "Other Sellers" or click on the "11 New From..." link to see the £125 Amazon Price.

If you have ordered from Amazon for £170 and the price went down, all you had to do was to ask for a refund, no need to send back and reorder. Also £125 is for for Prime members only.

Can Non-Prime people take advantage of the Warehouse versions for £108? Apparantly "Minor Cosmetic Marks on Top".

Split Bundle.

Charger £43.92

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Makita-BL1840DC18RC-DC18RC-Charger-Battery/dp/B018NT388A

Add that to the body for £48.99 and £164 (without the case) is still a great price.

I got the same kit from Plumbcentre from a previous HUKD last week, very pleased at £119 but that one's out of stock.

Just bagged an impact driver to go with from Power Tool World for £59.99 too.

Oos

​fast charger £32 on ebay free delivery !!!!!!!!

Same price here with free next day delivery if ordered before 3.30pm

https://www.toolstoday.co.uk/makita-dhp482rfwj-18v-lxt-cordless-combi-drill-1x-3-0ah?gclid=CIOt7IqmptECFQ2eGwod-e8OOA

How many drills does the case hold? If you want the impact driver and a case that holds 2 drills, would it not be cheaper to buy the dlx2131 set? £199.99 for everything with 2 3ah batteries?

But for the drill on its own in this kit, hot :smiley:

I dipped when they had the 20% off everything Warehouse then the £30 off £100 promotion.

Id say most of the stuff was better shape than quoted. Nothing was disappointing and all delivered next day when I selected Prime.

I have heard horror stories though and I think their reputation is about 85% at the moment!?

You would be paying £75 for the impact driver and a case that holds 2 drills, 3 batteries and the charger.... but if the case is of no interest then this is the better deal. Got mine off eBay as I had loads of nectar points to use...

Ah, Nectar points. Cash mine in when there's a good promo and always end up buying something I don't need but massively want :smiley:

Plumbcenter £119 not sure if it's exactly the same drill, but has charger, case, 2 x 3ah batteries. It is a white Makita though.

Makita Drill - PlumbCenter

Keep an eye on it. It's out of stock, then back in stock, out again. This was over the last week. I managed to order one for collection on the 9th

I've looked at that for ages and never had the opportunity to order. Thought it was one of those attention seeking prices to get you onto the site :smiley:

silhouette, your link is for a battery charger and 1 4аh battery not 2.

There is also another Amazon Deal for the charger and 2x 4.0ah batteries for £115
​https://www.amazon.co.uk/Makita-BL1840DC18RC-DC18RC-Charger-Battery

The case that comes with this is a standard stacking one. It comes with a removeable liner that holds the tool and bateries. I have one that has the 18v angle grinder in it.

out of stock :-(

out of stock

Tried to order earlier but Amazon site stated " internal error problem". Waited till after midnight and order has now been placed and accepted.

Not sure if we've been unlucky but we have now given up on buying these combi drills as the motors keep burning out. We now use Metabo, although the single Makita DHP459Z brushless we have is great. Body is about £30 more than this one.

I wasn't aware, my last time I asked them was in 2015 when Honor 7 price was reduced by £25, and got credited with no questions asked. Thanks

Same. The 7 day price guarantee stopped in May '16. Wouldn't refund £30 difference on Kenwood stand mixer over xmas. Had to cancel and re-order but was charged 6.99 for return shipping. Shame really, 7-day price promise came in handy on a couple of occasions

I can't see this deal anymore. I have prime as well. Can someone else confirm?

Only thing in the Amazon price promise these day's is TV's from my readings.

But for clarity:
"Temporarily out of stock. Order now and we'll deliver when available. We'll e-mail you with an estimated delivery date as soon as we have more information. Your credit card will not be charged until we ship the item."

Have to wait and see if / when it comes into stock...

Indeed, its purchasable. Doesnt mean you'll get it tomorrow though :smiley:

Im still waiting, but for that price, im happy to.

Anyone know if these batteries work with the Makita 18V vacuum? Guess it should as its listed as a commonly bought-together item.

Yes, Makita have two "styles" of 18v battery. The old ones are thin/flat and white. These new 18v batteries will work with most of the 18v "modern" Makita release.

I bought the circular saw and the batteries from this work in that perfectly.

Great to hear. Thanks for your reply.

No update on my order as yet. Hanging on in there, but I'm expecting a cancellation email in the next week or so.

Do they cancel? Or does it just sit in limbo for ages?

Been in this situation before, but previously they've sourced the stock after two or three weeks. Worth hanging on but it does mean cancellation might not happen for a while!!

OK Thanks. I've got my Screwfix-sourced 453 under my desk at work. Got 30-day returns policy (must calculate when that ends!). Trouble is, I'm gonna need to use *something* in about 2-3 weeks so fingers crossed! :smiley:

My Makita Bag (off this forum for £17.30) received an updated dispatch time the other day - I think I ordered this drill a couple of days later, so imagine it'll be updated soon for those that ordered.

If you get desperate in terms of 30 days, you may wish to Amazon Chat them up.

I ended up taking the Screwfix one back. It's still a good deal, just I wasn't in a rush so I'm happy to wait for a deal further down the line if this one doesn't pay off.

Looks like Amazon have removed prime from the buy new options once more.

Not sure if this is a good or bad sign?

Looks like they may have met their Prime Exclusive quota.

Or... its bad news, because they've now been told they can only get 10 in stock or something :smile:

Im hopeful.

Well, I'm backordered but not via Prime... hopefully will still receive allocation

The 'Prime Exclusive' option is back once more :laughing:

I'm tempted to enter chat and see what they say about expectations...

I've just emailed Customer Service to see if there is any more information they can give. Probably not, but worth a stab!



Did you get in touch?

still no delivery news so i have just cancelled it and immediately re-ordered using the code "BIGTHANKS" for £115 - yep another tenner off! Same position as before, no delivery date, but £10 better off.

Excellent idea, thanks

Yep - thats a great shout. Ill wait until bedtime and if I havent thought of anything I deserve off my wishlist - ill do the same.

I thought about that, but it felt like the fineprint said Checkout Today; maybe the fact that the order gets confirmed but with an unknown delivery date makes it go through.

Then again, if they ultimately cancel it because of no stock, you've "wasted" your £10 off; I'll probably use mine today on something they can dispatch immediately and keep waiting for the drill

I didn't want to risk 'losing my place in the queue' so I emailed Customer Services and they've applied the £10 discount to my order, no need to cancel. :smiley:

No update on my order - still no stock estimate. Ordered two weeks ago tomorrow. It's "available to order exclusive to Prime Members" whatever that means. Bit rubbish tbh since Prime is suppose to be guaranteed next day, but they're OOS.

I suppose the exclusiveness is the access to the price... I suppose.

A little irresponsible to take orders that you are having trouble sourcing stock for though.

I'm going to see what happens over the next week before deciding what to do.

I expect there are several containers of drills on a boat somewhere, we can expect delivery in 5-7 weeks.
Same thing happened when I got the bread maker from Amazon - took about 3 months from order to delivery, worth the wait though.

You'd think they'd be able to give a guideline though. Presumably they're not shipping by The Mary Celeste?

Maybe, but seriously, WHEN are they going to provide a delivery estimate?!? :disappointed:

I've got barely a week left before I need it, or be "stuck" with the Screwfix 453

Substantial model discussion here btw http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/makita-dhp482z-18v-lxt-li-ion-combi-drill-2-speed-body-only-42-95-delivered-powertoolworld-2608638?p=29932352

This is seems to be an automatic thing and no indication of stock.

I did try to contact Amazon but got a cookie-cookie type reply, guess the waiting goes on for a little longer.

Temporarily out of stock

Lol.

More like losingmytemper-arily. I'm returning the Screening £129 bundle tonight for a refund. 453 body and slow charger so decided against it. Have ordered this Amazon deal from Powertoolworld.co.uk for £163, minus £7 Quidco (and a £10 bonus) so I'm at £146 but at least it will arrive thus week...

What's this £10 bonus you speak of? ::confused:

Can't blame you. I've used gift credit which is now tied into this order and unusable. Somewhat frustrating.

I don't think this one is going to materialise. I think the 'Anniversary' edition was a limited run so I would be surprised if it comes back into stock.

Hope I'm wrong.

Was an email from Quidco that said "buy anything before end of JAN and we will give you a bonus of £10". I haven't used them in ages so maybe it was a personalised win-back

Has anyone one received their produce from amazon and received the charger with a two prong plug? I spoke to makita who informed me this isn't correct and should have a UK plug. Thanks.

Nobody has received a thing from Amazon so hard to say, but worth keeping an eye on

Thanks for that Pope. Had a look through my emails but nothing like that received. Well, may aswell keep waiting.

Not holding out much hope though tbh. After placing my order from Plumbcentre at 119.99 on 27th Dec. and waiting till my delivery date on 13th Jan to receive nothing (without a cancellation email or any other form of contact from them) I pressed them a few times over the phone to see if they can make good somehow. They weren't really interested.

The usual story, apparently they were overwhelmed with orders and couldn't fulfil them all and although one had supposedly been ordered in for me to be transferred to my local store for home delivery 'someone must have sold it', is what they said. Anywho, they reckon they've made calls to numerous suppliers and Makita themselves on my behalf and said that they can't get any stock at all, whatsoever, so I quickly placed an order with Amazon the same day hoping to get lucky. If I'd have known they were gonna shaft me I could have got it from Amazon whilst they still had stock or a number of places who had it marked down to 120-125 at the time, but I never got that chance.

Based on that, my cynicism tells me Amazon probably won't be able to get stock either and our orders will remain pending on the never, never.

We shall wait and see..


Although I am tempted by this. Is it a good deal do you think? Not sure I need to spend this much though considering it'll only be getting used once in a blue moon when the odd DIY task rears it's head. Looks like a quality piece of kit though. I like quality. :man:

That a lot of coin. I'd need to look at the drill body specs tomorrow but 5ah batteries are at least £70 each and there's two of them; feels like massive overkill. Remember, you can buy Body Only and pick up whatever capacity battery you want

It is really for a bit of novice DIY. Brushless though so would probably last me a lifetime, and if ever I decided to undertake a larger project least I've got the kit and battery power to see me through properly. I figured batteries come up to about 150 quid, quick charger 30-35 and a mac pac + inlay - another £30 maybe? Works out about 30-35 quid for the body.

Still, silly money for a non-professional who doesn't need all that ooomf. Need to behave myself :smiley:

Somebody needs to say it, I know it's difficult, but this deal needs putting down for its own good!

To me it's simple: is this in your budget and are you going to get use from it? If so, then the purchase is justified.

Don't fall in the trap of saving a few bob now and then having to upgrade soon afterwards. Always buy the best your budget will allow.

Just my two penneth worth.

Update email from Amazon this morning :

Please be advised that we have a revised delivery date for the items you ordered on January 20 2017 (Order #206-4447214-6469966).

I ordered 10 days earlier (January 10th) and haven't received anything

Please be advised that we have a revised delivery date for the items you ordered on January 10 2017 (Order #206-xxxxxxx).

  "Makita DHP482RFWJ 18 V Combi Cordless Drill"
    Estimated arrival date: March 01 2017 - April 08 2017

Not sure yet how I feel about this. How move was yesterday so I've already made good use of my order from Powertoolworld.co.uk. I'm VERY happy with the performance, battery life, and even the LED makes a surprising difference, compared to the cheaper model I had from Screwfix.

I'll probably leave this in my basket and decide later. I already bought the LXT "dust buster" which works well. Next up I need one of the LXT circular range, and potentially the entry level reciprocating saw, though Amazon is the same "ships in a month" and stock elsewhere is scant.

Having moved from a central London flat to my first house, I have a garden now. Wife wants me to borrow a mower from a neighbour rather than buy the LXT mower; I'm sure even I could survive with a B&Q broom and rake, rather than the LXT leaf blower/vac...

Looks like they've made a mess with my order - it's still saying "Delivery date pending" on the order details page but the status is saying "Delivered".

Just had this through:

[ "Makita DHP482RFWJ 18 V Combi Cordless Drill"
    Estimated arrival date: February 27 2017 - April 03 2017

A little happier now :smiley:

I've given up and cancelled. No est. del. date from Amazon as of half an hour ago.

If it helps anyone, I went ahead and ordered from here instead at £148.98, however it also includes a free 101-piece Makita bit set which retails around £20+ so once you take that away from the price of the Combi Drill Kit, it comes in at £128.98 (incl. vat). £4 more than Amazon...which I can live with :stuck_out_tongue:

Granted, a lot of reviews indicate 50% of the bit-set is made of cheese and the other, probably custard, but at least I've got a semi-decent selection of bits to use once or twice before they snap and get tossed in the bin! Plus it should be here by Monday with free standard delivery (next business day).

Amazon page now shows 'usually dispatched within 1-2 months'

Hi all

Thanks for this post Silhouette saved me a few ££££££

Just checked my order for this drill and it has changed.

It now reads

Arriving 27 Feb - 3 Apr

Will dispatch 2 Apr

Not yet dispatched

Received mine today (ordered 3rd January) but it is the standard blue not white, comes with a 2 pin plug and French instructions!

Sending an email complaint now.

Wow.. That's poor. :neutral_face:

Let us know how this turns out.

Not surprised you didn't receive the anniversary edition as this was a limited run. Amazon have been smart in that even though the pictures show this, the description never mentions that it would be.

The non-UK edition is a whole different ball game....I'll wait to see what turns up.

Mine was white but also had a two pin. Contacted amazon but gave up and a very frustrating conversation with their resolution being for me to return it and re order when in stock. Decided to keep it and use a 2 pin adapter.

Amazon apologised and offered a full refund if I returned it. I explained that I needed one now and that I would keep it if they offered a partial refund for the added inconvenience.

End result, they offered me a 20% refund. So for a total cost of £100 I can live with using an adapter and it being a different colour! :smile:

For those that have kept the drill with the 2 pin plug - can you still register with Makita for a full 3 year UK Waranty ? Not such a good deal if you can't.

There's been plenty of discussion on whether it is legal to sell items with a two-pin plug in the UK, regardless if it comes with an adapter or not.

Amazon seen to have a history:

https://conversation.which.co.uk/home-energy/plugs-two-pin-british-amazon

Yep, full 3 year warranty just registered. :laughing:

So I wonder if they'll cancel the upcoming deliveries if they seem to have the wrong plug. I don't actually mind the French plug as long I get it to be honest.

That's pretty good then if you get a discount - I'd imagine that most people reading this thread are more than capable of changing a plug.

Not sure that's the point.

I have no problem with Amazon selling an item that comes fitted with a non UK standard plug, but they need to be clear about this and at least supply an adapter. I thought this was a minimum requirement?

Cheers for the link..ordered and v happy that I had missed out on the amazon deal..cant be bothered with the hassle and needed asap as left mine in france..got circ saw dss610 £90 and jigsaw djv180 £110 to go with it....topman for posting link..cheers :sunglasses:

Cheers pal, You're very welcome! Glad you got yourself kitted out. Saves waiting forever doesn't it? Worth the extra couple of quid and their service was faultless

Enjoy making stuff! :smirk:

Decided to bow out and have gone for this offer instead, only one battery, but I can live with that:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/makita-dhp480-combi-drill-101-amazon-2641250

That's a good shout that, for a brushless. Well done. Prices jumping around a bit, how much did you give for it?

£100.94. A little less torque/power rating, but the superior brushless motor was the deciding factor for me.

They failed to meet the April delivery date... My order is still in.. will keep you posted :smiley:

Delivery date... nothing apart from an email... Amazon begging me to cancel.

Just did the exact same thing from Priority Plumbing - now £155. I couldn't see anywhere on the website where it said it included the 101 piece bit set, however it came with one anyway which is handy. Delivered in 2 days.

Doesn't look like the Amazon deal is coming through any time soon, no est delivery time when I cancelled.

Just checked my amazon order and found this note Arriving Thursday Not yet dispatched
does not say which Thursday lol there may be hope yet we will see if it arrives Thursday lol

Mine is finally preparing for dispatch.

just checked my order again and mine is also Preparing for Dispatch

Mine preparing for dispatch also - worth noting this is still purchasable for £125, but listed as OOS.

Proof here seems to say they have stock :smiley:
