The DLX2334J is a Makita 18 V LXT combo that pairs the DHP485 combi drill with the DGA504 angle grinder. It is aimed at builders, metalworkers and renovators who need to drill and also cut or grind steel, tile and stone. That pairing is what sets it apart in our power tool kits guide: no other kit here includes an angle grinder.
- Tools
- Combi drill and angle grinder
- Batteries
- 3 listed in specs (not in title)
- Charger
- Not stated
- Platform
- Makita 18 V LXT
In its favour
- Two useful trade tools on Makita's very large LXT platform.
- The listing gives 50 Nm for the drill, enough for most fixing jobs.
- Supplied as a combo with a Makpac style case code (J).
Good to know
- The battery and charger contents are unclear: the specs say three batteries, the title lists only the tools.
- An angle grinder needs guards, the right discs and full PPE; read the manual before first use.
Our take
What the listing confirms
The title names the DHP485Z combi drill and the DGA504Z grinder. The spec table gives 18 V, 50 Nm torque, 3 A and a weight of 6.5 kg, and says three lithium ion batteries are included. The single bullet says only original Makita quality.
The title uses Z codes for both tools, which usually means body only, yet the specs say three batteries are supplied. The listing also does not mention a charger or a case. Confirm the exact contents with the seller before buying.
The drill and the grinder
The DHP485 is a combi drill, and the 50 Nm figure in the specs is most likely its torque. That suits wall plugs, timber fixing and general drilling in a house or on site. The DGA504 is an angle grinder; the listing gives no disc size or speed.
An angle grinder cuts metal bar, bolts and tiles and grinds welds or mortar. It needs the right disc for each material, a guard in place and full eye, hearing and hand protection. Read the manual before first use.
Battery count matters
If the three batteries are confirmed, this is a very well supplied kit, since a grinder drains packs quickly. If they are not included, it is a two tool LXT bundle for existing owners. The listing does not state the pack capacity either.
Other kits in the guide
The Makita DLX2278 pairs a DHR171 SDS drill with the DHP484 combi, both bare, for heavier masonry work. The Bosch GSB 18V-45 and GBH 18V-22 kit gives a drill and SDS drill with two 4 Ah packs and a charger. The Ryobi R18PD3 bundles pair a drill with garden or nailing tools.
Verdict
Choose the DLX2334J if you are on Makita LXT and need a combi drill and angle grinder together, after confirming batteries and charger with the seller. For masonry work, the Makita DLX2278 adds an SDS drill, and the Bosch GSB 18V-45 and GBH 18V-22 kit suits buyers who want batteries confirmed in the box.
