Description
Overview:
This Housing Set is a genuine Makita replacement for the DHP481 and DDF481 combi drills. It replaces the external body that supports and protects the motor, gearbox, switch, and electronics. Moulded from tough, impact-resistant plastic with textured grip areas, it restores the drill's structural rigidity and handling comfort while maintaining correct alignment of internal components. Supplied as matching clamshell halves, it is designed to transfer your existing internals across for a like-for-like rebuild. The precise moulding and screw bosses match the original factory specification, helping to keep dust paths, ventilation and cable routing as intended. Ideal for repairing cracked or worn housings, it keeps your Makita workhorse in safe, reliable service on site or in the workshop.
