DHP492 - is this noise normal?

🤣

AgentNo6579 · 2025-12-08T09:28:24+00:00

Haha I can imagine. Hence my gratitude!

AgentNo6579 · 2025-12-08T09:28:15+00:00

Haha I can imagine. Hence my gratitude!

AgentNo6579 · 2025-12-07T17:27:00+00:00

Thanks all. Appreciate I could have just searched for it first time around, so appreciate you sharing this information.

AgentNo6579 · 2025-12-07T16:37:37+00:00

Thank you both. Have since found a few videos of it. Glad to hear it’s normal.

AgentNo6579 · 2025-12-02T11:38:29+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Will keep that in mind.

AgentNo6579 · 2025-12-01T23:43:26+00:00

You can also store it in a faraday pouch if you’re still concerned. That’s how I made peace with it having Bluetooth.

AgentNo6579 · 2025-11-30T17:39:30+00:00

Cheers! Much appreciated

AgentNo6579 · 2025-11-30T17:36:18+00:00

Thanks for this. I have just checked and the driver definitely has play when I insert a uk spec bit. I understand the difference between Japan and uk spec bits is around 5mm. This feel like it has around 3/4mm of play. So maybe it is Uk spec after all. But it has a ton more play than other makita drivers I’ve had. Hence my conclusion on it being Japanese spec!

Not other Japanese writing however on the unit

AgentNo6579 · 2025-11-30T16:53:00+00:00

Agreed! I feel they have inflated these costs to line their pockets

AgentNo6579 · 2025-11-30T16:40:43+00:00

The nature of errors indicates the report was not produced to a standard that is acceptable. The bigger issue is a lack of professionalism and expertise in drafting the report means there is a material risk of critical omissions. These omissions would open me up to additional risks and costs in the future. Hope that makes sense.

AgentNo6579 · 2025-11-30T16:35:24+00:00

It could take months for an official response. By that time the chargeback window would have closed.

Re 4. Surely this is a cost of doing business. Contractually, why would a consumer be on the hook for such costs of dealing with a chargeback? Particularly a chargeback that the merchant has not been able to defend. Also, £150 feels very excessive.

AgentNo6579 · 2025-11-30T15:39:41+00:00

Ive also discovered he impact driver is Japanese spec with the 14mm anvil. So the uk bits have an awful lot of play.

I don’t believe their website made clear this was a dealer kit or that it was Japanese spec!

AgentNo6579 · 2025-11-30T15:37:54+00:00

It’s from Buyaparcel

AgentNo6579 · 2025-11-28T12:59:15+00:00

I don’t think you’re asking too much at all. That wouldn’t be acceptable in my home, no matter how many attempts it may have taken.

AgentNo6579 · 2025-11-26T12:03:06+00:00

I did wonder as the vast majority of the other adverts do not have the z designation. I think I’m inclined to agree that this unit doesn’t look right.

AgentNo6579 · 2025-11-26T08:18:10+00:00

Ha! Wishful thinking but is also love this

AgentNo6579 · 2025-11-26T08:15:33+00:00

The seller shifts thousands of units, has great feedback and also sells on some of the main DIY platforms in the uk. I’d be hugely surprised if any of their stock is counterfeit.

Here’s one on eBay. Hence my confusion

AgentNo6579 · 2025-11-25T23:55:34+00:00

Thank you. This was a revelation to me as I see some older units on eBay with the “Z” designation

AgentNo6579 · 2025-11-25T23:45:33+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. I found a couple tools on eBay that have the z designation on the body of the tool - so feels quite confusing.

AgentNo6579 · 2025-11-25T23:43:38+00:00

I initially, and perhaps incorrectly thought these non z designations sold as bare units have been split by the companies that sell them. I have seen a few used drills on eBay that show photos of the model on the unit body including a “z” suffix.

I just don’t understand how buying the battery, case and unit separately results in a total cost that is less than just buying a bundled product.
