Quick verdict

The DLX2145TJ pairs a substantial combi drill with a separate impact driver. It suits buyers who want drilling capacity and screwdriving covered in one complete LXT package.

Key specifications

  • 18V LXT battery system

  • DHP458 combi drill with 91 Nm hard-joint torque

  • DTD152 impact driver with 165 Nm maximum fastening torque

  • Two BL1850B 5.0 Ah batteries and DC18RC charger

  • Makpac Type 3 case; drill side handle and depth stop

What we like

  • The side handle provides a second grip for demanding drilling.

  • Two batteries let the tools remain separately equipped.

  • Dedicated drilling and driving tools reduce accessory swapping.

What to consider

  • The DHP458 is a substantial drill; check its size and weight for your work.

  • This remains a combi-drill kit rather than a dedicated concrete-drilling package.

Who should buy it?

LXT newcomers or owners who regularly drill larger holes and want a separate driver for fastening.

Final verdict

A useful kit when the larger combi drill is justified. For mainly small fixings, compare the handling of more compact twin packs.
