Unreleased in Japan “Black Model” Makita XPH15ZB (HP487DZ equivalent specs) Parallel import available
*It’s 15,600 yen on Rakuten!
I like a color that’s different from others♪
Introduction to the overseas black model? (Better late than never)
These parallel imports are relatively easy to obtain in Japan too, so they’re worth targeting.
However, repairs aren’t available domestically, so caution is needed, but the individuality is“sparkling and shining☆”
XPH15ZB(International link)

Basically, it appears to have the same specifications as the domestic “HP487DZ“.
Black is resistant to dirt! Resistant to theft too? Black seems quite excellent.

6-1/2 inches = 165MM
The “HP487DZ” is 164MM, but is this 1MM difference a rounding error?
Doesn’t it divide evenly in inches?
It’s not something to worry about particularly.

Weight is approximately 1.6kg with battery installed
It’s extremely lightweight. Lightness is a strong advantage.

- Compact at just 6-1/2 inches long with ergonomic design
- Weighs just 3.1 pounds. With battery to reduce operator fatigue (battery not included)
- Ideal for work in tight spaces
- Mechanical variable 2-speed transmission (0-500 & 0-1,700 RPM) (0-7,500 & 0-25,500 BPM)
- Designed with metal chuck design for enhanced durability
- Dual LED lights illuminate the work area
- Ergonomically designed handle and rubber-coated soft grip for improved comfort
- Makita’s brushless motor delivers 350 inch-pounds of maximum torque
- The brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes, allowing the motor to run cooler and more efficiently for a longer lifespan.
- The efficient brushless motor is electronically controlled, optimizing battery energy use and delivering up to 50% longer runtime per charge.
Basically, there’s no difference from the “HP487DZ“, so
for “black lovers” isn’t it the best?
Once you start collecting, you might not be able to stop~
