Customer Reviews for Makita 10 Amp 1-9/16 in. Corded SDS-MAX Concrete/Masonry Rotary Hammer Drill with Side Handle and Hard Case

I love it. I've used a lot of smaller hammers before, but the first opportunity I had to use this one, I was breaking up concrete feeling like Tim the tool man taylor, saying "more power! . I was seriously grinning ear to ear as this beast was tearing through the concrete with ease. The only problem I have found with it so far, is that it has made me extremely impatient, waiting for my next concrete or tile job so I can get this hammer out again. Unfortunately I only get those jobs every couple months about. So it leaves me itching to use this thing on any job I can, just to get it out. Even if it's over kill for the task lol. Oh as far as features though, I really dig the low vibration for one. I was expecting to be shaking a lot worse from a hammer of this size. Less shakes = more accuracy and makes it easier to use for longer periods. Also, how it allows you to rotate your chisel or whatever you're hammering with, to whatever direction you want, is pretty handy. It's very sturdy and well built. I'm glad i bought this specific hammer. Initially I was questioning if I wanted to go with the makita, Milwaukee, or a Bosch even, but after using this one, I know I made the right choice.

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

Was easy to use. Lightweight yet very efficient in demolition of concrete. Highly recommended. Meet my expectations.

Good

Works the job well, makes tough Saltillo tile removal much easier

I have the previous model to this one, that I bought at Home Depot some years ago. I assume since it was a Mikita I would be set for a great hammer drill for the rest of my life. Even though I have owned it for approximately five years now (now out of warranty) I have drilled less than 50 holes. Now it has broken. I was able to drill less than 50 holes! What a joke! I spent $300 to drill less than 50 holes! What a laughable joke! I am done with Mikita!

For everyday work is excellent , good handling a torque

I'm into small remodeling and brought this to do some demo work and it does the a great help . Ripping up the old flooring .

The Tool preforms above and beyond what I had expected, Durable, Versital, And Reliable. Only Drawback is its a Max size Bits, and home depots located here in pheonix only carry the Plus sized bits. However, you can get other brands that fit in there place.
