5.0 out of 5 stars great portable rotary hammer, February 14, 2009

This review is from: Bare-Tool Makita BHR202Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 7/8-Inch SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer (Tool Only, No Battery) (Tools & Home Improvement)

My review is actually for the D-handle model of the otherwise identical tool.

This Makita LXT 18v Li-on D-handle rotary hammer has 1.9 joules (or 1.4 ft*lb) of impact energy at up to 4000 blows per minute. By comparison, Makita's corded version has 2.7 joules (or 2.0 ft*lb) of impact energy at up to 4500 blows per minute, making the cordless version about 70% as powerful as the corded version, which isn't bad. I can't complain because the trade-off for portability is power and speed.

I bought this cordless rotary hammer specifically to drill 5/8" holes in concrete to set anchor bolts for my deck's footings. I can drill each 5/8" hole up to 6" deep in a minute or two, but it drains the battery at a fairly quick clip. My rough recollection is that it can only drill at most 2 of the 6"-deep, 5/8" diameter holes before the battery needs recharging. Based on my experience with the 5/8" holes, I have no doubt it is capable of drilling up to 7/8" holes.

I also used a 1" chisel bit on it and it worked really fast to chip concrete to set the footings. All in all, I am happy with this purchase despite the short battery life.

This review is from: Bare-Tool Makita BHR202Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 7/8-Inch SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer (Tool Only, No Battery) (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is a GREAT portable tool.

I Frequently am having to drill into Masonry in commercial buildings. I use this tool very often, i can auger 1/4 inch holes through a foot of masonry while holding this

unit with one hand over my head.

I love the work light, and the ease of use of this tool. Take note that the battery holder does have a shock absorber foot built in, so at first glance it may look like poor engineering. It is designed to preserve the battery from shock loads from the tool, and it does this well.


This tool is not designed for repetative large diameter drilling. It is PERFECT For tapcons, and drilling the occasional hole through masonry. It will drill large diameter holes as well, but it will chew through batteries quickly. You could perhaps do 2 or 3 7/8" holes 8" deep before your will overheat/wear down the battery.

I tend to be able to drill about 10-15 large tapcon holes, and bore 2 holes for cabling (3/8") through walls before i have to swap the battery. When using this tool i recommend having a second battery on the charger ready to go, if you think you are going to do more work than i have described.

The portability is definitely worth the sacrifice of the cord.

Summary:

If you are drilling footings all day, get a corded MAKITA.

If you are moving around alot, and do light masonry work, or chipping / tile etc. This will be a fantastic addition to your Makita tool set.

great piece of machinery,it works on its own, despite the light weight, durable, it can drill betwen 5 to 10 holes 3/8X3" , depending on the rock with one full charged battery. Let it work easy for long lasting, if you work it hard you may wore out the hammer mechanism in a couple of years, if not it^ll last for ever.
