5.0 out of 5 stars Can't believe this is battery powered..., July 17, 2008

This review is from: Bare-Tool Makita BHR240Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 7/8-Inch SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer (Tool Only, No Battery) (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have used this rotary hammer drill for up to 3/4" holes in concrete and tile and it is nothing short of awesome. I also own the Bosch Bulldog, which is the industry standard in small rotary hammer drills, and this cordless Makita performs right up there with it, making short work of whatever I put it up against. While the Bosch is a great hammer drill as well, the portability of the 18 volt Li-Ion Makita really makes this drill shine, highly recommended for anyone who requires a portable rotary hammer with enough power to do the job.

5.0 out of 5 stars great portable rotary hammer, February 15, 2009

This review is from: Bare-Tool Makita BHR240Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 7/8-Inch SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer (Tool Only, No Battery) (Tools & Home Improvement)

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 BHR240Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 7/8-Inch SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer (Tool Only, No Battery) (Tools & Home Improvement)

The Makita BHR240Z and BHR241Z are great little rotor hammers. I've used many different corded rotor hammers and was impressed by this cordless one. It has three modes, drill, hammer drill and hammer only. I was very impressed with the hammer only mode. While it will drill a 7/8" or even larger holes, if you have very many, you should get a larger, corded model. It made a great addition to my 18-volt LXT set of cordless tools.
