2.0 out of 5 stars Makita HP1500 Hammer Drill, June 28, 2008

This review is from: Makita HP1500 5 Amp 9/16-Inch Hammer Drill (Tools & Home Improvement)

The Drill is powerful and works well, but the keyless chuck is garbage. The chuck does not grip bits well, the bits spin in the chuck and turn an otherwise good drill into something worthless.
