Makita HR2630 26 mm 3 Mode SDS Plus Rotary Hammer Drill,Blue

Good quality. Great drill. well happy.

Excellent quality as with all Makita equipment. Best choice to drill in any type of wall. I got a cordless combo drill and I only use this one for drilling in walls; it goes through anything like butter (I went through 24cm cavity wall from outside with no effort, hammer drill performance is very good). Chisel function is pretty nice and powerful (for this size). It's a heavy tool (compared with cordless ones) but a beast and makes the job very easy. Recommended.

Love this thing! I picked it up for a house renovation which it completed happily and is still going strong. I deliberately went wired as I think SDS needs that extra umph that you can't get without spending mega bucks on a cordless. The cord, however, is really long and sturdy which is handy when working on site. I'd argue it's a little overkill for day to day DIY use (I actually purchased a Makita cordless after). but for anything more it's absolutely fantastic. Used for drilling LOTS of big holes into brick and blockwork, also used with chisels and scutch combs for removing tiles, bits of walls, chasing out, demolishing bathrooms/kitchens etc etc. Just a super versatile bit of kit. The fact it's also an absolute bargain, has a torque limiter (I believe - please double check!) and has a hammer only mode make this a superb buy for somebody who needs to do 'proper' work but doesn't need to to all-in at professional prices.

Fantastic machine. I bought it to help with demolition of a conservatory and was a bit worried whether it would have the guts to get the job done (I questioned myself about that too to be honest). I needn't have worried. It ate through the mortar holding the bricks in place like it wasn't there, making taking the walls apart really easy. Bought a Faithfull 40mm Chisel Bit for lifting the floor tiles and in combination with the HR2630 that job was completed in minutes. Used it for drilling into the concrete footings this morning prior to removing them with a breaker and it went into the concrete with minimal effort. For such a lightweight tool it performs really well. After seeing how good this is and having enjoyed using my Makita LCT204W Cordless Drill Plus Impact Driver Kit for the last couple of years, Makita will be top of my list for future power tools.

Really good drill - very good quality at a good price. Has a lovely weight and feel to it and a nice long power cord. Bought to replace a DeWalt that had worn out after a few years and the repair guy recommended the Makita. You need to be aware that it is an SDS drill which means it takes SDS bits (which have grooves in the sides). If you want to use this with normal bits you need a chuck adapter- there are loads on Amazon for not much money. But SDS bits are far better if you are drilling into masonry or heavy timber as they don’t slip in the chuck. I have a small rechargable drill for lightweight work and use one this for the bigger jobs.

Brilliant just a bit pricey

I was worried this would be too low powered for breaking poorly laid concrete below slabs I was resetting, as a lot of the cheaper brands are higher powered. But it’s great, went through it like butter. I’d spent a day previously trying by hand and this did more in 5 minutes! Feels well made, decent length cable, variable speed trigger, decent case. Happy I paid a bit more for a good brand. Comes with zero drill bits or breaker accessories, but I already had those.

Cuts through concrete like a knife through butter! Saves time and a lot of back ache! Worth the money spent. Only bought it this month so will update the review in a few moneths time. So far so good. Just remember that if using the chisel function you will need to dip the sds plus bit head in grease to maintain the chuck. Dont use cheap grease as I've read that the grease can eat up the chuck's rubber rendering it useless. Ive just played safe and gone for Makitas own sds grease but i see that castrol is equally good.
