Makita HR2811FX 1-1/8'' Rotary Hammer, accepts SDS-PLUS bits and 4-1/2" Angle Grinder

-----I was weary about getting this small rotary hammer drill, but i'm glad I bought this one opposed to a larger model after having a chance to use it allot. I am not a contractor, but used this to pull up 4 layers of linoleum glued to my slab. I pulled it off of my kitchen floor in about an hour. I then chipped the floor with it to get the glue off and actually broke a chisel due to fatigue. I also used this to pull sheet rock that was glued to a few large headers and also drill 5/8 dia holes in concrete (a little slow, maybe 15-30 seconds but ok if your not doing them day in and day out). I also used it to break up stucco to put in a few new windows. The reason im glad I bought a smaller hammer drill is that it would have been too cumbersome to do the above with a large drill (except drilling the hole). I think there is a place for a small rotary hammer drill and a large one, but for the homeowner, a smaller one will be a better selection because it doesnt weigh that much and will see allot more use.----I would also recommend getting a "sds plus to 1/2" chuck adapter" and a "jacobs chuck" so you can use this a regular drill if you only have one drill. I wouldnt recommend using the chuck adaptor and a jacobs chuck in rotary hammer now to drill small holes with masonary bits that do not have sds plus shanks. You will end up breaking the chuck, I broke a chuck on the very first 3/16 hole I tried drilling.----I hope this review helps someone.

Such a great deal! The roto hammer has lots of power and fits very comfortably in your hand. The added grinder for an extra 30$ Is the icing on the cake, great tools. I'm never disappointed with makita!

Great kit. We bought this to do some brick exposure and other drilling jobs (cores) in holes.I suppose if I could fault it in any way, it is that it is SPS plus, not max. I may be wrong, but it seems like there are more options with the max interface, and there are reducers for that way, while converters for plus to accept max are VERY expensive.But you know what you're getting when you're buying this, so I can't fault it at all in terms of stars. Im always happy with Makita. Our Home Depot rents these too, so I assume they're pretty tough given that...

I like this unit for the rough stuff. not so much for the finer hammering. For general chipping , scrapping, drilling into concrete great. Bounces a little when starting which makes it difficult to start in tile. Causes the bit to slip. The bosh 7/8 bulldog has a smoother start. This unit is more suited for general drilling in concrete

Very nice tools.. lightweight and packs a punch.

Exelente price and condición, the bonus grainier machine to.

piece of junk no power, cant even drill through a mortar joint

it's a very good tool work perfectly but 4 star because makita don't sell this product with bits this product should come with at least one original makita bit
