 "Makita tuff" 2009-09-28
By Tom Kewish (Michigan)
I have used Makita for over 15 years. I beet the hell out of them. They just keep going. I purchased this for the batteries and charger. My other 18v charger got crushed. It was cheaper to puchase this then the charger and Batteries. Theses are Ni-Cad not lithium-ion. That's the only draw back. I have taken Makita tools and throughen them off roofs, smashed them on basement floors used the butt end as a hammer. They are very tuff tools. For battery tools I would own nothing less than Makita.

By Jonas Reitz (Queens, NY)
As someone who has never owned a drill, this one seem user-friendly and flexible. However, I found that it took a very long time to drill a hole into our concrete ceiling -- at least 30 minutes to get a depth of 3/4 inches (with 3/16 inch masonry drill bit). It could be that this is simply the nature of drilling in concrete, rather than a fault of the drill.

The main reason I purchased this drill was for the batteries. However the batteries in this Chinese reproduction is about half the amp hours of normal drill that Makita produces.



Not the real thing!

 "great product for the price" 2007-02-16
By K. Behn (Midwest)
This is a great drill. To get a hammer drill, drill and driver all in one is a fantastic combination. The batteries hold up very well and recharge very fast. For $99 you cant go wrong. I might even buy another one if I see a deal like this one come around again. The packaging is very neat and clean and they leave some room in the case to keep a box of screws or two if you so desire. Overall a great product.. Im one happy customer.. !

 "for real drill power get a rotary hammer drill" 2009-11-10
By Phillip Marsh (Texas)
Based on the reviews we decided to give this drill a try and in general for light duty use the Makita cordless tools have been fine. For Tapcon holes this drill is barely adequate but OK. For anything more it is better to get one of the Bosch rotary hammer drills as 1/4" is really the limit for the Makita.



For general hole cutting it is adequate but not able to deliver as much torque as the DeWalt DCD970 which is our present favorite for light hammer drilling heavy duty hole boring. The Makita with its lithium-ion battery overload protection will seem to stall when it is probably the power being cut to the drill motor. The 3-speed Dewalt gearbox is more effective in letting the operator match the power range to the job. The DeWalt battery pack also charges twice as fast as the Makita.



Others have had problems with the Makita chucks but so far this is not something we have encountered. There is a self-tightening aspect to keyless chucks and some will overtighten to where pliers are needed to loosen them and remove the drill or arbor shank, while others, like the Hitachi will not tighten enough to hold small drill bits without them slipping.

 "MAKITA BHP454 LITHIUM HAMMER DRILL" 2009-10-04
By C. Fowler (Dallas Texas)
I've owned many hammer drills for my general contractor business.



The Makita BHP454 Hammer Drill is very good quality but has one major failure same as but worse than my Hitachi Hammer Drills: The key-less chuck spits out the drill bits and screw driver bits when you release the trigger.



The electric brake stops the motor quickly and the inertia of the chuck loosens the jaws and the tool drops out !!!!!!!!!!! This is a major annoyance.



I've called Makita and they do not have a keyed-Jacobs chuck as a replacement.

 "Super Drill" 2009-09-17
By M. Farris
After reading numerous woodworking reviews which identify this drill as the "drill to own", I recently went to one of the big box stores to check it out. Surprisingly, I found that it is on sale now for significantly less than Amazon's current price. It weighs less than my old 14-Volt Dewalt drill and seems more balanced. Fit and finish are superior. Power to spare and agile enough to handle my cabinet making.

 "Light weight yet Very Powerful" 2009-07-15
By T-Pain (North Dakota)
This has to be the best hammer/drill/driver that i've ever used.



It's power/weight combo is perfect. I could use this drill all day without being fatigued and the battery would keep on going.



Drilling 1 1/4" holes with speedbore max bits does not pose a problem for this drill. It eats through lumber with ease.

This drill easily drills in 3/16" holes in concrete (just as fast as our corded hammer drill) to drive in anchors and it doesn't take much to drill up to an 1" holes in masonry (not quite as fast as the corded but very convenient to not have a cord)



The added handle is NEEDED in most cases, with all the power it could easily rip the drill out of your hand.



As others have noted, i've experienced the "chuck wobble" but I've also noticed this on all of the other drills that my co-workers have, from dewalt to milwaukee, they all seem to have a little bit of wobble, maybe it's somewhat normal in a hammer/drill/driver?



This drill has convinced me to purchase alot of other 18v lxt makita stuff and all of it has proven to be great stuff. From the recip. saw to the new btd144 impact drill, plus the LED lights on these tools comes in handy quite often!



Makita > all others.

 "The right tool to choose compared to other wimpy drills" 2009-07-04
By James Allen (Portland, OR)
I'm a contractor and have burned thru many tools over the years including cordless drills. After doing all the research on specs for various other drills this seemed to be the one. So far this drill has been flawless and perfect with no complaints. Our company gives these tools a true workout every day and all of our techs love them. The specs on the 454 model is worth the extra [...] bucks versus the next model down, specificaly the extra tork is what you want. I would at this time recommend this tool to freind. Jim
