Needed a hammer drill for a small amount of work. this was a recond drill. It looked ok and worked fine. I bought it for a good price. Overall happy with this drill but if I had lots of work to do I would have bought a better unit.
By J. Dredd
the chuck on this drill is useless. it sounds like plastic inside and stripped and failed to sufficiantly hold the bit (a small 5/32 tapcon bit) on the first bit i used. After a very long day of tightening the chuck with pliers just to get the job done, the drill smelled like it was burning up too. Had I paid more than $40 for it, iwould be livid, 75-100 tap con holes out of a drill is totally unacceptable. I've been a professional carpenter for +17 years and the tool market has gotten so bad over the years that Makita is the only brand I can usually trust. I sincerely hope that this cheap depot/lowes homeowner model is not a trend for them.
By Brian D. Bannerman (Brentwood, CA)
The drill arrived in like new condition with instructions and carrying case. I used it to drill several holes in concrete and it did the job.
By D. Kishler (Ohio)
Reconditioned drill was like new, case and depth gauge looked new. Very good value, excellent 1/2" drill, good chuck. This is a good drill for home or light commercial work. It is about the same size as my Craftsman 3/8" drill only capable of 1/2" shank drills. Quick shipping / good purchase.
By Larry Spradling
This drill did everything that I needed it to do. It makes drilling into brick or masonry extremely easy. It has a switch from a regular drill to a hammer drill and has a capacity for drill bits up through 1/2". The drill looked as close to new as you can get and still be called refurbished. You won't find a better buy than this.

I have used makita hp2010n for mixing thinsets and grouts for over 20 years. I have only gone thru 3 of them. The weight is not as bad as other big drills I have used,(and those I gave away).I was talked into buying a lighter model the 2050. I used it for the last 2 years, when when my third 2010 burned up. Somewhat of a mistake, not enough power, and Today april 18th 2009, it died after 2 short years.I'm buying my forth hp2010n on line right now. One thing it and simular hammer/drills of this type can't do is be a real hammer drill, they are all to slow. So buy a hammer drill that takes sds bits etc.I have bosch and makita sds hammer drills they work great. As far as mixing thinsets, grouts for tiling and regular drilling with great power, I haven't found anything on the market I like better. Oh yeah and 5,6,7 days a week for 7 years each. Well you do the math.

I bought the Makita HP2010N back in 1990 and still have and use it today. It has been used extensively in hammer-mode with a 3-5/8" hole saw to cut holes for ceiling pan boxes in oak beams and for overhead drilling on post and beam construction. It will spin a 7/8" X 18" Greenlee Nail Eater in the "High Speed" position repeatedly through 12" solid oak beams with very little effort.
The ½"chuck is very good and when properly tightened, never seems to let the bit slip even under heavy hammering in masonry. This hammerdrill is heavier than the others I currently own and although it has a ¾" masonry capacity, it is slightly slower to complete holes when drilling in hardened concrete, mostly due to the lower impact of the Makita's hammer mechanism. Because of this, I use it mainly for drilling in hollow concrete block, hard wooden beams or metal, where this drill really excels. I wouldn't recommend it for heavy masonry drilling. A rotary hammer is usually a better choice for that type of work, but a hammerdrill such as this one can also do the job satisfactorily sometimes.
The HP2010N is a very rugged and well made tool. During almost twelve years of very hard, on the job use, the only repairs made have been to replace a worn out trigger switch, brushes (due to normal wear) and a damaged power cord.
I would definitely recommend this tool for anyone who is looking for a very durable, long lasting hammerdrill that will only occasionally be used for drilling in masonry.

The Makita HM1500B has made quick work of digging fence post holes.. We were averaging about 1 1/2 hours to dig each hole, using a tractor mounted auger, a set of post hole diggers and a 6' steel pry bar to bust through the limestone rock common to central Texas cliche.. Most of that hour and 1/2 was spent using the pry bar to bust through the limestone..
With the Makita HM1500B we were able to cut the time to about 1/2 hour per hole.. But far more important, I am not absolutely worn out.. Previous to using the Makita, digging 5 holes in a day would pretty much wipe me out, sometimes even taking an additional day to recover.. Hey, I'm not the young buck I used to be at just over 50, and am a software engineer by trade..
Today we dug 8 holes, and plan on digging another 18 tomorrow.. Using the Makita, has kept me from having to contract out the hole digging (at a cost which was slightly less than the price of the HM1500B).. The advantage of buying the Makita is I now have a great jack hammer for future projects.. flk
By Michael McDonald (Lansing, MI)
I am a builder and remodeler. My company frequently has to do concrete removal work. Usually for installing egress windows in basement walls or for moving underground plumbing. The first time we used this tool was to go through a basement wall we had scored with a concrete wet saw. The wall was 10 inches thick and the the blade can only go down to about 4 3/4 inches. This tool broke through the rest of the way in minutes. We were left with a large heavy slab 10 inches thick that had been in the hole. I was able to break the piece into 12 smaller pieces within about 5 minutes to make it easier to carry. Great tool so far
By Sandy River (Norco, CA United States)
I have about 5 cubic meters of various stages of decomposing granite to remove. The spade bit slices through the soft granite like butter. And the point bit eventually breaks hard rock into managable pieces. I started off with a pick & sledge and rate this tool as 200 times easier. Or, for every hour breaking with this hammer, you would need 200 with the pick.
The HM1500B accepts standard bits which can be bought at Home Depot. It is a little heavy with the bit in place, but it does the job.
By Mark J. Krenitsky (Butler, PA United States)
I like the light weight of this tool for a jack hammer. I have used it for digging ditches with a 5 1/2 inch clay spade, and breaking up small amounts of concrete. It has worked well for everything that I have used it for.

the HM0810B is the best, lightweight hammer on the market. 2900 blows per minute, with a weight of only 11.7lbs. This is the hammer that should be used for chiseling, chipping and scaling, NOT the HK1810, which should only really be used for removing tile and plaster.

apparently the hammer I reviewed is a genuine Makita. I regret my error.
By Jay Banderob (Bitterroot Valley, Montana USA)
After years (20) of use of this and other models and brands, this particular model makita still stands head and shoulders above all others for both performance and durability in the hard daily use of the log home industry. It has suplanted all other makes and models to become the industry standard. Still it(and virtually all others) require minor modification in this application: Lose the sappy varro-handle, and create your own 2-3"x long log gouge. Or have it created for you (spendy).

Very satisfied with the power and the lower noise factor is great. Unfortunately I was unable to view "what's in the box" or I would have added two extra SDS max chisel bits 2" x 12" and 3" x 12" to my purchase. This is a great choice at a very good price.

Bottem line, Drill performs well. My only complaint is the plastic chuck is cheap and I would rather have a metal one. The chuck work well with no problems. The built in light seemed like a gimick to me. I have to admit. The built in light works well. My last heavly worked makita lasted me 10 years so the brand is good value.
By DW Woodworker (Florida)
I've had good luck with Makita over recent years, so I picked this hammer drill up on sale at HD. It seems well-made and powerful, but I'm disappointed in the keyless chuck, which cannot grab any hammer drill bit very tightly, leading to the chuck spinning around a stationary drill bit on occasion. The chuck is at least partly plastic, and seems to have a built-in stop mechanism which prevents it from turning any tighter, and I've tried bits from a couple different makers, all with the same result. Also, even with brand new bits, this drill doesn't drive through concrete block like it should, not very much better than my old B&D drill did with standard masonry bits. With the hammer driver off, it's an excellent standard drill, and I use it for that now with good results. But I'm already looking for a new hammer drill. I'd suggest you pay a bit more and get a good keyed metal chuck on whichever model you buy.
By J. Olsson (CA, USA)
I got less than 30 minutes of use out of this hammer drill before the chuck failed completely. It hammered and drilled very well, but after changing drill bits a few times, the chuck would not release the bit. The bits that came with the tool dulled very quickly. I have used many Makita tools in the past with good results, and this is the first tool from Makita that has disappointed me.
By Raymond Toro (usa)
Used a discounted Hammer drill and burnt it out.I purchased this Makita because of the price and that it is a Makita drill.I have 2 Makita drills and I have had them for years.I have used this drill to drill through solid concrete block in my home to run cable.The drill did a fantastic job.For the money this is a good buy,I recommend it.

Bought this used and very happy with it. Loaned to my neighbor to drive a bunch of 3" screws into treated lumber and he is now shopping for one. Have used hammer drill for many projects including Tapcon's. Now that I have a tool designed for driving screws I can go back to using the drill to drill :)
By barncat (pa)
The gears in these drills are terrible. They start grinding and the chuck does not spin. It starts in the most used speed, # 3, and when that wears out, the user tries to get by, by using the middle speed # 2. Then # 1. They have been having problems for years. I had a drill, from over 2 years ago, and it happened, so i went out and purchased another drill, since i thought well i'll have two chargers and four batteries to use for the setup with two drills, and possibly additional Makita cordless tools. I did not even get my first drill off to the factory for repair, and it happened to the other drill within two months. The second was purchased last April. I actually just sent them both to the factory last week. Meanwhile, I am using my 18 volt Sears Craftsman drill which has been going for 9 years now at only $99.00. If they did not resolve the problem with the gears within a 2 year period, I doubt that they resolved it now. if they did, then I am glad I waited to send them in for repair now. The original Makita drill I purchased was on sale when I bought it, because my Dewalt drill went after about 6 years of heavy use. Otherwise, I would have stuck with Sears or Dewalt, which also seemed very durable and lasted for many years.I will update this review if I have an unfavorable result with Makita Authorized Service Center. Otherwise, you can assume they fixed my drills.
By Samuel A. Mead (Florence, MA)
I've owned a variety of cordless tools, the latest being Grizzly 18V, and had learned to live with short battery life and less than impressive power. This kit changes all my perceptions about cordless tools. The drill/driver is powerful, and the impact driver, though small is a dynamo. I used both when building a tree house for my kids. Over the two weekends I worked, I never recharged the battery. Meanwhile I was driving 4-inch lags, 2- inch deck screws, tightening carriage bolts. The impact driver is a bit loud, but is so fast, the noise was secondary to concentrating on the depth I was driving lags. BTW: I tried the impact wrench on my car's lug nuts and it zipped them off and on. The only reason I don't give it a 5-star rating is because tools, while great performers, have a "light-weight" feel to them, like they might not hold up over time with heavy use, but that's just speculation. Since my tools will be largely relegated to my workshop, they will be pretty pampered, so not a major concern. I am very pleased with this kit so far.
By Steve Barlow (Bend, OR)
This impact driver is my favorite power tool. I now love to drive screws. I have been working this machine in the heat and grime, it looks beat..... but keeps driving strong. I have not owned another impact diver so cannot make comparisons to others, but I have only good comments for the makita 18 volt impact driver. The drill also is a quality tool. My only complaint is that the battery charger seems a bit slow, and there is no indication of remaining charge on batteries.
By Vladimir A. Titov (Sacramento, Ca USA)
After trying all other brand name cordless tools, I was tired of using all of that junk so I purchased these cordless tools and I am very satisfied. I work in many areas of construction and use the tools on a daily basis. They are very comfortable to use and my hand does not get tired. They are very powerful and have a good battery life. These are the best tools that I have ever used in my entire life.

I listened to the last guy that reviewed this hammer and ordered one the next day rather than renting one. If I would have just done that years ago I wouldn't be going in for shoulder surgery right now.
I used the hammer on rock for a solid day last week while digging a 100ft, main water line ditch that was in rock infested hard packed virgin soil. I was just amazed at how well the Makita electric hammer could work. It was a true enjoyment to use. Just make sure you let the weight of the hammer do the work for you... don't force it. Also don't forget to order a chisel or point for the hammer it doesn't come with one. On rock the Bosch HS2161 20-Inch x 20-1/2-Inch Moil Point worked best.
It was around 20 bucks through Amazon.
Yeah....and the case that came with the hammer is made of such thin metal that by the time you recieve it, it can either be uses for a hampster box or you can do like I did and T-Bone it in the round can. It came so completly bashed up it was hardly worth keeping. Now days when it says handle with care on the side...the shippers think that it means, " you can drop it from a fork lift and it will be just fine."
You won't be dissipointed with the hammer though. A great buy!! jz
By Jonathan K. Perkins (Harbor City, CA, USA)
Like the other reviewers noted, those who have rented breakers from home centers often end up thinking about buying. The large breakers I've rented are great, but VERY heavy and a real workout to use. The Makita HM1304B is lighter but powerful and, for me, easier to handle. Mine came in a plastic case with wheels, and included a single moll-point chisel. It's the perfect choice for me and I'm completely satisfied.
By S. Turner (Northern California United States)
Any body who's had to break a fair amount of concrete knows the dilema- keep renting the 60 pound Bosch at a hundred bucks a day (including driving) or bite the bullet and buy this Makita breaker. But will the Makita get the job done and how fast? The answers are: yes it will do about any thing the big Bosch will, but only about 60-75% as fast. Pound for pound though, the Makita is more tool, which means YOU won't get as beat up in the process. And since you're not renting, you can space the (lessened) punishment out over more time. This tool is light enough to one hand at verticle, so you can alternate hands too. I'm more of a Hitachi and Bosch guy, but Makita makes good stuff, and this breaker is plenty tough to stand up to abuse. Tools-of-the-Trade magazine just did a test of breakers that comes out in favor of this tool also. Contrary to the picture, no point or any other accessories are included, so be sure to order an 1 1/8 tool, the longer the better. Amazon ships this in Makita's box, which has zero padding over the steel case. Consider it a steel shipping case because it WILL get toasted in shipping, though the tool itself is pretty much indestructable.
By rubismardi (California, USA)
I bought this tool as a homeowner to remove large amounts of slab, fence footings and digging clay. I wanted to do a little at a time since there was alot of work to be done as opposed to renting a larger brute 60 lb. at the rental center.
I compared this to the bosch and dewalt SDS hammers and couldn't find any info on what thickness concrete these hammers could remove. I took a look at both hammers at homeless depot and the sales people at several stores couldn't answer my question. Neither could the bosch tech line. So I went with the heavier 1 1/8 bits just to be sure, glad I did. This hammer excells with 4" slab, I have used it to break up to 8" but it takes longer and you wind up with more rubble than chunks. I think I would have been dissapointed with the SDS hammers for my use. You don't want to be sweeping up concrete pebbles and dust. You do want this think to cut 25lb chunks. The others had more options like variable impact but that doesn't seem to matter. I bought a makita 1" demo hammer to take care of tile and scrape floors.
Have been very satisfied with this tool and glad I went with this choice. Wish I had bought it sooner since I seem to use it all the time. I hesitated with the price but it is worth the time and labor saved.
By D. paris (California)
I'm a General Contractor building 200 to 1000sq' additons and buying and flipping houses. In my area it's about $190 to rent a air jack for the day + time giong to the rental yard and back + still having to pay rental fees when rained out + kick my rear trying to get done fast and return the rental and p-off the neighbors with the noise! The Makita 1304 is a great tool for me, it's paid for it's self verses renting! Granted it is a little slower than air but I like being able to hug my honey at the end of the day, use the tool at my will, Jackhammer side wall if nessisary, and not p-off the neighbors with noise! The first time I used the Makita 1304 it seamed slow busting the first piece untill I saw it was over 8" thick, but on 4-6" it busts through great, not to heavy, not to noisy,a great tool I highly recommend. I bought a long point bit and it puts the tool at the perfect hight so you back won't blow out (a big plus with the little Lady). The tool comes with a metal storage box thats surprizingly small for a big tool and still has room to store a couple bits. It's a Great Tool for a hard job.
