I absolutely love this drill. Admittedly, I used it on one occasion, to drill a 1/2″ diameter hole through a solid brick wall, and then to drill multiple (maybe 8 or 9) 3/8″ diameter pilot holes for masonry screws. With new bits, the drill cut through the wall in 10 seconds or less.This drill is VERY powerful for the money. It’s 6 amps. To put that in perspective, I have a Skil hammer drill that I got as a hand-me-down from my grandfather. The thing is a workhorse, and it’s only 3.6 amps. I also have a DeWalt that is significantly outpowered by this drill.It looks, feels, and even sounds like a high quality, professional grade tool. The cord is thick and has plenty of length, although plan on using an extension cord if you’re not five feet from an outlet. The extra handle is a nice feature and provides some much-needed extra leverage. I spent a little extra for a Makita because they are one of the only (if not the only) power tool company that still at least assembles their tools here in the USA. I like supporting our economy when I can, and I thank Makita for making that possible.With my unfailing patriotism, I really want to like this tool, so I may be a little biased. It would not be fair, however, for me to not point out a couple of flaws. First of all, the chuck on my drill is NOT 5/8″, it is 1/2″. That’s not a HUGE concern, because I don’t own any bits that are larger than a half inch at the base anyway. Even my 1 inch diameter masonry bit can be used in a half inch chuck. Also, it is a keyed chuck (which I preferred in this instance), but I can see how the key would be easy to round off. Tighten with caution. Thirdly, there may come as no surprise, but there is no brake on this drill, so you may want to reconsider if you find yourself about to use it on projects that require any level of delicacy. Finally, this drill does not come with a case. Minor setback, but a setback nonetheless.These downsides for me are minor and I hesitated to even take away one star. When I purchased this drill, I was looking for a corded (so I don’t have to deal with charging batteries), keyed-chuck (no loose bits), American-made, semi-professional grade hammer drill. I got exactly what I wanted.

Needed this hammer drill for a home project. Met the requirement perfectly.

I used this Makita 5/8 Hammer Drill too anchor bolt a dog pen to a concrete slab. Had no problems with 1/2 holes. The nice thing about this drill is it has a dual mode. Nice power to handle middle of the road work. The cost is reasonable for what you get. If your doing a lot of work with concrete. Be sure to clean out the concrete dust, with a burst of air pressure. It will last much longer if you do. It’s not a Hilti but for around the house it’s a nice tool.

It worked great and was a good price and value

Was purchased for 1/2 drill bits and 3/8 for concrete drilling. The concrete was poured in 1988 and 30 years later – we are rebuilding the porch. The first drill took it very well with no hiccups, but upon changing the direction of the rotation (to counter-clock-wise), it stopped and would not respond. Hit it with a hand a few times – started working. Perhaps bad contacts inside. Stopped by HD and they replaced with no issues.This drill has quite a bit of torque! Light on weight.The second drill has proven to be with no glitches – we are very happy with this Makita. Next – will be 18v cordless one.

A solid drill, I haven’t used the hammer mode yet, but I purchased it for regular drilling and as a back-up for a cordless drill. So far I like it except for the forward/ reverse switch, just not used to it. Good power, its a hefty drill.

Superior quality tool. Does exactly what it is supposed to do, anything from mixing paint to drilling concrete.
Kian Hudson (verified owner) –
We put the Makita hammer drill right to work, screwing bolts into concrete walls. It has worked as we had hoped, without a problem, and has expanded our repair and construction capabilities at home.
Dorcas Purdy (verified owner) –
Very powerful both as a hammer drill and a standard drill. Work great in mixing products like cement and drywall mud.
Meghan Hamill (verified owner) –
Great tool all the way around. High power and torque.

I used this tool to install my hurricane shutters, it drilled thru the concrete with no problems. It beats any tool I used previously,it was a very good purchase.
Russell Stokes (verified owner) –
Have many Makita tools, I use them for my work.This one does not seem to be as ones I have purchased in the past.I will look for a different Makita hammer drill when this one burns up.

REALLY POWERFUL. MAKES THE JOB EASY WHEN YOU USE THE RIGHT QUALITY TOOL.

very powerful, drills into concrete quicker then most drills go into wood.
Edyth Langosh (verified owner) –
I like that it can be used as both a hammer drill and regular drill…very versatile.

I had bought a larger “Red” hammer drill, thinking it’s bigger motor (in Amps) meant more power and better performance, and I was wrong. I was really surprised to see that the Makita was made (at least assembled) in America.For a small, fairly lightweight drill, it packs quite a bit of power. I love the keyed chuck, because it grips bits much tighter. The 360-degree rotatable handle and depth rod come in handy for doing multiple anchors. Sure beats taping my hammer bits. I also love that the forward/reverse switch actually moves the brushes, as opposed to just changing a gear setting. This means you get full power in reverse.One of the other reviewers said the tool wasn’t as advertised, because it’s a 1/2″ chuck, not a 5/8″. When dealing with hammer drills, or larger rotary hammers, the “size” refers to capacity (hole size), not chuck size. What that means is this has about 25% larger drilling capacity vs. a 1/2″ hammer drill.Bottom line, this will not twist your arm off with power, but it has way more than enough power. When a smaller motor can drill a larger hole (as compared to the red or yellow hammer drills that cost $99 or more), that goes to show you that the tool itself is stronger and better-built. It doesn’t have to rely on a bigger motor to get the job done.I recommend this drill to anyone I know who is looking for a basic electric drill, even if they don’t think they need a hammer. It weighs less than the 3/8″ drills on the market, performs better, and gives the added benefit of being able to drill into concrete/brick/block!
