They might have a price tag but at the end of the day all my Makita tools work as they should. Today that cordless honed out two cylinders with a rigid hone then a ball hone that's serious continous run with a decent load. No hesitation no overload the drill didn't even get warm.

5.0 out of 5 stars What's Not To Love About Makita?!
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2021
Style: Kit w/ 2.0Ah BatteriesVerified Purchase
When it comes to power tools, I buy nothing but Makita. None of their tools have ever let me down. I bought this hammer drill to fill the gap between my Makita impact drill/driver and my corded Makita SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer Drill. The rotary hammer is a real beast and it breezes through any concrete drilling job I've ever done. BUT it's big and it's heavy and requires two hands to operate. Sometimes it's just too much drill for a smaller job like drilling a small hole in concrete block to install an anchor or a Tapcon. So this is where the cordless hammer drill comes in handy. It's the perfect tool for those smaller jobs. It's plenty powerful to get the job done in short order, but without the hassle of manhandling the big rotary hammer. It's got all the quality and great features I've come to expect from Makita over the past 20+ years and it's a pleasure to use. It's comfortable in the hand and the power for its fairly compact, lightweight frame is impressive. Its versatility makes it useful in so many different job applications. The Makita LXT battery system is the best in the business! What more could anyone ask for?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Workhorse
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2018
Style: Kit w/ 2.0Ah BatteriesVerified Purchase
I purchased this drill to replace an older Makita BHP454 that finally wore out. The drill is significantly lighter and smaller than the BHP454, but performs equally well, in my opinion. During a two-day construction project that included building a 20x26 foot deck with an attached gazebo, I was able to test all aspects of this tool and it passed with flying colors. Driving 3" deck screws was generally no problem, although I found in some cases I had to switch to hammer drill (louder) mode when I maxed out the clutch in the screw driving mode at the higher speed setting. The drill was used constantly during deck laying, and I'm guessing the 2 amp/hr battery lasted 45-60 minutes. Given the fast charge time, we were never without a fully charged battery. The drill also did well drilling long pilot holes for 8-12 inch timber-lock screws, and was able to easily drive the screws using hammer mode. For general drilling, the chuck ran true and I could imagine using it for cabinet work instead of my beloved Festool CXS. There were no problems switching between modes, nor did I have any issues with the forward-reverse slide switch. My only ding is there was no bit holder included, so I purchased one on Amazon (MAK4192762) and it fit perfectly on the side opposite the belt hook. I think this drill would work fine for most people unless you are attempting very fine scale work in close quarters (that's why I have the CXS) or very large construction projects. It is light, powerful, maneuverable, and didn't weigh down my tool belt as I climbed up and down ladders or over rafters all day long.

Let me start by saying I'm reviewing only the product (meaning this drill), with my rating. Makita seems to hold true to their history of quality with this drill. It is VERY compact, about an inch shorter than my XPH06. The shift between modes feels very solid and it is well balanced in the hand. The speed shift is a bit difficult to switch, but not terrible and the firm switch will prevent accidental actuation. The chuck is an upgrade over the previous model and the hammer function feels good. The slop that was an annoyance in the chuck on the XPH06 is gone, along with the hammer action when in drill mode. I have yet to really put it through its paces, but so far so good.

My only gripe is with the seller. To save on shipping costs, the seller removed the drill from the box and drop shipped it via USPS in a bubble pack with no additional padding. Worst packing and shipping I've ever experienced with Amazon. It arrived with a piece of the drill case misaligned at the back of the battery receptor, as if it had been dropped. Not ideal and extraordinarily disappointing. Will not do business with the seller again if this is how they ship their products.

I finally did it - I splurged and got the top end model. Being brushless, it runs with greater power while using less battery. If you need it for a lot of ongoing work, just do it and pay for the better quality. However, if you are an occasional home improvement person that rarely uses one, you can save a lot of money with a cheaper quality one, and Harbor Freight sells many.
