Comment:
I have owned a Factory Rebuilt version of this tool for several years. Best hammer drill I have purchased. I am a Commercial HVAC technician that does heavy construction. I use it in hammer drill mode on a regular basis at work- goes through concrete like a champ, and steel decking quickly... with a new bit. Once the bit gets a few dozen holes, this drill does not do as well as the dewalt my coworkers use. At home I use it to drill through wood for landscaping. I highly recommend this to anyone under the age of 50 who does a lot of cordless hammer drilling.<br /><br />Caution, if you are older, like my 50 something parents, this hammer drill is NOT for you- it is too heavy and if the bit catches it will hurt your wrist for a few days.
How long have you owned it:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
The only negative that I read and then verified on my own model is that the chucks are slightly off centered. I read this in a review and sure enough my model also suffers from this malady. A drill bit placed in its chuck will wobble ever so slightly as it turns. Luckily as an electrician I rarely need super accuracy- but it would be nice-especially if I'm drilling a hole that needs to be tapped. However I'm fully vested in the Makita 18 volt li-on platform and I like all the tools. I got this drill for [$] as a bare tool purchase. That means: without the battery and charger. I also own the 6 1/2 circular saw[$], the reciprocating saw[$]-all bare tools and my original purchase an impact driver with 2 batteries and charger.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
