Contractors and serious DIYers, this Makita rotary hammer is an absolute beast! The brushless motor delivers serious power - we're talking 2.0 joules of impact energy that chews through concrete without straining. What's amazing is how long it runs on that 5.0Ah battery - I've drilled dozens of anchor holes on a single charge.
The three-mode operation is so useful: rotation only for drilling, hammer with rotation for concrete, and hammer only for chiseling work. The variable speed trigger gives you perfect control, and at only 7.2 pounds, it's light enough for overhead work without killing your arms.
I've used this for everything from installing shelving to concrete demolition, and it outperforms some corded models I've worked with. The Star Protection system actually works too - the tool and battery communicate to prevent overheating. If you do any amount of concrete or masonry work, this cordless hammer will save you so much time and hassle compared to dragging around extension cords.
