Having had this hammer drill prior to getting cordless version I was so very pleased with its capabilities and pleased to say I would highly recommend to anyone. Rotary hammers, also known as rotary hammer drills, are the most advanced corded power tools designed for heavy-duty tasks, such as drilling and chiselling a broad spectrum of hard materials. Boasting a SoftGrip handle, the Makita HR 2470 can be held conveniently for a fatigue-free performance. Any warranty claims outside of the 1st year but within the second or 3rd must be dealt with directly by Makita.

This product carries a full 3 year manufacturers warranty covering both faulty materials and faulty workmanship, it does not cover general wear and tear or damage, batteries, blades, bulbs and other consumables.I selected this drill due to its performance and relative light weight which is important when working off ladders. I do give them quite a hammering though and they eventually seem to bust when using a socket box sinking tool. Unlike most conventional hammer drills, the Makita SDS HR2470 rotary hammer is engineered with an electro-pneumatic (EP) hammering mechanism, providing you much bigger impact force and optimum drilling capacity. Very powerful for its size and drills effortlessly through very hard bricks and concrete my hammer drills wouldnt touch. I have now added a set of chisels to the kit, and have removed the rendered tiles from the kitchen, plus channeled out the walls to take new power cables.

I deliberately went wired as I think SDS needs that extra umph that you can't get without spending mega bucks on a cordless.Some manufacturers will offer a direct repair or replacement service (as applicable) which will often resolve your problem more quickly.

You can change the speed of this Makita drill as per your surface requirements, thanks to its variable speed feature. Had 2 of these so far and have no complaints the grip is expecially handy and can be moved to a position to suit the job and the cable is a at a good length for those out of the way jobs.Great bit of kit however my only negative comment I can give is that the push button on the side of the handle to keep the drill running without having to hold the trigger pops out on its own too easily which can mean constant stop starting when using it in hammer action to remove render etc. Equipped with a high-power, high-efficiency motor, the Makita HR 2470 cordless drill helps you to complete your operations swiftly.
