Review on Makita HP2010N 4 Inch Hammer Drill by Raymond Iglesias

This is my first hammer drill and the build quality and feel of the drill makes me think this will be the only hammer drill I will ever need to buy. I have several Makita tools from cordless drills and grinders and this drill fits again. I used it for a few days to fix a porch that the carpenter bees had completely destroyed. I drilled some 1/2" holes in the block and three 7" deep 5/8" holes in the cast concrete to attach the 6x6 stud brackets to the porch stud posts. All of this was drilled with no problems. Drilled 5/8" holes with gears in the low position as recommended in the owner's manual. By the way, the two-speed gearbox is in a metal housing and, in my opinion, is worth the money. Overall an excellent drill. If I had to do it again I would buy this drill again.
