Review on πŸ’ͺ Powerful and Precise: Makita HR5000 2 Inch Rotary Hammer for Efficient Drilling by Robert Aliraqi

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Heavy duty demolition drill and demolition hammer

I bought one of these when they first came out (over 5 years ago?) and have used them endlessly for drilling 3 Inch uses holes for mounting rails. Never gets hot. Never had a problem. A bit heavy and tedious to use, but I think it comes with territory. When I bought it it was rated as the largest drill bit on the market and it has stood the test, however it's too heavy for the smaller bits (less than 1/2 inch) as it just smashes them to dust. But you can't go wrong if you're looking for performance and reliability. And also. that's $200 cheaper than it was a few years ago.

Pros
  • Powerful 11Amp motor delivers 2100bpm for the most demanding applications
Cons
  • Some little things
