🔋 Makita XRH01Z Brushless Cordless Lithium Ion Review

Amazing clout if you have a corded rock drill on the job site and you lug around the cord all day and need a long cord every time you get bored . Really saves time. Use it to drive joists into a concrete slab and do it with ease. The only thing I would like is a hanging clip to hang it on the stairs when not in use. I had to tie a rope to it to keep it from falling.

I am replacing a Hilti TE15 with this drill. While the Hilti is a great drill, this one works with rings around it. Drills a 3/4 inch hole in concrete in half the time. Backward on the shot is a must. Diligent, drilling/hammering/hammering/backwards. Configured for use with a vacuum nozzle per OSHA requirements. Great truck storage tool If you're looking for home use, this is great, but might be overkill.

Overall a very good drill in this class. When idling, the load on the battery is 5.5A, which is a very good result compared to the brushed predecessor model with a whopping 15A. Which led to overheating of the batteries and, as a result, faster wear and failure. The quality of the gears in the gearbox leaves much to be desired (they work very noisily), the previous model did not have such a problem. Makita, can't you make something highly polished, isn't that doable for you? I do not think so.
