Drilling through concrete will be a breeze with the Makita cordless rotary hammer drill. There are three modes to pick from — rotation only, hammering with rotation, and hammering only — that will ensure you’ll be able to use it for just about any situation you come across. What’s even nicer is the fact this comes in at 7.7 pounds, making it lightweight enough to use for extended durations without becoming too fatigued. There’s also a built-in LED light that illuminates your work area if you’re having trouble seeing. To top it all off, this fully cordless power tool allows you to hammer concrete without being attached to a wall outlet.
User reviews for the Makita hammer drill come in at 4.7 out of five on Home Depot’s website, and you can pick it up for $219. This price is for the tool only, so you’ll need to have an extra battery lying around or spend a bit more to pick one up. Some reviewers cite the drill is not powerful enough for heavy work and drains the battery quickly, so just be aware that it’s mostly going to be used for DIY jobs versus professional ones. If you’re not doing demolition work, you should be fine with Makita’s cordless drill.
