Makita DHR202Z 18V Li-Ion LXT 20mm SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer - Batteries and Charger Not Included

I’ve been using this Makita DHR202Z for a few weeks now and it performs perfectly. It has great power for drilling through concrete and brick, yet it’s still easy to handle and control. The build quality feels solid and professional as you’d expect from Makita. The battery life is impressive and it works smoothly with my other LXT tools. It’s also surprisingly comfortable to use for longer periods thanks to the good balance and vibration control. Overall a very dependable and powerful tool that delivers excellent results every time.

Fantastic drill for the price. It's a shame that it doesn't come with any batteries or charger and they are expensive to buy separate. I actually bought some knock off batteries and charger from Amazon which work fine with it. I've had no problems with it yet and use it all day in all 3 settings doing mainly brickwork and masonry drilling.

Great piece of kit very powerful

Great tool highly recommend

Very good drill

got to replace old of 7 years hard graft stitch drilling openings, 20mm concrete bolt holes, 600mm x 25mm auger bits into sleeper stacks and thousands of 6mm red plug holes. this new one just seems a little less powerful than the identical old one. only time will tell

Great customer service from this company. Very quick delivary kept informed about shipping and great price.

In a world full of products with 5 star reviews I've come to expect to be slightly underwhelmed by products once I receive them and they don't live up to the hype. This drill fully deserves the plaudits. We have recently move into a house where everything is made of extremely hard stuff, and my regular hammer action corded drill wasn't really up to what should have been easy jobs. I chose this model as I already owned the required battery system so it was relatively inexpensive compared some of the other corded or cordless options. This is the first SDS drill I've used so I don't know if this drill's performance is typical of SDS drills or if it is in fact a stand-out example of what an SDS drill should be. In any case, it makes extremely light work of drilling masonry and concrete. As an example, even for a modest sized 6mm diameter hole to a depth of 40mm my standard hammer drill would often require the use of slowly increasing bit sizes and was taking many minutes per bit. The Makita is capable of doing to job with a single bit and in less than 30 seconds. The variable speed trigger is excellent and I found the slowest speed perfect for getting each hole started without any of the wander I would typically get from my old drill. I have a modest 3.0Ah battery which would rarely need charging when it was powering my Makita combi drill. The DHR202Z does appear to consume a lot of power: after around 5 minutes drilling on a fully charged battery the indicated battery level was already down to 75% (the level indicator of the battery is rather crude so it's difficult to say exactly what the remaining capacity was). If I were planning to use this drill for any more than light DIY, or if this was my first LXT-powered tool, I would definitely be looking to buy one (or more) of the higher capacity batteries available.
