Compact and lightweight.
Variable speed trigger allows the operator to adjust the speed based on the material or application and has 3 mode operation, for rotation only, hammer with rotation or hammer only. The modified operation mode change lever enables to switch from rotation to hammering mode and vice versa without rotating the chuck.

Super all rounder! Having a drill that has three functions of drilling, hammer drilling and chiselling in one is a winner to anyone’s tool chest especially with the quality of Makita!
Amazing drill best I’ve ever had for masonry. The only down side is the drill bits I had I could not use so has to buy new sds plus drill bits. But worth the pain as i can drill through brick and cement like through butter.
Purchased to do the heavier duty masonary work which I was using my battery combo drill to do.
Should have bought 1 years ago!! Makes light work of everything I need to do. I would be stood there for ages with my combo drill trying to drill holes in brick – and not doing my drill any favours what do ever!
This thing just flies through anything I’ve put in front of it.
Usual Makita quality with a nice sturdy case too. Bought the Makita SDS drill bit pack too.
Will last for years
Excellent drill as good as the bosch gbh2-26
Works well with diamond core bits
Good torque limiter to save your wrists
Sds + …not a chuck… its in the description…Read it numpties, buy an sds+ chuck ..duh
Not supplied with drill bits …why would it ?
Makita produce well made bullet proof kit , own lxt cordless too, buy them too
Other inferior products are also available
bought because of the light weight, number of hits per minute and most importantly the Joules of the hitting. compared to old hammer drill which took 10 mins to get 1 cm into old concreate flooring slab, this took about 15 secs to drill the 25 mm I needed.
Very pleased with it 🙂
Edit after a year – its dam good, mine came with no drills but its got some real power and very happy with i
Perfect quick delivery, tried everything works perfectly . Made from solid materials.
Excellent quality as with all Makita equipment. Best choice to drill in any type of wall. I got a cordless combo drill and I only use this one for drilling in walls; it goes through anything like butter (I went through 24cm cavity wall from outside with no effort, hammer drill performance is very good).
Chisel function is pretty nice and powerful (for this size).
It’s a heavy tool (compared with cordless ones) but a beast and makes the job very easy.
Recommended.
A must have product in your tool kit.Quality and great value!!
I bought this drill after reading the reviews and must say it is one of the best drills I have had.
A quality piece of equipment that ‘slices’ through the concrete that I needed to break up. A nice thing to own. Recommended.
Used for most things, works well. Does tend to get hot quick
Purchased 5 years ago and has been thrown about used countless number of times but is still going strong. its not the strongest and most powerful of SDS but for the price its well worth i
My first one lasted 12 years of almost daily use. Wouldn’t buy any other brand.
I needed a drill to cut through a concrete floor. I needed to create a drainage channel along the side of my house. I was worried about which drill to buy. Cordless or corded? Was it big enough? Could it cope with a concrete floor.
I shouldn’t have worried. With the correct chisel attachments this drill sliced into the floor like it wasn’t even there. Love it and would highly recommend.
Classic Makita quality.. high feedback from the drill, I think the higher model reduces the jumpy/feedback when in use.
For the money I don’t think you can buy better quality
I was worried this would be too low powered for breaking poorly laid concrete below slabs I was resetting, as a lot of the cheaper brands are higher powered. But it’s great, went through it like butter. I’d spent a day previously trying by hand and this did more in 5 minutes! Feels well made, decent length cable, variable speed trigger, decent case. Happy I paid a bit more for a good brand. Comes with zero drill bits or breaker accessories, but I already had those.
Does the job brilliantly. I only ever buy Makita and this product justifies it. Helping me remove patio with ease.
Great so far, very pleased with it’s performance. Fairly priced too.
Pleasantly surprised. Coming from using an 18v cordless drill on masonry to this monster it was like night and day. A job that would have taken me ages (10mm masonry holes ) with the cordless took no word of a lie 5 seconds per 10cm hole with this drill. Paired it up with sds extreme 2 de walt bits which were also faultless. Scary how efficient it is
I was abit aprehensive of paying over 100 for a hammer drill but im really happy i did. I have used this drill for household use,putting up shelves,tv bracket, other wall units and i must say it is by far the best drill i have ever had it makes light work of drilling holes. Comes with the added bonus of a storage case. Great value for money.
Are used to dread drilling in to masonry around my house the redbrick is extremely hard and I just spent A lot of time and much sweat drilling the simplest of holes for raw plugs This drill is like a knife through butter why didn’t I buy this years ago
Fantastic drill for drilling concrete, brick, wood. Solid construction, had many of drills before but this is the best, always used battery previously but this mains drill is far more powerful.
Tried diferent brands with prices 30 and 70 gbp from the range and b&q from diferent colleagues.
Waste of time and strengh, if you have concrete get this its an overkill
Don’t like these star categories. They’re pointless for reviews. A hammer drill of this quality will not be light weight!
The Makita hammer drill is brilliant! Like a hot knife through butter when drilling . I had one before but gave it away as means of payment for some services a friend provided for me when I went overseas. Coming back I quickly missed it so got this one, together with the sds drill set. Loving it!
Is quite heavy if using at head height, but well balanced and still lighter than many of its rivals. Have only used it a few times so far but goes through most types of brick fairly well. Still had problems getting a tidy hole through a concrete window lintel. However tried with a more powerful industrial SDSdrill and still had problems so I think the makita is adequate for most DIY projects.
I had a very similar Mikita hammer drill for 20years.It was used for my Heating business it lost a bit of hydraulic fluid so it had to be replaced. I think the price was less than 20years ago so it was a good purchase.
I have purchased this as hubby’s Christmas present couple of years back, he uses it all the time and it’s still working perfectly fine. Really pleased with a purchase.
A friend of mine recommended Makita and I am pleased I took his advice. Really pleased with this Makita HR2630 26 mm 3 Mode SDS Plus Rotary Hammer Drill. Just note that the chuck only accepts SDS Plus drill bits although I believe a swap out chuck is available for standard drill bits
Its easy to use, powerful and lightweight. It does the job in style.
I bought this without knowing what SDS meant !! However, as I was knocking out a doorway it was the correct choice and a brilliant drill. Really happy.
Great drill! Purchased it to drill 40 holes through concrete at 26mm diameter and 15cm deep. Went through the concrete like butter! This ones for the serious diyer/tradesmen.
Excellent drill for all the jobs I need to carry out.
brilliant tool easy use love diy as a woman found the product excedded my expectations and the suppliers where great and packaged the item excellent and arrived promptly will recommend the suppliers Alan Wadkins Limited Chestnut street Darlington DL1 1QJ phone 01325464496
Prompt delivery of a well packaged boxed drill with bits as promised.
I have used this a lot both drilling and chiselling and it has done every job well, the bits are good quality not cheap crap.
Thanks
Great product. I love the fact that is so powerful that drilling into concrete is just a few seconds job ( unlike the other drills I had )
Delivered on time as expected from amazon. This drill is amazing and cuts through concrete walls like butter, exactly what i needed. You need specific makita drill bits for the drill to work which don’t come with the drill, you need to buy them separately.
You need to be aware of the power of the hammer drill function and gradually put on the power. – but really good.
If you need to make holes in something, look no further.
Feels a similar weight to a conventional hammer drill but with so much greater force. I blunted a standard drill bit on a normal hammer drill before switching to this, 2 seconds later the hole was the required depth and width with minimal effort – like a hot knife through butter.
Cord is a really good length
Really is a game changer if drilling into solid walls a lot.
I have used a Bosch alternative before, but prefer the more classic set-up and grips.
Easy to use and change drill bits – would recommend getting some grease for the first few used as a minimum though.
eplaced my dewalt which packed up with this, love i
only used once so far but had enough power to go through a 9” wall. reasonably cheap and did the job
Purchased as a Christmas present. The outside cardboard cover was a bit battered but the rest was good.
This is a good quality drill for a good price.
Bought it, loved it, too disabled to use it, had to send it back.
Light enough to be easily handleable. I have used this to drill through 80cm stone-rubble walls without encountering any overheating problems
A great drill, made light work of a brick wall that I wanted to demolish, and drilled into 200mm concret with ease.
I’d argue it’s a little overkill for day to day DIY use (I actually purchased a Makita cordless after). but for anything more it’s absolutely fantastic. Used for drilling LOTS of big holes into brick and blockwork, also used with chisels and scutch combs for removing tiles, bits of walls, chasing out, demolishing bathrooms/kitchens etc etc. Just a super versatile bit of kit.
The fact it’s also an absolute bargain, has a torque limiter (I believe – please double check!) and has a hammer only mode make this a superb buy for somebody who needs to do ‘proper’ work but doesn’t need to to all-in at professional prices.
First Class product and great service – much appreciated – Thanks
Top quality. Indeed cuts through bricks like butter with minimal effort. Even the box is top quality.
Can’t go wrong with Makita, and this drill doesn’t disappoint! Very pleased with its quality, function, design and value for money. Good work makita!
Excellent drill, managed to split 300mm of fairly strong concrete very easily. The chuck the best feature, clicking in the bits works very well and they do not work loose the way my twist chuck did. Weight is fine and metal depth guide is better than plastic ones I have seen. Having controls on both sides is handy. The hammer only option with chisel bits is really useful when breaking out. It didn’t come with bits but I got the box of assorted Makita bits which has just the right mix for me. Why didn’t I get this sooner!
Great drill. Smaller than I expected and lighter, but packs a good punch. Also used this to mix plaster and it does a good job, although I would suggest not doing this long term.
This thing packs a punch, I had a 25 hammer drill from Black and Decker, and this blows it out of the water. for ages I was trying to install a hook in my ceiling and not having much luck as the ceiling in my house was solid as hell. I bought this and it glided right through. Every job I’ve been on I normally try my smaller drill just for mobility but when that won’t cut it, this boy comes out and so far, drill vs surface, has never been defeated.
Comes with a nice range of SDS bits too and a great case.
The one small downside is it sometimes a little too easy to accidentally lock the drill trigger due to the location and sensitivity of the lock button so the drill keeps rotating,but once you get used to it you can adjust your hand position slightly
I bought this drill because I have had a Makita hammer drill for over 30 years and it’s getting tired. This one has knocked a wall down, drilled a 90mm long hole for a water main and chisled concrete. Excellent buy.
Hammer operation works very well on tough breeze blocks. Very noisy but compared to drilling fruitlessly for 15 minutes with non-SDS drill may be not so inconvenient. Bought on offer so good value for money.
My partners chuffed to bits with this drill I bought him for Christmas.
Quick delivery. Strong plastic case just the job
Very good just as you would expect from a Makita product it compliments my cordless hammer drill. Used it to break up two brick pillars with extremely hard mortar joints it worked a trea
Bet thing I have bought! Cuts through back Col, stone and concrete like butter. Worth every penny.
I’ll be getting an impact driver nex
A lovely bit of kit and an excellent price – good tools are worth their weight in gold and this is no exceptio
Fabulous tool, does just what it says on the ti
Nice drill but no bits supplied, returned for a re-fund. Could have easily kept this but the drill bits should have been supplied as advertised
Fabulous stuff, really goes through masonry like a hot knife through butter. Previously had a cheaper hammer drill with some good quality bits, but this is on another level. Hardly any pressure needed at all, just let the bit do the work at a low to medium speed and all is well! Mine didn’t ship with any bits to go with the drill, however it doesn’t say that it will in the description, therefore I think it is safe to assume that all units shipped now do not come with the set of drill bits some others mentioned previously.
Build quality excellent. E.g. the adjustable handle is held by a steel band which is tightened (rather than a simpler plastic clamping mechanism), e.g. the depth stop bar is steel, not plastic. Cable is good quality rubberised, very flexible, and 3+ metres long. Small things which typically indicate the designer cares about their product.
The case holds the drill and room for my “standard drill” chuck adapter and a set of small (160mm) drills, plus you can fit 300mm drill laying loose, but not quite enough room for the Makita 17 pc pouch set.
Now all I have to do is use it to drill some holes!
Quality Makita product, great drill does everything l bought it for cannot fault it and the hard case that comes with i
Value for money tool! Really happy! Came with some sds bits too!
using it nearly every day and have had no trouble with it. SDS drills that came with it still nice and sharp……….
brilliant ,so useful for many jobs, better in my view than cordless as maintains power, glad i bought i
Never disappointed with Makita tools, and this is no exception. Used it as a hammer up to now, but it has very good handling and strong hammer. Plan to use it as a drill over the coming days so I’ll follow up with another product review.
Update 19-SEP-2016
I have used the drill in reinforced C30 concrete and it drilled without problems when using Makita SDS bits. Highly recommended tool.
High quality SDS drill, comes with a good starter set of bits.
I spent 3 days and countless masonry drill bits trying to put up shelves in my stone wall house. I even put my back out trying to do this. Then i bought this drill…..AMAZING!! – like a hot knife through butter…….buy it, you won’t be disappointed.
A revelation. I had struggled with a normal hammer drill and various masonry bits to make much of an impression on the concrete beams of a French apartment. I used this and it went into the concrete so easily I thought there was something wrong at first. Just wished I’d known about it sooner. A great piece of kit and well worth the money if you are drilling into concrete or masonry.
Great tool, light and easy to operate. Powerful and good value for money. However, I find the position and the sensitivity of the lock button on the handle to be a drawback – when working in gloves the drill almost always goes into lock mode, which makes it less convenient when doing masonry work, not to mention a safety hazard if you’re not used to this feature.
Price was a surprise as I had been quoted a much higher price by other suppliers.
It does what it said on the description.
Delivery on the date quoted.
Brilliant service.
Thank You.
Great Makita drill, replaced the HR2610 , the switching between drill , hammer, and chisel is now alot easier, you dont even need to turn the chuck.Variable speed is controled by trigger and very good and progressive, the drill is also light compared to many with this power, ive used it for a few months now and still love it .
Given the number of other reviews on here, it’s pointless me adding another, but all I would say if you buy one is don’t forget to go onto the Makita UK site and register it (and the same goes for any Makita tools you buy) in order to get their three year guarantee.
This has the added benefit of recording its serial number with your details, so if it’s pinched by some scum sucker and then recovered, it will be traceable back to you.
Incidentally, you might find you can buy it cheaper on eBay, but beware, as there are a lot of sellers flogging non-UK Makita kit on there (I made the mistake of buying a cordless angle grinder, only to find it was from some obscure Arabian market) and you get absolutely no guarantee at all from Makita UK with non-UK kit. Stick to Amazon themselves and you’ll be okay.
As a builder iv had and used many drills by far this drill is superior great hard carrycase long tough cable
Excellent product and very good value for money. Would definitely recommend
eeded to update my drill, and I am glad i did .
Excellent bit of kit. I’m an electrician so an SDS Hammer drill that is lightweight and accurate is crucial. Love it! Could do with an extra long drill bit as part of the kit as there’s nothing long enough to get through a wall.
Lower costs to some others but does what I need it too, happy with the produc
Does what it says on the tin! Light, yet powerful and versatile. Excellent value for money.
OMG this drill is absolutely the business, a wonderful piece of kit and for the price a real steal.
WELL PLEASED
Decent quality carrying case too
I bought it to help with demolition of a conservatory and was a bit worried whether it would have the guts to get the job done (I questioned myself about that too to be honest). I needn’t have worried. It ate through the mortar holding the bricks in place like it wasn’t there, making taking the walls apart really easy. Bought a Faithfull 40mm Chisel Bit for lifting the floor tiles and in combination with the HR2630 that job was completed in minutes. Used it for drilling into the concrete footings this morning prior to removing them with a breaker and it went into the concrete with minimal effort. For such a lightweight tool it performs really well. After seeing how good this is and having enjoyed using my Makita LCT204W Cordless Drill Plus Impact Driver Kit for the last couple of years, Makita will be top of my list for future power tools.
Good product. Bought this to replace my 12 yr old Makita SDS which recently passed away.
100 x better then all I’ve tried.well made and built for the jobs other drills can’t do.
his is a very good strong and durable drill. it has been very handy and use full when needed.
Brilliant is the word that comes to mind!! I used this to drill out holes to knock out granite rocks from a floor i am lowering in a barn conversion. It went through it like butter!! Great drill.
Tools supplied with the drill were smaller than expected from images
Fantastic piece of kit and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a light weight SDS Drill. Received the said item the following day at no extra cost. Brilliant service.
