    Ottimo prodotto a un prezzo giusto per quello che offre, anche se un modello un po vecchio, ma pur sempre makita, vi consiglio per chi non lo sappia che sul sito della makita potete registrarlo per avere ben 3 anni di garanzia, spero di essere stato utile con la mia recensione

    Worth every penny
    This is my second Makita SDS (same model), bought after first one broke.
    So why repeat buy something that broke on me?
    Because it took 7 years of almost daily use/abuse for it to break. That breaker owed me nothing and worked great until the day it finally decided enough was enough. I was half way through chiselling tile adhesive off a floor so was a bit stuck. I got on YT and found a video of someone stripping this model down to see if I could eke another half day out if it. Upon stripping it down I realised 2 things; firstly, it was worn out, just really worn out from hundreds of hours of use and was unfixable. Secondly I realised what an incredibly solid piece of quality engineering this is. I started life as an aircraft machinist so I know a bit about quality engineering and this IS.
    I ordered a replacement with no qualms; for ~150 this machine is an absolute bargain.

    Oh..and as an aside…I know ppl with other brands of supposedly same spec SDS machines and they say the Makita beats the pants off them

    Great compact drill.
    Nice weight and plenty of power. I like the idea of being able to put a dust collector on.

    Great power, great value
    Was a bit worried that it would lack power since it’s not in the 300 price range. No issues whatsoever, whether drilling or breaking. Battery lasts about 25 minutes so you’ll need a couple on rotation.

    Packs an impressive punch
    Very pleased with this chordless SDS drill from Makita. I also have an Erbauer 1500w mains powered SDS that weighs more than twice as much, and this little chordless seems to drill and chisel through brick with almost as much gusto but is so much easier to handle.

    ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC
    Just received this kiddy today. I was reading all the reviews on it. Seems everybody love’s them. Except maybe one reviewer who said the button won’t move all you need to do is press the trigger for a fraction of a second then it goes in any position you wish. I’ve not had chance to put this to work yet but it seems to work just fine and I registered it for the 3 year warranty as I do with all my makita tools. These makita tools are really very cheap if you already have the batteries. So to everyone out there who is thinking of buying one of these DONT. BUY TWO ITS GREAT CHEERS AMAZON just to let you know this fits into a makpac 1. A little snug but that’s good as it keeps it from moving.

    Tolles Gerä
    Habe mir das Gert zugelegt um Fliesen von den Wnden zu stemmen und um diverse Arbeiten bei einem Hausumbau zu erledigen. (Lcher bohren, Kabelschlitze stemmen ect.) Aus meiner Sicht ist das Gert dafr super geeignet weil es nicht schwer und gut zu hndeln ist. Voraussetzung fr ein gutes Arbeiten ist natrlich ein Akku mit entsprechender Leistung. Nutze hier Akkus von Makita mit 4ah. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

    Gute Ergänzung zum Akku Schraube
    Falls man Makita mag & schon einen 18V Schrauber besitzt, wohl die perfekte Ergnzung.
    (Bis 6mm in Ziegel sind Schlagbohrschrauber ganz O.K.. Nervenschonender sind 2 Gerte.
    Ein Schrauber & ein SDS Bohrhammer – welcher solide in Stein bohrt & auch noch Meielt.)
    Einen Punkt Abzug wegen fehlender Drehzahlregelung. Sei es als Quirl oder zum Stemmen.

    An excellent tool with a thousand uses
    A great high-quality tool that hits the sweet spot between power and portability. It’s easy to carry and use, and it’s high effective both as a masonry drill (puts 8 x 1 inch holes in concrete easily) and as a small demolition hammer (breaks up asphalt, splits rocks, digs out old mortar and compacted gravel).

    It’s so easy to use and easy on the hands that my 10-year old daughter was ablle to use it to dig a small trench in old asphalt!

    There are a few reviews saying that the selector is stuck or that there is no safety. You use the drill direction switch as a safety — middle position is safe. And the selector requires that you quickly squeeze the trigger when you move the selector past the middle position, just like the manual says.

    Great tool that restores my faith in Makita.

    igger very sensitive
    got some punch to it . my only concern is the trigger is so sensitive that you really got to be so careful when drilling products you dont want to smash to bits.
    i will have to get another that has variable speed on the trigger like my older makita.

    The right tool for the job!! I was a bit concerned that it was going to be underpowered but no issues drilling through block walls… takes a bit more time than a more powerful corded version but way more convenient. Feels well built.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersExcellent for Accrington brick
    When I decided to start buying modern, lithium battery powered tools I realized that one has to either put up with a collection of incompatible chargers and batteries, or nail one’s colours to the mast of one manufacturer. After a lot of thought and reading around, I opted for Makita. This is my fourth Makita power tool and, so far, I think I’ve made a sound choice.

    My property is made of good, hard Accrington brick and I have used up dozens of masonary bits and several power drills on it, over the years. Until now, fixing anything to the walls has been something of a nightmare. I wish I’d had one of these years ago. It sneers at stone and drills into brick as if it were plywood. I am delighted with it.

    Lovely piece of kit.
    Great drill, bought as a bare unit as I already have several other Makita tools. This drill is capable of drilling holes for pipework etc with ease, it gives a lot more flexibility than a corded one. If you intend to use the hammer function a lot be warned, it eats batteries. Overall an excellent bit of kit.

    The selector does stick a bit, but if you read the manual, it tells you run the drill for a second and it moves easily.

    Handy Tool...
    Mainly to drill holes in walls when there is no electricity to use my other old 240V SDS drill – Performs fine, does what I need it to do – I expect, with only my occasional use it should see me well for years to come. Obviously, with no trailing cable to worry about and extension cables etc you can be good to go very quickly with this tool – any self-respecting handyman at least, should have one of these. It’s not cost big money, but it is a big help.

    This Sds 242 model is a must for any tradesman, this beast chases brick, stone, concrete or anything you put in front of it, it comfortably drills walls using 20mm bit, anything under this size eg a 7mm, will go through any material like a knife through butter. it is by far the best and most useful Sds I have owned, Im a plumber who has been abusing this nearly every other day for 3 years and it still feels like a new drill.
    TOP Tip don’t forget to grease Sds bits now and then to keep it running smooth
    Don’t think about buying it just buy it, you won’t regret i
