Another Makita Winner
By Michael W. OBrien
I recently purchased this Makita HR4010C,1 9/16 11 amp SDS-Max rotary hammer with AVT primarily to help me dig holes for posts and plants in my rocky,clay soil (called chert) in Northeast Alabama.Also wanted to use it for breaking up concrete and mortar to put in a new walkway. I also bought 12 inch and 18 inch bull points(Hitachi) and a Dewalt clay spade (as recommended in other reviews,but not sold on Amazon) and a scaling chisel. I had read good reviews on other sites prior to purchase.This Makita breaks up concrete with the bull point easily, no vibration. I used it again today to help dig several post holes (the first 18 inches of 24) and using the clay spade for the first foot and,then the 18 inch bull point for the deeper work.It worked great, and again no vibration.Now I need a 24 inch bull point.The Dewalt clay spade digs fine too.I have other Makita tools and have never been disappointed in their quality or durability.This HR4010C is worth what I paid for it and I can recommend it without hesitation, because if you want a tool of this type that will do the job and last, it will cost you for sure.I am an average-sized person( 5 ft 10 in,167 lbs),65 years old, and I handled it easily. Be certain to use the provided grease for the hub end of the implements and clean it off after using them . Follow-up/ It's Sept.08 and this tool is still going strong after many projects. It's worth all that I paid for it. No problems. pathdoc60 Follow-up / Feb. 2011 and this tool is still working great. I can't plant bushes or trees without it in my rocky/clay soil. Also have used it for breaking up concrete and bricks which it does with ease using the bullpoint and/or scaling chisel. The clay spade is a must-have for planting. As always, another great Makita tool.

Hammer Time
By Tyman
Busting up concrete and being a plumber go hand in hand. I use a Bosch at work but after banging concrete for hours the noise and vibration get to you. The Makita seems more quiet and I definitely feel less vibration.The D-handle is also very nice and I am addicted to it for detail work like chipping concrete around a pipe. This rotary does a great job.The case is HUGE blow mold plastic. It has room for a few bits but not many. Bits for this girl are not stocked at your local stores. So, running down the depot for a 1" bit isn't going to happen. You either have it or your order it. Or if your a contractor you can get them at a supply house like I did.If your a homeowner I would say this rotary is overkill, unless you are going to use the clay spade attachment for digging. The smallest bit you would want to run is a 3/8".

There's kill, and then there's OVERKILL
By S. Yu
"This kicks arse!"I was torn between getting a smaller hammer and this one. I'm glad I purchased this. Used it in a couple of projects and this thing is powerful, without the kick of a mule.It eats tiles set in concrete. Scaled it off the underlayment like scraping Oreo filling from the cookie. Started the project with a hammer and chisel and it barely dented any of the tiles. Whipped this bad boy and the tiles start flyin' off the concrete.Chips and rips off old concrete like it wasn't there. In the basement, the previous owners put in an illegal bathroom. Wanted to flatten the floor after ripping out the walls. Realized that the tiles were mortared to a 1 1/2" cement substrate that they poured to raise the bathroom floor height. Try whacking that out with a chisel and hammer. This machine just eats it away!Needed to drill through cinder block and brick wall to install a vent. Slapped on a 6" core bit, and before you know it, you can stick a human head in the wall.Safety note! Remember you goggles, dust mask, ear plugs AND gloves. Being a powerful machine just short of a jackhammer, concrete shards and dust fly at ridiculous speeds and can easily make you a one eyed jack. Concrete dust is not healthy either and without a dust mask, it can give your silicosis and make you sound like you have TB. Hammering concrete is not a quiet job either and you can easily have ringing ears without ear plugs. Kills your hearing like a glock fired next to your ear.
