Which cordless Makita SDS?

[Koogatubac]

I have the 18v sds makita. It drains the batterys 3.0 like no tomorrow. Biggest hole ive drilled in brick has been 30mm lol thought my baby was going to die.

Work now on stone buildings so only can do 7mm holes now since its not really build for stone, just brick.

Best gear now is HILTI - but by heck its expensive!!!
Only makita i use on stone is the wet/dry core drill that was expensive

About a year ago I got all new Milwaukee 18v tools and I must say there the best 18v tools I've had and I had makita in the past.

hilti is good investment and it gets the job done with a lot less vibrations

Did you get one?

 

[Phil]

Yes I got the one in the 2nd pic, waiting for delivery though. 🙁

 

[Scott_D]

I would be interested to know what you think of it.

 

[Phil]

I'll report back, as I said though as long as I can drill 7mm holes in stone outside without messing with extension leads I'll be happy.

My Makita BHP451RFE does that no bother. Any of those will breeze it.

 

[Koogatubac]

Mine too howsie

Mine also, though it doesn't stop me wanting one as well, I've nearly convinces myself that I need one!

 

[Koogatubac]

I need to stop buying tools and buy a house lol

 

[Phil]

I do have a 451 but don't always keep it in the van as case its nicked, I just use a 452. The SDS will go under the seat in place of the 240V Bosch.

Very happy with Makita cordless SDS, so much easier when working outside.
