SDS+ Hammer drill - Makita/Bosch?

Samueltastic · 9 Sep 2010 at 19:58

Another vote for Makita, had a bosh one and it broke within a week.

Both brands offer very high quality tools.

personally I used to use makitas a lot and they were great, however the people who are making out makita is a lot better than bosch are wrong. Ive used bosch a number of times too and they have been great quality and people in the trade vouch for them greatly

Hey,

In my opinion, Makita hammer drill is best, you can check this.

Did you really sign up to this forum so that you could resurrect a thread which is over SEVEN YEARS OLD to recommend someone a hammer drill that they probably already bought 7 years ago?

The OP hasn't even visited this forum in over three years...

He has a point though. Makita is a pretty good bet.

And i do wonder where he came from too???

Probably works for the company.

Just linking to a review that has no date on it, which makes assessing its relevance quite hard.

If you care about brand you'd be looking at Hilti or Milwaukee. Makita and Dewalt are fine and do well enough for professional regular use but they're nothing special.

As it's for irregular home use and not cordless, just buy the cheapest SDS you can find and forget brand.

EDIT:
Oh, it's a necro.
