Makita DHR264 36v (2x18v) Combination Hammer Drill Tests 

My first video of this drill showing the features, specs, etc can be found here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xHHH_7wplMg.html

Your reviews are top banana man. Love all the Makita reviews

Nice Video. I appreciate you testing with the hole saw, I read the statement about no hole saws and the torque limiter in the manual and was discouraged. 70mm is about 2.75 inches correct? As a Pipefitter we have to hole saw through similar materials, not usually 2x4's but sheet rock, thin metal etc.. Here in the U.S. this is model XRH05Z. Unfortunately we don't get the quick change chuck version here but there are several SDS to 1/2" chuck adapters available. I see there is a new combo kit available that includes the SDS drill, impact driver, three 4 amp hour batteries with fuel gauges, dual charger and contractor bag for $579. (M# XT258PMB)

I bought one of these today from a guy for £80 bargain but no batteries or charger.... got to test it with his batteries, this thing is a beast!!!!!! i heard that the single 18v battery versions use up too much power, battery doesn't last.

Great vid, ordered this drill today!

Very very good

hey mate be amazing if you could do a showdown between DHR242Z, DHR280ZJ the new 36v brushless and even the old 36v DHR264 in your video. on friday i got my hands on the DHR242Z with a sds normal drill chuck attachment and the boys at work where using it to drill 16mm holes through 270mm piles and it was terrible....got out my DHP481 and its performance was excellent, would be interesting seeing the DHR280ZJ go against the DDF481 in timber, as i see the DHR280ZJ has 3 speed settings be interesting how she goes with timber.

Thanks for these videos also been watching your more recent 40v battery video and it’s made me wonder if should opt for the dhr281 rather than the 40v hr004gz if this save having to buy different batteries and also that you mentioned discharge rate appears to be better from the cells in 18v batteries. Also would have more option of higher amp sizes with the 18v.

would this tool be good for mixing if attached a whisk to it??? i.e like mixing up plaster or sand + cement ??

It's like what I always say, safety second. Thongs first.

Good to know that the hammer function is good only for cutting butter..

nice safety boots :)

How much better is this than the 1 battery rotary hammer? Is it worth upgrading?

The holesaw looks like its not designed to clear the sawdust so its bound to overheat and jam.

Great review thanks

Where you get them safety boots from pal thay look strong 😂

Nice safety shoes , very soft concrete though

Ohh it has a chipper too!? convenient! so, I'll bet don't need two tools of chipper and hammer drill.

Nice flip flops..!

You buy a hammer drill for concrete, or brick... I mean that's probably just me...

Totally used your foot to break it lol

Safety crocs

Hole saws aren’t for rotary hammers. You wouldn’t use a Hole Hawg for drilling masonry, either.
