I was looking for a solid hammer and was unfortunately very disappointed by this model. So far, Makita was for me as a very solid and reliable. I now need to return two machines within a few uses, because after a brief use of the drill head (spindle) is simply canceled. Then you can also see why, the metal is at the point broken only very thin and very fine (barely visible to the naked eye). Can only be a material / construction errors. The chisel function, becoming the real machine-killer! I can only advise, stay away from this model and hope for future models Makita pays back more on quality! This should expect quiet of a machine in this price range.
Thank you to this point again to the first-class service from Amazon! The replacement came in no time. Unfortunately, this was indeed defective even after short use. I have now requested a credit to be able to order me another machine. This time, unfortunately, probably not Makita ...
