Makita HP1640/2 240V 13mm Percussion Drill

Good: solid construction; easy to control drill speed; proper chuck with key; seems a very professional piece of kit; NOT made in authoritarian China. Bad: Ideally it would have been slightly lighter - but you make your compromises

Great drill

Built like a Soviet era tractor with probably the same electronics. Lots of power to drive 16mm masonry drill through brickwork but the speed control was strange. With a little trigger pull it slowed down under load. More pull solved the problem but as soon as it hit a void it went up to max speed in a fraction of a second. This made it unsuitable for using as a screwdriver. On the odd occasion releasing the trigger left the drill rotating very slowly. To sum up it's a solidly built, powerful drill with odd speed control. Returned mine as possibly faulty.

Add on handle and dept stop, variable speed and reverse with 13mm keyed chuck was my requirement. I like Makita and needed a replacement for my battery Makita drill. Amazon has not stocked Makita in the past. Please to see it.

Thanks love makita

I like the proper keyed chuck and the hammer action feature, also it has reverse and variable speed on the trigger.

A good well balanced pistol drill, very powerful.

A great piece of kit. Heavy and sturdy. I am glad it has another side handle. Disappointed at the price point that it only came in a cardboard box not a forever storage box. I will now have to find a suitable box to store it when not in use.

Le he dado más caña en una semana que a mi viejo BlackandDecker en toda su vida útil. El resultado: - Agujerea hormigón como si fuera mantequilla (con brocas Dewalt). - Apenas se calienta. También lo he empleado para atornillar, y es muy cómodo. A mí, particularmente, me gustan más los portabrocas con llave, ya que considero que la fijación es mejor. El único "inconveniente" es la longitud del cable (1.5 m), aunque con una alargadera adecuada, problema solucionado. Los materiales son de primera calidad, incluida la varilla de profundidad, que al contrario que los taladros en este rango de precios, este lo incorpora metálico, y no de plástico endeble. Altamente recomendado. Y ahora, por favor, si esta opinión les ha parecido útil...¡vótenme en manada! :)

Llego bien el producto y funciona de maravilla.

Eine tolle Bohrmaschine für einen Handwerker

Super machine. Parfaite pour faire des trous précis, sans faire de patates dans les agglos .. Filaire, moins pratique mais tellement plus fiable. Avec une boîte de rangement ça aurait été parfait.
