Using a cordless rotary hammer is your ticket to a better, more effective industrial drilling experience. With the big power of hammering action and the convenience of cordless portability, these tools are designed to make a positive, productive difference in your work day. Manufacturing the most intensely awesome rotary hammers, Bosch and Makita keep our chins up with the most high-performace rotary hammering in the industry.
Makita's BHR240 (7/8") SDS-plus rotary hammer is a seriously awesome tool with big enough power to keep you shaking in your boots. Utilizing lithium-ion battery technology and an optimum battery charging system the tool has a vastly extended work-time with twice as many charge cycles. Synchronized BPM and RPM, and three modes of operation (rotation only, hammering with rotation, and hammering only) provide always efficient drilling and excellent versatility. A built-in torque-limiter quickly disengages the chuck should its bit become jammed, and the tool's chisel rotates a complete 360 degrees with 40 different working positions to ensure the greatest working comfort and versatility. Additionally, the hammer weighs just a meager 7.1 lbs for compact, lightweight, and comfortable portability. Ultimately, with an ergonomic and powerful design, reliable longevity, and a price-tag from around $430 - $470, the hammer is a smart investment and a brilliant machine.
Similarly, Bosch's 11536VSR (1") cordless SDS-plus rotary hammer combines power and innovation unlike any other hammer in the industry. Drilling faster than both cordless and corded models, the tool delivers ridiculous productivity, and utilizing Bosch's lightweight and long-lasting litheon battery technology, the tool's big power is perfectly portable. Its pneumatic impact mechanism is the strongest available among cordless models, and with an innovated striker guidance mechanism, striking pin, and overall tool design, the hammer's impact transmission is unfailingly accurate with virtually no loss of energy. The tool's variable speed trigger allows you to remain in charge of each task, and an integral clutch reduces unwanted torque reactions for complete control as you work. With three modes of operation (rotation only, hammering with rotation, and hammering only) and a 36 position locking chisel, the 11536VSR is comfortable operate while still keeping you in charge of each task. Altogether, with the capacity to drill as fast as 7.1" per minute and costing around $645 - $675, the tool is a costly machine, but is worth every penny.

Keep the 18V Makita Li-ion cordless drill?
Hi guys.
I have just bought a new Makita 18V Li-ion cordless impact drill - for an arm and a leg. I decided fork out for something that will last me for years (with sensible battery rotation) for regular trade use. I haven't use it yet.
My local hardware shop is having a Dewalt sale soon, where I could take it back for an 18V 3Ah (NiCd) impact hammer drill.
Is anyone in a position to directly compare the two?
Is there a difference in performance and/or build quality?
There's almost no feedback out there on the new Li-ion Mak's, and certainly no comparisons with other brands, like Dewalt.
Cheers.
Makita has always been considered the cadilac of tools but because of price has seen limited production. The dewalt because of price and durability has been virtually adopted as the tool of choice for the construction industry. i currently own 2 14v cordless Dewalt;s and they have stood up to a 12 foot drop from a roof, installing over 10 lbs of 3" deck screws without a problem. My Makita cordless 18v i got for x-mas still sits in its box. Didnt really care for the fit in my hand for large projects and heavy use.
