I chose it because it was in the price gap between my cordless hammer drill and a full-throttle demo hammer. There were smaller rotary hammers that were very close in price to my existing tool, and I figured it was stupid to get something so similar to it. For about fifty bucks more, I found a nicer, bigger one which has gotten rave reviews. Then I went to Home Depot and checked out some Bosch models which cost less than the Makita I ordered and which should therefore be smaller. And they were quite huge. In fact, they were not a whole lot smaller than the giant Hitachi demo hammer I rented last year to bust concrete slugs. So now I&#8217;m wondering what kind of monster tool I ordered. I mean, I&#8217;m hoping to use this thing to drill a bunch of 1\/4&#8243; holes this month. That may be like using a shovel to stir a martini.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t care!
