seems like a versatile all in one tool.. check out some of the youtube videos...
but would like to have the corded version of it

There is a feature/function called 'No Hammering When Idling", which make less vibrations and make the hammering mechanism long lasting. The hammering will starts when to push the drill bits to the target. Even you start hammering, the vibration of the rotary hammer is still low and comfortable.
I use my makita till now white color, need to take blower to clean it. Use too many time. Another good investment is variable speed grinder. Diamond cutter + rotary make conceal cabling so easy.
After makita, I brought variable speed grinder, and dig back my old sander, Bosch spray gun. Got myself a set of polisher for marble / cement / granit.
if they can find a way to make it work quieter it would be awesome
Aaa.. you felt the same, that,we are not going back for the impact drill. 12mm ? It is still a small hole, compared to the H2470's full potential, handling up to 24mm masonry drill bits. In my case, most of the time, I only use 1/2 of the my rotary hammer for more controllable drilling jobs. At full power I need to add more pushing force to keep the rotary hammer from 'bouncing'.
well if the bit's pricing seems to go up exponentially with the increase in size.. not sure how much would a 24mm bit cost
if you use 24mm often, get the Zentro or 4 cutters type bits, for durability and better drilling performance.
yeah heard about those bits with 4 cutters on the head... the bosch one cost a BOMB...
just curious.. does jalan pasar sell this kind of hardware stuff ? , can't seem to find a proper place that has a well stocked inventory of diy stuff...

I just published another youtube clip demonstrating the rotary hammer's power. Yes, it is possible to drill into wood, but, the hole is not as clean as when drilled using proper wood bit. :
Impact Driver : Makita TD-010F 100Nm torque; 230 W
230 W vs 800 W of the HR2810 rotary hammer... But, wood is quite a touch material to drill . Compared to my previous clip, rotary hammer + 12 mm masonry bit can drill into concrete block in 4 seconds... but it took longer with wood. Thank you.
Note: A new addition to my DIY tools.... the Black and Decker's Workmate 225, workbench... and.... Makita GA4030 grinder..
lol , your rotary drill on hammer+drill mode... sounds like a scooter.. hahah
just curious your using the normal sds bits for concrete ? to drill wood ?
care to share pic of your 1. Black and Decker's Workmate 225, workbench... 2. Makita GA4030 grinder..

Added on December 6, 2011, 9:13 am 2470, Hehe, I just hack a 3" x 3" holes, drill some holes on the concrete floor. Tear down 1/2 my kitchen concrete top. So you think can do or not?
hi guys ordered bosch dre 2-26 for rm580. what do you guys think about this price? makita 2470 is rm520 but the shop tell me that bosch is alot better performance and more service center and makita need to send back to kl to service so it will take longer time if any problems.
how small of a town are u from ?
usually those machinary shop(cinapek style) will repair any brand of power tools.. one
just that the time frame will be different... depending on "commonality" of your tools and if they got stock up parts or not
for me at least i believe that makita and bosch that model/range is similar if not same in quality...
just different is paying extra for the brand only... unless when u bought your dre2-26, u manage to get those 6+6 years warranty thinggy
I am from jb. this shop carries wide range of makita, bosch and hitachi/hilti tools. not sure if the shop have 6+6month warranty. kinda funny, the shop do have instock for makita drill yet reckomen to get bosch drill.
Problem with the extended chuck with normal bit will wobble. I was searching for wood / steel sds bits but to my surprise I did not find one. Now got to have 2 drill loh, my old drill and the makita drill.
yeah that is true.. thats why some models come with the quick change chuck thingy that fits/replaces the sds chuck
