 "great portable rotary hammer" 2009-02-15
By StevieQ (Castro Valley, CA United States)
My review is actually for the D-handle model of the otherwise identical tool.



This Makita LXT 18v Li-on D-handle rotary hammer has 1.9 joules (or 1.4 ft*lb) of impact energy at up to 4000 blows per minute. By comparison, Makita's corded version has 2.7 joules (or 2.0 ft*lb) of impact energy at up to 4500 blows per minute, making the cordless version about 70% as powerful as the corded version, which isn't bad. I can't complain because the trade-off for portability is power and speed.



I bought this cordless rotary hammer specifically to drill 5/8" holes in concrete to set anchor bolts for my deck's footings. I can drill each 5/8" hole up to 6" deep in a minute or two, but it drains the battery at a fairly quick clip. My rough recollection is that it can only drill at most 2 of the 6"-deep, 5/8" diameter holes before the battery needs recharging. Based on my experience with the 5/8" holes, I have no doubt it is capable of drilling up to 7/8" holes.



I also used a 1" chisel bit on it and it worked really fast to chip concrete to set the footings. All in all, I am happy with this purchase despite the short battery life.

 "Comparison and FAQ..." 2010-05-18
By Y. R. Wu (Ann Arbor, Michigan)
I've used three different cordless mowers and based on that experience I have to say I'm skeptical that 24 volts will work well with a 21" blade. I Have the 20" Toro with 36 volts which works very well and a 19"/24V B&D, which I found to be adequate 80% of the time - with only 24V it struggled with tall grass. The Greenworks 24v/18" self propelled mower may be a better bet.





I've put a quick guide of the most popular models on Amazon. All info reported by manufacturer. Amazon won't let me put prices in my review, sorry!

>>Why SHOULD I get a cordless electric mower? They are super quiet, clean, and convenient. No fumes or exhaust- because gas mowers don't have catalytic converters, they can pollute as much in a year as 43 cars!!!!. They aren't necessarily cheaper than a gas mower since they cost more up front but there is basically NO maintenance. (We spent $80 over 10 years for a set of replacement batteries.) Corded electric mowers are a cheaper but having a cord is a pain.



>>Why SHOULDN'T I get a cordless mower? They weigh a LOT more than gas mowers so if you have a hilly lot or have difficulty with physical exertion, forget it. They don't have as much power as gas and re-fueling means charging for a few hours so if your lot is over ½ acre you may want to reconsider.



>>Why do they all come with mulching PLUS bagging? Electric powered mowers have come a long ways but mulching still takes a LOT more power than discharging, so bagging is pretty much a standard feature.



>>What is a watt-hour? It's basically how big your gas tank is - the more watt-hours, the longer you can mow before you have to recharge.



>>Is the cutting path a big deal? Yes - for two reasons. 1) The first thing manufacturers do when power is marginal is reduce the blade size, so I tend to see the smaller mowers as more likely to be underpowered. Second, when you consider that you have to overlap each pass by ~3", a 20" blade now effectively cuts 13% more on each pass. If you have a larger yard, you definitely do NOT want anything under 18" Also, my measurements show most mowers overstate their blade size by 1/2" (Our 20" measures 19-5/8, our 19 measures 18-1/2)



>>Why might I want a removable battery? If you have a large yard, this means you can have a second battery charging while you are using the first. A second battery typically costs $100-$150 but it can make the difference between going electric or not. Finally, if you keep the mower in a shed that doesn't have power, a removable battery will let you bring it in for charging.



>>How long will my batteries last? That depends on your climate and usage. We had a small lot for many years and were religious about recharging right after use. We also live in a cooler climate (Michigan) so it's cooler and the mowing season is shorter. Our batteries lasted ~7 years. Most people should get 3-4 years easily but if you're careless and live in Arizona, you might be able to kill the batteries in a year or two.



>>Why should I care about higher voltage? Higher voltage = more power, PLUS you can recharge the mower faster. With the same chemistry and current, a 36V mower will charge 50% faster than a 24V mower.



>>Metal deck or plastic? Metal rusts but with minimal care it's not an issue. Plastic ends up giving you a more stuff to trim since you can't cut as close to fences, etc.

 "Great Mower; Bad Accessory Availability/Support" 2010-05-12
By Greg Moreau (Vermont)
First, I love this mower. It powers through some very tough Vermont grass and steep grades. I have about two acres, and it does an excellent job. The problem is the battery aspect. They last about 45 minutes, give or take, depending on how much the wheels are engaged. I'm fine with that, I need more juice, so I bought a spare "two battery pack." The problem is the lead time required for charging. It's 12 hours. And unless you have a few chargers, and a few battery packs, you'll have to wait for the charge. This leads me to my biggest complaint: The "rapid chargers," which take a few hours to charge the battery packs, are never available. I asked for the company last year and the company told me that they were sold out for the season. Okay, fair enough. So, I contacted the company again--today, in mid-spring--and was told that the rapid chargers were sold out "for the season." Apparently all the lawn care/landscaping companies have snatched them up (again). The thing is, there's a clear demand for these chargers unlike, say, the "solar" charging stations, which take literally *days* to charge up your batteries. If, in May, their manufactured quantity has been sold out basically for the year, shouldn't that tell you that they need to stock up and manufacture more? I have no idea why this is the case, but it's annoying, and speaks of bad logistical management. I would have given the mower 5 stars had it not been for this pretty egregious failing on the company's "part"...

 "Great mower." 2010-05-09
By Coach Larry (Ohio, USA)
I have had this mower for about a month now. It is the model that is self-propelled.



First impressions: The mower is a little light-duty compared to my conventional Toro. The deck height adjusters, wheels, bagger and controls all seem a little cheap. Time will tell if they will hold up.



I have to say it was great not having to pull the rope to get the thing started. Just press a button. Pretty cool. It is about half as loud as my 6HP Toro.



Battery installation was very simple. I purchased a spare pair of batteries.



Two main things I was worried about was cutting power, and duration of the battery charge. It is Spring in Ohio, and you have to cut the yard every 5 days or so with all of the rain, etc. The grass grows fast and thick. This mower has been keeping up just fine. My lot is .26 acres. I use the self-propelled feature the entire time. It is pretty heavy to be pushing. It has enough "umph" to cut through the thick grass. I get about 75% done with the yard, then I change out the batteries. It is easier and cleaner to change out the batteries than it is to refill a gas tank. And no smell. The first time I cut the yard and came into the house, the wife said "hey, you don't smell like gasoline".



I have not used the bagger yet. I just mulch. It does leave a little bit of clippings behind, nothing major. I am sure in a month I will not see any clippings left behind at all (once the rain stops and the grass stops growing so darn fast).



So, in summary, the good definitely outweighs the bad.

-If you have a lot approaching .25 acres, and plan to use the self-propulsion, you will need a spare set of batteries.

-Mower hoses off easily

-Very quiet compared to gas engine

-No smell

-Very little vibration

-Cannot adjust the walk-behind pace. I am 6' tall, and the pace is just a little slow for me. But not bad.



I would highly recommend looking into this mower if you are replacing a gas engine mower. Very little maintenance, quiet, little vibration. Good stuff.

By jorge (waynesboro, VA)
Thanks to all previous reviewers, who convinced me to give this great mower a try. Bought mine and couldn't be more pleased with it. No gas, no cables, not much noise at all, self-propelled is a must though. Power is excellent, I have cut through high and wet grass. I did need to purchase an extra set of batteries for my lawn size. If your lawn is small, you may want to start with one set and see if you need another later on. Batteries take close to 24 hours to recharge. I absolutely recommend it for cleanliness, environmental impact and low noise.

This Makita rotary hammer is so powerful it can keep up corded models in its class! It drills twice as fast as its predecessors because it synchronizes the rotation and hammering actions for more efficient drilling. This tool has a built-in clutch that limits excess torque, protecting the motor, in the event it hits rebar while drilling through concrete. It has a brake that conveniently stops the rotation of the chuck when youve stopped drilling. This light-weight tool is only 7.1 pounds, 16-1/8 inches long and comes with a 2-finger trigger, which provides comfort when drilling for long periods. It has three modes: rotary hammer drill, drill only (for drilling through wood or steel or for driving fasteners with an accessory chuck) and hammer only (for light, light-duty chipping). This rotary hammer is a 7/8-inch drill, which means the maximum hole it can comfortably drill is 7/8 inches in diameter. It drills faster at smaller diameters. This Makita tool delivers a whopping 1.9 Joules of impact energy. It has a SDS-plus chuck, which means it accepts SDS-plus drill bits, not SDS-Max bits. SDS-plus bits and chisels have a specialized groove pattern on the chuck end of the bit to prevent slippage of the bit in the chuck. SDS-Max bits and chisels have a different groove pattern and are only used on more powerful corded rotary hammers and chipping hammers. An accessory chuck is available that inserts into the SDS-plus chuck, allowing usage of standard round-shank masonry drill bits. (Bare Tool Only - No Battery And No Charger)

 "Amazing power for a cordless." 2010-04-15
By S. Wysong
After foolishly trying to drill 3/4" holes in concrete with the LXT Hammer Driver/Drill, I ended up with a 1" deep mess.



I got the BHR240 and the difference is amazing. With very little effort I had two 5" deep 3/4" dia holes in less time than it took to drill the 1" deep mess from earlier. The holes are amazingly smooth and the drill is easy to contol. I'm pretty sure my 7 year old could do it. As others mentioned, the power to do this to concrete has to come from somewhere. My 4 year old 18v LXT batteries start to fade after two holes (3/4" x 10" total). So, if you were doing this all day you would need 2 chargers and 3-4 batteries. Alternatively, I believe Bosch has a 36v model. Me, I am already invested in LXT tools and have been happy with every one, including this one.

 "Almost as good as a Bulldog" 2009-06-14
By Josh
I've been using a Bosch Bulldog for about 7 years. I got the Makita BHR240 as a mail in rebate from Makita for buying their LXT702 kit from Amazon. It's almost every bit as powerful as the corded Bulldog, and works great for smaller size holes. Combine this tool with a Makita impact driver, and you've got an ideal cordless solution to driving Tapcon fasteners into concrete and masonry. The part of the tool that accepts the battery is mounted on rubber to insulate the battery from vibration, and feels a little bit too loose. The battery still can vibrate against the tool itself. I think Makita could have put a little more work into their battery mount on this tool to better isolate the vibration. Otherwise, i'm very happy with my free tool!

By Custom Finish Carpenter (So. Cal., USA)
I have used this rotary hammer drill for up to 3/4" holes in concrete and tile and it is nothing short of awesome. I also own the Bosch Bulldog, which is the industry standard in small rotary hammer drills, and this cordless Makita performs right up there with it, making short work of whatever I put it up against. While the Bosch is a great hammer drill as well, the portability of the 18 volt Li-Ion Makita really makes this drill shine, highly recommended for anyone who requires a portable rotary hammer with enough power to do the job.
