The drill head of the Makita HP1631K makes around 3200 revolutions per minute without load. This is more than enough to get through wooden and metal surfaces. The variable electronic speed control allows you to do so with control and accuracy. Aside from the rotating movement, it also makes a maximum of 48,000 strokes per minute. This easily gets you through even the hardest types of stone. Even with long-term intensive use, the HP1631K lasts a long time, thanks to the aluminum gear housing and cylindrical construction. In addition, it's provided with a soft grip handle. This makes the machine easy to handle and also reduces the noise that it produces. You transport it and store it neatly in the case included by default.

I had it about half an hour before returning it. Chuck let go of the bit half way through one hole in a masonry block. My old not hammer drill held the bit fine and was about as good for drilling in masonry. I won't be buying Makita products without checking the reviews in future as they don't seem to be a premium brand anymore. It's a pity as I was a big fan. This chuck issue comes up a lot in the reviews.

Should have bought this brilliant piece of kit years ago. Powerful, lightweight, used for drilling through timber battens into concrete like render to fasten for cladding. Removal of render with broad chisel, removal of bricks on gable end, removal of plasterboard and the very tough board adhesive. Replaces 30 yr old Hitachi hammer drill which has been good but Makita has variable start etc DEFINITELY RECOMMEND

Just needed a good all round drill as an occasional DIYer. My last one gave up in the middle of a job. Looked at reviews and this seemed a good choice. Checked in stock and local screwfix and no problem. Drill does what I need and a few extra features, ie drill depth gauge and reverse. So far only used with the hammer effect on masonry but no problem. Wanted drill with a chuck as all my drill bits are the round type and not the quick fit so this is fine.

This is an excellent product that far exceeds my needs. It is well made and has a very nice grip. However, it is an SDS drill which means that it won't take conventional prong drill bits. The SDS chuck is not removable. I had to spend an extra 20.00 on getting a Makita drill bit adapter which slots into the SDS chuck. On hindsight it would be better to buy the Makita with the removable chuck with both SDS and slot drill chucks included. That particular model exceeded my budget! All things said I am still very happy with the drill. It's good for heavy duty drilling into bricks and masonary. I now have to invest an some SDS drill bits!
The chuck gave me endless grief. It has to be tight but then it would not release. Plastic outer shell broke when trying to release it in a vice. Very poor flimsy plastic chuck design. Resolved the problem by replacing the chuck with an all metal chuck that requires a key which is readily available from Makita as a spare part. Since replacing the chuck this has been a fabulous drill. It has far more power and torque than any battery drill. I have used it frequently for hammering 3/4 inch and 1 inch holes in concrete. Rating with original chuck is 1 star, rating with replacement keyed chuck is 5 star.
My last mains powered hammer drill was a Black and Decker, a gift from my dad in about 1988. It worked just fine but my new Makita hammer drill is in a different league. The ease with which it drills through dense brick is a joy. The feel of the machine is very comfortable and the cable is long enough to negate the need for an extension cable for most jobs. The cable is also of a really good quality, not plasticy but more rubbery and very flexible. My old drills will not fit the new drill but I needed to replace them anyway so this is not a complaint. The new chuck is great and dose not need a chuck key which is a great improvement. The case is not as solid as I would have liked and a case with cubby holes for screws and plugs would be a good feature.

I've been using this mainly to drive 80mm self tapping roofing screws through metal roof panels. So far so good! It has done the job really well, and driven just over a hundred of them. The reverse function has been really useful too, when the screws need to come out again. It is quite heavy for one handed use compared to some of the smaller drills, but it's almost twice the power without being twice the size of my recently expired 400W Black and Decker. I prefer the keyed chuck. Not as quick to change bits, but less chance of slipping and damaging your drills. One of my other drills is the keyless type, and annoyingly it never grabs until you've rotated your hand past the comfortable position for tightening. I would recommend this tool, but if your wrists are weak, ... MoreI've been using this mainly to drive 80mm self tapping roofing screws through metal roof panels. So far so good!

One of my other drills is the keyless type, and annoyingly it never grabs until you've rotated your hand past the comfortable position for tightening. I would recommend this tool, but if your wrists are weak, and you are only drilling occasionally for small jobs, it may be slightly heavy and unnecessarily powerful. The build quality appears sturdy and robust, and I expect it to last for a long time, but for any really heavy jobs I will be reaching for one of my bigger drills. My only criticism is the slow start button being too sensitive. This is probably just a case of practise makes perfect, but getting it to run slow takes a very delicate touch. I will also be taping the chuck key to the cable, as I keep forgetting to put it back in the holder. All in all a very good, powerful, well made, compact machine and a positive addition to the workshop.
Really disappointed with this drill after one afternoon of use drilling into concrete.The keyless chuck just wouldn't grip larger diameter drills tight enough. I had to stop & retighten it constantly. It did grip smaller bits (10mm & smaller) well.Perversely, getting the chuck to release when I wanted to change bits was even worse. The texture on the chuck is inadequate to grip properly. The rear section is too narrow to grip with any pressure.I had particular problems with my 9mm bit jamming in the chuck even after the chuck had been released. May having been passing into a tight fit within the chuck and jamming tight under the hammer action. The bit was unused before I started.During use the front of the drill became too hot to touch, especially the black ... MoreReally disappointed with this drill after one afternoon of use drilling into concrete.The keyless chuck just wouldn't grip larger diameter drills tight enough.

May having been passing into a tight fit within the chuck and jamming tight under the hammer action. The bit was unused before I started.During use the front of the drill became too hot to touch, especially the black section immediately behind the chuck. This made my problems with the chuck intolerable, I had to leave the drill to cool for 10 minutes just to change the bit.One minor irritation by comparison: The direction selector is too close to the trigger and to easy to switch unintentionally.Lesson: Buy a drill with a keyed chuck if you're drilling into concrete with a large bit.
Had it now for three years and used it only a handful of times. Now the chuck is blocked and cannot be adjusted anymore. Had to buy a new one, but it is impossible to get the old chuck off the machine. That means I have to buy a new one now. Even though it is a rather affordable product with overall perhaps 10 holes in three years, even the affordable price for the drill becomes pretty expensive per hole. Was my first Makita product and will be my last.
Bought this to chase out channels for electrical conduit, and also create a rebate in brickwork for 15mm pipes. Previous chisel drill, economy maker, had failed during use, but this Makita powered through the jobs no problem. I have a much heavier chisel drill but not so manoeuvrable, so needed a middle-weight drill. Bought it because a friend has the same drill, which I have used, and his drill has worked very hard for a long time, so also giving 5* reliability. Good purchase! (and excellent, prompt service from Erin at Bognor Regis, thank you).
