We take a look at the Makita XPH07 1/2 in hammer drill driver.
Was previously their Flag ship heavy duty drill was recently replaced with their xph14.
Still a great drill. This one has a small issue where the spindle is a bit loose when tightening the ratcheting chuck. It is a fast, powerful, heavy duty hammer drill. One thing to note here is the hammer drilling performance is a good bit above others or the average hammer drill (rotary not included).
Currently this drill takes first place (at the time of this video posting) as the best performing drill on the market.
