Amazing deal
Works just like the Bosch Bulldog I use to have. Lightweight, yet gets the job done quickly. The case is just OK, but the value of this kit cannot be disputed. Highly recommended.

Great Rotary Hammer for the Price!
It works like a champ! I don't plan on continous, heavy use but the rotary hammer works much better than I expected. I've drilled several 1/2" anchor holes into a concrete slab and so far it's worked flawlessly. The free side grinder (Amazon.com) was a nice bonus too.

Can't Beat It
I bought this kit about two years ago on sale for around $125. I have used the grinder only a few times, but it seems like it's as sturdy and well-built as a Makita should be. I've used the rotary hammer a few dozen times, mainly for setting Tap-Cons, and it runs through poured concrete so fast it's comical. I've also drilled some 5/8" and 3/4" holes through poured concrete and brick/mortar. It's got plenty of power to get the job done with the larger bits, too.

Great drill
I have drilled holes in concrete and it has more power than I will ever need. It is a pro grade drill but for the price ($129 Amazon sale) I couldn't resist.

A great drill
This is one of the best medium grade hammer drills I have used.. not only is it rugged enough for some of the bigger jobs but, it's light enough you can use it all day. A great hammer drill

Awesome
I bought this to drill (30) 1/2 inch holes 5 inches deep in concrete. I started off with a regular drill with a masonary bit just wasnt cutting it so I then went to a bosch masonary hammer drill bit with my ridgid 18V hammer drill, that was better about 10 - 15 minutes a hole, but then I was like let me try this. Wow this thing went through the concrete like I was drilling wood. 10 - 20 seconds a hole. I couldnt believe it. This is worth every penny if you are drilling more than a few holes.
