Flipping through one of our favorite Construction Supply magazines yesterday I came across a very interesting Makita advertisement for the new 18VX2 SDS-Plus 1” Rotary Hammer Drill.

In the game of cordless concrete drilling it looks like Makita has taken a big leap forward with a couple of nice improvements on this unit.

But we also made it more compact, …
