I have had it for a year (the Makita hr2631ft12) and I use it exclusively as a chisel from mortar to concrete. It requires caution when working with concrete. I read the reviews for the Bosch equivalent, which stated that it is not suitable for concrete as it will burn out. The Bosch model has a power output of 3.7J, while the current Makita has 2.4J. A high-quality machine like this won't burn out easily unless it is defective.
It won't get the job done quickly in concrete. It requires patience and caution to prevent it from overheating. If someone uses it with the trigger fully pressed, giving it the full 2.4J, which is 100% of its power for an hour, it will eventually burn out. However, if it is used with care regarding its temperature and with patience, it gets the job done.
It also requires attention to lubricating the chisel. Regular lubrication with high-quality grease is necessary.
Other than that, it has a very good balance, is comfortable to hold, does not transmit vibrations, has durability, and you appreciate every euro you have spent on it. I think, based on what I have heard from others, that it is one of Makita's most successful models in its category. It has a higher price, but you won't regret it unless your expectations were different, but that's not the machine's fault.
The 2.4J is indeed real. I believe it is a tool that should be in the standard equipment of an amateur or professional.
I have literally torn it apart from the first day, it works until you can't even touch it due to the heat, and at one point, due to a worn-out cable, it started to smell, but it didn't break and it still works. Lately, it has shown signs of wear, sometimes it gets stuck and doesn't deliver a punch, so before it gives up, I bought the same one again. For its price, it is the best, although its durability in full professional use has an expiration date.
It has a flawless selector, impact, rotation with or without impact!!. That means it changes very easily, without the extra release button that other drills have. It shows professional quality tool. I also have the Makita HR2470 and after quite a bit of use, 2 years, I had to change the chuck with a cost of 70 euros. With this specific one, I know that when it breaks, I will easily and quickly replace it with less cost on my own!!.
The case can hold both small and large drill bits. It has a very good latch!!. It can't only hold the 65mm hole saw that I have (unlike the HR2470 case).
It may have anti-vibration (AVT) but it requires gloves, especially when digging. Just like all digging tools.
I have it for about three years. (Electrician)
It is a good drill. Someone can also use it for digging. It doesn't understand anything.
It is lightweight. You can operate it with one hand.
Awesome tool. I've been using the Makita for 2 years now and it hasn't shown any signs of wear. The quick-change chuck in this version is a great advantage for using conventional drill bits.
