Watcha got? PM me or there'll be a feeding frenzy!
I guess in all fairness I shouldn't be comparing a ni-cad drill from 7 years ago to the more modern li-ion jobs out today, but you know how it goes... once burned (again, literally!) I'd have to see some real proof though to believe that any Makita could even be close to being in the same league as a Hilti. Had the same experience with my hammer drill - bought a Makita 1/2" corded hammer drill and the noise and vibration was awful and if I hit aggregate or rebar it would stop dead in its tracks. Moved up to a Hilti TE-1 with proper Hilti SDS bits and threw the Makita in the bin the very next day. That TE-1 will pound through solid rock if it needs to.
