Cordless SDS-Plus Combination Hammer Makita HR010GD201 40 V 2.5 Ah Li-Ion with 2 Batteries and Charger

Makita HR010GD201 is a cordless SDS‑Plus combination hammer designed for drilling, rotary hammering and chiselling in concrete, masonry and other common construction materials. Powered by a 40 V battery platform with 2.5 Ah Li‑Ion cells, this kit includes two batteries and a charger to support continuous work and reduce downtime. The tool combines portability with the functionality expected from a SDS‑Plus rotary hammer, making it suitable for both on‑site renovation tasks and professional jobs where corded power is impractical.

Advantages

The cordless design provides freedom of movement and reduces dependency on mains power, while the inclusion of two 2.5 Ah batteries allows alternating between packs for extended runtime. SDS‑Plus bit compatibility ensures easy accessory changes and wide availability of drill and chisel options. The tool balances impact energy and drilling speed to handle common concrete and masonry operations without excessive weight, and the supplied charger enables quick recharges to keep the spare battery ready.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor and through holes in concrete and masonry
• Light to medium chiselling and removal of plaster or tiles
• Work at construction sites or renovation projects where cordless operation is required
• Tasks that require alternate batteries for continuous operation

When it may not be suitable

This combination hammer is intended for light to medium demolition and drilling tasks. For very heavy demolition, continuous high‑impact concrete breaking, or high‑volume production drilling where maximum impact energy and sustained high power are required, a larger corded rotary hammer or a higher‑capacity battery system may be more appropriate. Also, specialized diamond drilling or large‑diameter core drilling applications exceed the intended use of an SDS‑Plus tool.

Key specifications

• Drive system: SDS‑Plus
• Power source: 40 V Li‑Ion battery platform
• Battery capacity supplied: Two batteries of 2.5 Ah each
• Functions: Rotary hammering, drilling, chiselling
• Tool type: Cordless combination hammer
• Intended materials: Concrete, masonry, brick, and similar substrates

How to use

Install a charged 40 V 2.5 Ah Li‑Ion battery into the tool according to the manufacturer's insertion procedure and select the appropriate mode (drilling, hammer drilling or chiselling). Choose an SDS‑Plus bit suited to the material and required hole size or chiselling profile, then secure it into the chuck. When drilling, start at low speed to position the bit and then increase speed while applying steady forward pressure; allow the tool to do the work without excessive force. For chiselling, use controlled passes and reposition frequently to avoid overheating the bit. Keep the spare battery charged in the supplied charger to swap in when runtime diminishes.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that SDS‑Plus bit sizes and accessories meet your typical job requirements
• Evaluate whether two 2.5 Ah batteries provide sufficient runtime for your projects or if higher capacity batteries are needed
• Check compatibility with your existing Makita 40 V battery platform if you already own Makita tools
• Consider protective equipment for dust and vibration when using the tool on masonry or concrete

Usage recommendations

Use the tool with appropriate SDS‑Plus bits, maintain charged spare battery availability for uninterrupted work, and follow safety guidelines including eye, ear and respiratory protection. For prolonged heavy work, plan battery changes and breaks to avoid overheating and ensure consistent performance.
