Makita M0801B 500W Corded Hammer Drill is a two-mode drill that switches between plain rotary drilling and hammering with rotation, covering wood and metal work plus holes up to 16 mm in concrete. For most electricians, plumbers, and general maintenance teams, this is the one drill that handles the majority of a working day.

The 500 W motor drives up to 3,200 RPM and 48,000 blows per minute. The high blow rate is what lets a percussion drill make progress in masonry — each rotation is accompanied by hundreds of small hammer strikes that fracture the material ahead of the bit. A variable speed control dial lets you preset a maximum speed for the material rather than modulating the trigger by feel all day.

A 360° swivel side handle is included and worth using every time. If a bit binds in aggregate or rebar, a drill this powerful twists hard, and the side handle is what keeps the tool under control rather than spinning out of your grip.

Technical Specifications

Usage and Safety Guidelines

Recommended Applications

1) Is the "16mm" the chuck size?

No — and this is the most common confusion on percussion drills. 16 mm is the maximum concrete drilling capacity. The chuck is 13 mm, which is also the maximum steel capacity. Wood capacity is 20 mm.

2) What is the difference between this and a rotary hammer?

A percussion drill like this vibrates the chuck rapidly — effective for brick, block, and light concrete. A rotary hammer such as the M8700B uses a piston mechanism delivering far higher energy per blow, which is what you need for reinforced concrete or repetitive anchor drilling all day.

3) Can I use it as a normal drill for wood and metal?

Yes — switch to "rotation only" mode and it works as a standard 500 W drill, up to 13 mm in steel and 20 mm in wood.

4) What bits do I need for concrete?

Use masonry bits with a carbide tip, in a round shank that fits the 13 mm keyed chuck. Standard HSS metal bits will be ruined immediately by hammer action.

5) Is it powerful enough for daily site use?

For an electrician or plumber drilling anchor holes through the day, yes. If you're drilling large-diameter or deep holes in reinforced concrete continuously, a rotary hammer will be faster and will last longer doing it.
