It offers three operating modes: hammer drilling, drilling only, and chiselling, making it suitable for drilling holes in concrete, brick, and stone, as well as demolition work.

The tool is equipped with an anti-vibration system, safety clutch, and LED light, enhancing user comfort and safety. Users appreciate its power, noting it easily drills through concrete, and its ergonomic design, which reduces fatigue during prolonged use. However, some find the additional handle's position adjustment inconvenient and express concerns about the build quality of the case.

Pros

Cons

Great machine for the job!
13 February 2013 
An excellent hammer drill. I don’t know if it’s suitable for professional use somewhere on a construction site, but for home use it’s just right. I do repairs and I can’t do without such a device. I took it on a friend’s tip, for which I am very grateful to him!
Power! No problems with any concrete. So far I have not been able to find anything that would be too tough for this hammer drill. I don’t drill, I just hold it and set the direction, the hammer drill does the rest. It’s very comfortable to hold in your hands, although it’s quite heavy and you can’t use it with one hand. However, your hands do not get tired during long-term work. The power cord is long and strong. The presence of the backlight made me laugh at first, but as it turned out, it was very convenient.
Changing the position of the additional handle is inconvenient. In addition, it has only a few fixed positions. However, this does not affect the quality or convenience of work. But what I really didn't like was the build quality of the case. I don’t know how it really is, but sometimes it seems to me that it is about to fall apart on the road. I’m glad that I don’t have to carry a hammer drill with me a lot and often; it almost always lies in the trunk. But I can’t help but note that the dimensions of the case are quite impressive; in addition to the tool itself, you can put in a bunch of other things.

Japanese station wagon

The Makita HR2811FT three-mode rotary hammer is a versatile tool for construction and renovation. With it, you can drill holes in concrete, brick and stone walls, drill sockets with a diameter of up to 80 mm, and also make strobes, remove plaster and cement layers or demolish partitions. Although this model is not a leader either in terms of power (800 W) or in terms of impact force (2.9 J), it easily handles with tasks similar to those listed above, while providing good performance. The rotary hammer can also be used as a mixer drill for mixing grout or tile adhesive.

Compact, convenient and even with a flashlight

The rotary hammer is perfectly adapted for work in close and narrow rooms. Due to the vertical arrangement of the engine, it has compact dimensions (345 mm in length) and convenient weight distribution. For drilling and chasing in the dark, there is an LED backlight.

The manufacturer took good care of the users by equipping the tool with useful components and systems. Between the gearbox and the motor there is a torque limiter (safety clutch), which prevents jerks when the drill is jammed. A good anti-vibration system reduces shock loads to the hands and wrists to a minimum, neutralizing the harmful effects of vibrations.

The smart choice for the installer

The Makita HR2811FT is a great rotary hammer for the generalist builder (like a fitter, electrical installer, or air conditioner installer). The tool comes with two chucks at once: a regular quick-clamping chuck (for drills with cylindrical shanks) and an “impact” chuck for SDS + equipment. The quick change cartridge mechanism allows you to switch from one type of work to another almost instantly.
