Overview
Makita lists the HM0870C at 5.1 kilograms (about 11.2 pounds) with a 24 volt, 10 amp rating, though the power source field on the listing also reads hand powered, a detail worth confirming before buying. It holds a 4.7 star rating from 162 reviews with zero units bought in the past month on this listing.
The weight alone puts this well above a typical compact cordless drill, suggesting a heavier-duty tool built for demanding boring work. Because the listing's power source field conflicts with its stated voltage and amperage, the exact power setup is not something this data can settle on its own. Anyone relying on that detail should check Makita's own specification sheet first.

Who it's for
Fits users who need a heavier, more capable drill for demanding tasks and are comfortable confirming the exact power source separately. Not the choice for anyone wanting a light, compact drill for occasional home use.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 4.7 star rating from 162 reviews
- Heavier build suited to demanding work
- Power source listed inconsistently in spec data
- Zero units bought in the past month
- Heavier weight limits portability
Performance notes
At 5.1 kilograms, this drill sits well above typical compact cordless models, pointing to a heavier-duty design meant for demanding boring work rather than light household use. The listing shows a 24 volt, 10 amp rating alongside a power source field that reads hand powered, a contradiction the data alone cannot resolve. Buyers should verify the actual power setup against Makita's own specification sheet.
