Our verdict

A heavier Makita drill at over 11 pounds with a 24V, 10A rating, though its power source is unclear from the listing data and worth confirming first.

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.

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.

  • Brand: Makita
  • Model: HM0870C
  • Weight: 5.1 kg (11.2 lb)
  • Rated: 24V, 10A

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.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Heavier build suited to demanding work
Cons
  • Power source listed inconsistently in spec data
  • 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.
