So, this compressor has the classic Makita look with the very convenient D-handle on the side. Its main advantages are its immediate impact and very good anti-vibration features. Now, let's move on to the negatives. First, it is quite heavy compared to the competition. Its clutch during rotation is not the best. Sometimes it breaks your hands and other times it gets on your nerves. For example, it has happened to me that it repeatedly jams and even though it has the power and manages to drill through, it doesn't want to give it its all. In my opinion, this is due to the automatic speed adjustment when there is no load. This happens quite often when drilling, which may also be because, due to fatigue, you don't apply the same force to the tool consistently throughout. Or you move it back and forth to clear out the dust. And the second and main disadvantage is that compared to the immortal 5001c, which was released two models ago, this particular compressor is garbage. I have two and I keep them because one is a backup for when the other is at the repair shop. And that's because the motor shaft gets misaligned either due to poor quality bearings at the bottom or due to excessive heat. I haven't determined exactly what's to blame, but so far both of them need a coil, rewinding, and carbon brushes almost every year. At the time of writing this review, both compressors are at the repair shop because even though the motors spin, there is no impact. Probably the connecting rod in both at the same time. That is, one was in storage and its connecting rod broke, so I took the second one and it broke after 10 minutes of use. One is 2 years old and the other is 4. One is made in England and the other is made in Japan. And I'll put it simply. The tool is cheap because that's what it's worth. And that's how today I went to the yellow team to see a better day, and if I don't see one there, I'll go to the blue. Even though I was a crazy Makita fan when it came to compressors (I also have a 4012c), there's no going back after such reliability. It should be noted that the old 5001c used to cost €1000 back when euros had value. Makes sense, doesn't it?

Classic quality Makita, but after 2 years the automatic switch broke and I am forced to constantly press the trigger. This is a major downside for long hours of work. Of course, as for the impact, it is just a machine gun, the HK-11!!

I have it for a week, I have used it twice for a short period of time. It doesn't chew anything. You don't feel any vibrations in relation to its power, it doesn't tire you at all. If you want something powerful to demolish and at the same time rotary, I think you don't have a second choice. I recommend it 100%. I am very satisfied.
*Put a suitcase on it to withstand, it will be left in our hands. It's a shame for such a tool

I bought it for professional use. The definition of the tool for every professional who wants impact and rotation. I haven't tried it in pure impact because I haven't needed to break anything yet. After communication between the official representative and the company, they came to my place for a demonstration. Unfortunately, they only had the smaller model (HR4013C), which seemed pretty good to me, but their employee suggested that I buy the larger one (HR52212C) because I wanted to drill large diameter holes in concrete (ideally 70 mm). Its only negative is the packaging. Literally, this case cannot support the weight of the tool. A very "cheap" choice from Makita.

I have owned the tool for almost three weeks.
First impressions: Negative is the fact that the carrying case has plastic clasps. A 12 kg tool, which together with the drills and chisels exceeds 15 kg, needs a more durable case, to withstand hardships.
Positives: Build quality. Very low vibrations, compared to its power. Power. Excellent ergonomics, with the two side handles it has and its compact dimensions.
Its most impressive feature is its price. At €783.00, which I bought it for from an official reseller (which means a 3-year warranty), IT HAS NO COMPETITOR. Even older technology tools from other companies are sold for €100-200 more, without being better tools.
*I reserve the right to update my review when I have used it more and can draw more accurate conclusions.
