The Makita 8406 is a professional-grade, corded rotary drill expertly crafted for diamond core drilling and general masonry work. Featuring a heavy-duty 850 W motor, it supports both percussion mode for 13 mm pilot holes and smooth rotary-only operation when drilling with large dry diamond cores up to 152 mm (6″).

Built for safety, it includes a torque-limiter clutch that disengages the drive when a core bit binds, protecting both operator and tool. Variable speed control (0–1,500 rpm) and double insulation ensure precise performance and reliability. Ideal for trades like plumbing, electrical, and general contracting, its ergonomic side handle and 3.5 kg weight make handling manageable during continuous use.
