Makita - A90582 MAKITA Hammer Grease, A-90582

A proprietary grease, which is definitely the best for Makita SDS drilling: good price: good lasting quantity.

Does the job

I bought this grease as an impulse buy when I saw that it was on sale for less than $2. I am a DIYer and have an older HF SDS-plus rotary hammer, and a newer Bosch SDS-max rotary hammer. They only get occasional use, and I have never changed or added grease to them, so I thought this would be a good idea to get this grease and properly maintain these tools. I was expecting that this might be grease that is repackaged by a third party into small tubes, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the bottle is embossed with the Makita logo, so it's pretty certain that this was actually packaged by Makita. For this low price, it was a no-brainer just to get this and to do the simple maintenance on these tools.

Works great for rebuilding the Dewalt 20V SDS hammer drill.

I've only used this rotary hammer grease 3 times on my Makita rotary hammer, but it works well and the price was right too.

Found out that my $5 auction Makita HR5000 rotary hammer grease pit was absolutely empty during restoration. Figured that other significantly cheaper greases probably wouldn't be right for it (like white lithium or silicone), so went with this OEM grease, which WAS expensive at $5-8 during 2019, but now it's a no brainer at $1.25 right now. There is also a 500g bottle, but it's $42, making these 28-30g at $1.25 a far better cost ratio. You would need to buy 18 of these, totally $22.50, to get even at 504g (18*28g). Bought 5 of them, which appeared to be the limit, but will likely need and buy more as long as it stays at $1.25 or lower. Also very clearly marked "Made in Japan", so it should be good quality. Don't know how well these will perform in other areas that need tool grease, but these are specifically formulated for Makita's rotary hammer grease pits.

Great lube for SDS Plus bits. The bit end fits perfectly into the bottle. And since the bottle is small, it will probably fit in your Rotary Hammer case.
