I was so happy to find a handle, for my DH38YE, at such a low price. Well, the reason it's inexpensive is that this is only the grasping part of the handle. If you have a DH38YE with no side handle at all, you will need to pay $18 for the part that clamps around the DH38YE. Plus about $3 for a special bolt. Then you can screw this "handle" into the clamp and you will have something that works. I was fooled because the photo, on the Amazon product page, showed the entire rotary hammer with the handle/handle holder clamp installed. And looking further down the page, where Amazon usually promotes anything remotely connected to the for sale product, there is nothing showing the handle holder/clamp. Here's the handle holder: [...] I had to go to a Makita parts web site, look up the model, and I found that the handle I had bought was just a part of what was necessary. So if all you have is a broken plastic handle, this will be good enough. If you bought a used DH38YE, like I did, with no handle assembly, you'll be spending a lot more. Read more
