Overview
Makita drives this demolition hammer with a powerful corded motor and an internal counterbalance that cancels much of the vibration before it reaches your hands. SDS-MAX chisels lock in with a one touch chuck and index to many angle positions.
Hitting power with reduced vibration is the reason to buy, so long sessions breaking concrete wear the operator down less. Constant speed and soft start keep impacts steady and controlled. The limits are its weight and a spec sheet voltage that should be confirmed before plugging in.
Who it's for
Demolition crews, tile setters and remodelers chipping concrete get strong impacts with less vibration. Occasional DIYers and anyone needing to drill rather than chisel should consider a lighter rotary hammer.
Pros and cons
- Anti-vibration counterbalance system
- Constant speed under load
- Soft start for precise starts
- Variable speed dial
- Heavy for overhead or wall work
- Voltage listed as 240, confirm for your outlet
- Loud at its rated noise level
Performance notes
Breaking speed depends on the impact energy delivered per blow and how many blows land each minute, which the speed dial controls. The counterbalance offsets the piston's recoil so more energy goes into the work and less into the user. Constant speed control adds power under load so the blow rate holds steady in hard concrete.
