Makita Demolition Hammer September 13, 2008

I listened to the last guy that reviewed this hammer and ordered one the next day rather than renting one. If I would have just done that years ago I wouldn't be going in for shoulder surgery right now.
I used the hammer on rock for a solid day last week while digging a 100ft, main water line ditch that was in rock infested hard packed virgin soil. I was just amazed at how well the Makita electric hammer could work. It was a true enjoyment to use. Just make sure you let the weight of the hammer do the work for you... don't force it. Also don't forget to order a chisel or point for the hammer it doesn't come with one. On rock the Bosch HS2161 20-Inch x 20-1/2-Inch Moil Point worked best.
It was around 20 bucks through Amazon.
Yeah....and the case that came with the hammer is made of such thin metal that by the time you recieve it, it can either be uses for a hampster box or you can do like I did and T-Bone it in the round can. It came so completly bashed up it was hardly worth keeping. Now days when it says handle with care on the side...the shippers think that it means, " you can drop it from a fork lift and it will be just fine."
You won't be dissipointed with the hammer though. A great buy!! jz
Excellent choice - and better than renting! July 14, 2008

Like the other reviewers noted, those who have rented breakers from home centers often end up thinking about buying. The large breakers I've rented are great, but VERY heavy and a real workout to use. The Makita HM1304B is lighter but powerful and, for me, easier to handle. Mine came in a plastic case with wheels, and included a single moll-point chisel. It's the perfect choice for me and I'm completely satisfied.
Buy This Instead of Renting April 24, 2008

Any body who's had to break a fair amount of concrete knows the dilema- keep renting the 60 pound Bosch at a hundred bucks a day (including driving) or bite the bullet and buy this Makita breaker. But will the Makita get the job done and how fast? The answers are: yes it will do about any thing the big Bosch will, but only about 60-75% as fast. Pound for pound though, the Makita is more tool, which means YOU won't get as beat up in the process. And since you're not renting, you can space the (lessened) punishment out over more time. This tool is light enough to one hand at verticle, so you can alternate hands too. I'm more of a Hitachi and Bosch guy, but Makita makes good stuff, and this breaker is plenty tough to stand up to abuse. Tools-of-the-Trade magazine just did a test of breakers that comes out in favor of this tool also. Contrary to the picture, no point or any other accessories are included, so be sure to order an 1 1/8 tool, the longer the better. Amazon ships this in Makita's box, which has zero padding over the steel case. Consider it a steel shipping case because it WILL get toasted in shipping, though the tool itself is pretty much indestructable.
Glad I bought it. May 11, 2006

I bought this tool as a homeowner to remove large amounts of slab, fence footings and digging clay. I wanted to do a little at a time since there was alot of work to be done as opposed to renting a larger brute 60 lb. at the rental center.
I compared this to the bosch and dewalt SDS hammers and couldn't find any info on what thickness concrete these hammers could remove. I took a look at both hammers at homeless depot and the sales people at several stores couldn't answer my question. Neither could the bosch tech line. So I went with the heavier 1 1/8 bits just to be sure, glad I did. This hammer excells with 4" slab, I have used it to break up to 8" but it takes longer and you wind up with more rubble than chunks. I think I would have been dissapointed with the SDS hammers for my use. You don't want to be sweeping up concrete pebbles and dust. You do want this think to cut 25lb chunks. The others had more options like variable impact but that doesn't seem to matter. I bought a makita 1" demo hammer to take care of tile and scrape floors.
Have been very satisfied with this tool and glad I went with this choice. Wish I had bought it sooner since I seem to use it all the time. I hesitated with the price but it is worth the time and labor saved.
A great tool for back-breaking work! April 10, 2006

I'm a General Contractor building 200 to 1000sq' additons and buying and flipping houses. In my area it's about $190 to rent a air jack for the day + time giong to the rental yard and back + still having to pay rental fees when rained out + kick my rear trying to get done fast and return the rental and p-off the neighbors with the noise! The Makita 1304 is a great tool for me, it's paid for it's self verses renting! Granted it is a little slower than air but I like being able to hug my honey at the end of the day, use the tool at my will, Jackhammer side wall if nessisary, and not p-off the neighbors with noise! The first time I used the Makita 1304 it seamed slow busting the first piece untill I saw it was over 8" thick, but on 4-6" it busts through great, not to heavy, not to noisy,a great tool I highly recommend. I bought a long point bit and it puts the tool at the perfect hight so you back won't blow out (a big plus with the little Lady). The tool comes with a metal storage box thats surprizingly small for a big tool and still has room to store a couple bits. It's a Great Tool for a hard job.
