Product Description
This Makita rotary hammer is so powerful it can keep up corded models in its class! It drills twice as fast as its predecessors because it synchronizes the rotation and hammering actions for more efficient drilling. This tool has a built-in clutch that limits excess torque, protecting the motor, in the event it hits rebar while drilling through concrete. It has a brake that conveniently stops the rotation of the chuck when youve stopped drilling. This light-weight tool is only 7.1 pounds, 16-1/8 inches long and comes with a 2-finger trigger, which provides comfort when drilling for long periods. It has three modes: rotary hammer drill, drill only (for drilling through wood or steel or for driving fasteners with an accessory chuck) and hammer only (for light, light-duty chipping). This rotary hammer is a 7/8-inch drill, which means the maximum hole it can comfortably drill is 7/8 inches in diameter. It drills faster at smaller diameters. This Makita tool delivers a whopping 1.9 Joules of impact energy. It has a SDS-plus chuck, which means it accepts SDS-plus drill bits, not SDS-Max bits. SDS-plus bits and chisels have a specialized groove pattern on the chuck end of the bit to prevent slippage of the bit in the chuck. SDS-Max bits and chisels have a different groove pattern and are only used on more powerful corded rotary hammers and chipping hammers. An accessory chuck is available that inserts into the SDS-plus chuck, allowing usage of standard round-shank masonry drill bits.
