Rotary Hammers From Makita and Bosch
Having a quality cordless rotary hammer can make a world of difference in the work of heavy-duty craftsmen. Uniting tremendous power with the convenience of portability, these power tools are designed to enhance your productivity as well as your comfort on the job. The best rotary hammers in the cordless community today come from Makita and Bosch with high-performance and innovation.
Makita’s BHR240 (7/8″) SDS-plus rotary hammer is a seriously awesome tool with big enough power to keep you shaking in your boots. Utilizing lithium-ion battery technology and an optimum battery charging system the tool has a vastly extended work-time with twice as many charge cycles. Three modes of operation, rotation only, hammering with rotation, and hammering only provide striking versatility on the job, and with synchronized RPM and BPM the tool delivers ultra fast, efficient drilling. A built-in torque-limiter quickly disengages the chuck should its bit become jammed, and the tool’s chisel rotates a complete 360 degrees with 40 different working positions to ensure the greatest working comfort and versatility. Additionally, the hammer weighs just a meager 7.1 lbs for compact, lightweight, and comfortable portability. Ultimately, with an ergonomic and powerful design, reliable longevity, and a price-tag from around $430 – $470, the hammer is a smart investment and a brilliant machine.
Similarly, Bosch’s 11536VSR (1″) cordless SDS-plus rotary hammer combines power and innovation unlike any other hammer in the industry. Drilling faster than both cordless and corded models, the tool delivers ridiculous productivity, and utilizing Bosch’s lightweight and long-lasting litheon battery technology, the tool’s big power is perfectly portable. Its pneumatic impact mechanism is the strongest available among cordless models, and with an innovated striker guidance mechanism, striking pin, and overall tool design, the hammer’s impact transmission is unfailingly accurate with virtually no loss of energy. The tool’s variable speed trigger allows you to remain in charge of each task, and an integral clutch reduces unwanted torque reactions for complete control as you work. The 11536VSR also offers three modes of operation (rotation only, hammering with rotation, and hammering only) and 36 position locking chisel for comfort and control through each project. Altogether, with the capacity to drill as fast as 7.1″ per minute and costing around $645 – $675, the tool is a costly machine, but is worth every penny.
