Makita 28 mm 40 V AVT, AFT, AWS, Sds-Plus Combination Hammer, HR001GZ

Description

A Makita 28 mm 40 V AVT, AFT, AWS, Sds-Plus Combination Hammer, HR001GZ also known as a rotary hammer or rotary hammer drill, is a powerful and versatile power tool used for drilling into hard materials like concrete, stone, masonry, and more. These tools are commonly used in construction and renovation projects where heavy-duty drilling and chiseling are required. The term “combination” comes from their ability to perform three main functions: drilling, hammer drilling, and chiseling. Here are the key features and functions of a combination hammer: Combination Hammer / Rotary Hammer: Drilling: A combination hammer can function as a regular drill for making holes in materials such as wood, metal, or plastic. When set to the drilling mode, it rotates the drill bit in a circular motion. Hammer Drilling: In hammer drilling mode, the tool combines rotation with a rapid hammering or pounding action. This feature is used for drilling into hard materials like concrete and masonry. The hammering action helps break up the material while the drill bit rotates, making it easier to create holes. Chiseling: Combination hammers are equipped with a chisel function that allows them to perform tasks like chiseling, scaling, and breaking. This mode is useful for tasks such as removing tiles, breaking up concrete, or chiseling away unwanted material. Power Source: Combination hammers can be corded (plugged into an electrical outlet) or cordless (battery-powered). Corded models provide continuous power, while cordless models offer greater mobility but have limited runtime. Impact Energy: The impact energy, measured in joules or foot-pounds, indicates the tool’s hammering power. Higher impact energy levels are better suited for heavy-duty tasks. Variable Speed: Many combination hammers have variable speed settings, allowing users to adjust the drilling or chiseling speed to match the material and task. SDS-Plus or SDS-Max Chuck: These tools often use SDS (Slotted Drive System) chucks, which provide a secure and quick-change mechanism for installing drill bits and chisels. Anti-Vibration Technology: Some models are equipped with anti-vibration technology to reduce user fatigue and improve comfort during extended use. Depth Stop: A depth stop feature allows users to set a specific drilling depth, ensuring consistent hole depths. Side Handle: Combination hammers typically come with a side handle that provides stability and control during operation.
