7 best Makita rotary hammers

Let's open the seven best Makita rotary hammers with a battery model that you can safely buy for home use. The form factor is classic, but the main handle is protected by an additional arc that strengthens the structure and protects the hands from impacts. The battery is installed from below, its capacity is 3 Ah, but you can also install a 4 Ah battery. Unfortunately, only one battery is included in the kit - for comfortable work, we recommend purchasing additional ones. Also on the body there is room for an additional handle and a depth gauge.

The impact energy is low - only 1.9 J. The power is enough to drill 20 mm holes in concrete. There is a reverse function and a safety clutch, which, however, can be found in all TOP-7 models. But not everyone has an engine brake, as on the DHR202RF - we will attribute it to the pluses.You can find fault with the rather high mass of the tool - 3.5 kg - many, including battery models, weigh much less. But a puncher with a case is supplied at a cost of a little less than 10 thousand rubles - an excellent offer.

The Makita technique can hardly be called affordable. High quality, reliability and decent performance cannot be cheap. However, relatively affordable tools are in the range of this company. The HR2470 model is well suited for both home and professional (for example, electricians) use without unnecessary fanaticism. The cost - 7.8 thousand rubles - can be safely called budget. The form factor is familiar to many - a horizontally mounted engine, a main handle that goes down, and an additional handle for convenience. It also has a depth gauge. Metal limiter - inspires confidence.

With a mass of 2.6 kg, the hammer drill develops 780 W of power and is capable of drilling holes in concrete with a diameter of up to 24 mm. A hollow crown can make a hole with a diameter of 65 mm. Cartridge - SDS-plus. Universal solution. We also note a long, 4-meter cable and a carrying case, in which, according to reviews, the punch itself, all the necessary equipment and even small additional tools fit.

Want more mobility? Pay attention to DHR242Z. First of all, the model attracts attention with its appearance.The engine here is located vertically, which has a positive effect on ease of use - the hammer is easier to hold in your hands and use in a confined space. We also note the design of the handle - with this it is more convenient to put pressure on the tool without creating distortions.

Characteristics worthy for a battery model: weight 3.3 Kg, impact energy 2.4 J. The DHR242Z copes well with concrete - you can drill holes with a diameter of up to 24 mm. It is also worth noting the presence of an engine brake, with which it is convenient to make many small holes in a short time, and anti-vibration protection, with which hands will get tired much less. The low price of the tool is due to the lack of a battery and a storage case in the kit. Both can be purchased separately for your needs. Note that the 6 Ah battery, judging by the reviews, is enough for a full working day.

For most people, construction is associated with an abundance of garbage and dust. But with modern technology, this stereotype can become a thing of the past. Take, for example, the HR2432 rotary hammer from Makita. This model is interesting with a pre-installed dust collector - dust from the place of drilling / drilling through the tube system enters a capacious bag. As a result, only a small (4-5 cm in diameter) circle of dust remains at the place of work, while the whole room remains clean - an excellent solution for those who mount this or that equipment in a room with a fine finish, furniture and appliances.

Otherwise, we have an ordinary high-quality puncher from a famous brand. Electric motor power - 780 watts.Weight - 3 kg - a little, given the presence of a dust collection system. The maximum impact energy is low - only 2.2 J, but enough for installation work. Like many other Makita rotary hammers, the HR2432 comes in a durable plastic case, the volume of which allows you to store and transport not only the tool, but also the equipment for it.

One of the most powerful models of Makita rotary hammers. The impact energy of the working tool reaches 20 J. To smooth the starting torque when the tool is connected to the network, a soft start system is used. Like all powerful rotary hammers from Makita, the HR5202C is equipped with a device that reduces the vibration effect on a person. The tool is specially designed to break through the most durable building structures and truly knows no barriers.

However, having outstanding energy performance, the tool has a rather narrow practical application, yielding to competitors in versatility. In particular, among the functionality there is no hammerless drilling mode and reverse. The model is good for drilling the most durable and thick walls and ceilings.

The model, which occupies the second line of the rating, weakly stands out against the background of its brothers in terms of characteristics. Here is the same 780 W motor, SDS-Plus cartridge for fast and reliable fixation. The HR2475 can effortlessly drill through concrete with a drill up to 24mm or a hollow core bit up to 68mm. The maximum impact energy is practically the maximum for a perforator of this class - 2.7 J.

The model was able to rise so high in the TOP-7 due to its ergonomics. First of all, thanks to the D-shaped handle. It is much more convenient than the usual design - it is more convenient to press, it is easier to hold the device perpendicular to the surface, and you can work with one hand if necessary. Also, the closed handle can protect your hand from an unpleasant and painful blow. Cable length - 4 m - with this you can forget about extension cords. Finally, we note that the Makita HR2475 comes in a plastic case, the merits of which we have already spoken about.

The operating parameters of this hammer drill allow the use of drills for concrete, the diameter of which reaches 52 mm, the permissible diameter when drilling with a hollow crown is 160 mm. High energy performance is ensured by the use of an electric motor with a power of 1500 W, as well as a keyless chuck of SDS size - max. The weight of the model is only 11.3 kg.

In their reviews, buyers note the ease with which the tool copes with drilling walls from the most durable materials, provided that high-quality drills are used. The feeling of vibration is minimal due to the efficiency of the anti-vibration system. As a disadvantage, a high price is sometimes noted, although the device is not among the most expensive in its class. Excellent model for professional use.
