Makita HR4013C/1 110V SDS-Max AVT Rotary Demolition Hammer Supplied in A Carry Case

Product Information

Overall, the Makita HR4013C is a great choice if you’re looking for a rotary hammer with soft vibration, especially if user fatigue is your biggest concern.

Easy to operate operation-mode change lever, located on the top of the motor housing for reduced possibility of breakage

What Are the Alternatives?

Vibration absorbing housing features a spring loaded main handle and upper housing that move independently of the motor and drive mechanism efffectively isolating most of the vibration away from the user The soft no load function automatically reduces the motor speed during idling to suppress the vibration of the machine body. There is a handy LED service light indicating when to replace carbon brush, preventing additional damage to the gearings. Soft no load" function automatically reduces the motor speed during idling to suppress the vibration of the machine body. As mentioned above, the AVT, or anti-vibration technology, helps reduce user fatigue when you’re working on very difficult tasks for long periods of time. For jobs that require a lot of power (e.g. hard clay soil and trenching), you’ll definitely like the Makita HR4013C and its 11-amp motor. Furthermore, its anti-vibration technology helps a lot when it comes to tough material and leaves you feeling less tired afterward.

You can also try the Bosch 11264EVS if you want that variable speed function, although this one has a slightly bigger drilling capacity. It also has a similar vibration control mechanism similar to the Makita HR4013C.In hammering mode, on/off switch is switchable between two switches to meet your application, for continuous or intermittent chiselling applications

Aside from the warranty policy, what you might find useful is the LED service light. This helps you easily identify when something may be wrong with the tool, so you can take it to the nearest service center. Usability If you want an even bigger drilling capacity, the Bosch RH745 might be worth considering. It offers variable speed and is equipped with dust protection features. As mentioned earlier, using this hammer drill’s anti-vibration technology (AVT), you’ll experience fewer vibrations when you handle the tool. Of course, it doesn’t mean that all the vibration is gone, but it will make it more comfortable to handle than your standard rotary hammer. This would be a big plus for beginners (or seniors) who aren’t so comfortable with long hours of demolition jobs. It has a soft start feature. Makita's Latest AVT 40mm SDS MAX Rotary Hammer Allows 8-Hour Working The latest version of Makita’s popular 40mm AVT rotary hammer drill delivers a massive 25% increase in impact power with an even larger 30% reduction in vibration rating. Impact energy of the new Makita HR4013C is increased to 7.6 Joules whilst the vibration rating in hammer-only action is ultra-low at 4.5m/sec² and in rotary hammer drilling mode an equally impressive 5.0m/sec². Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT) is a synchronized, three-component system that more effectively reduces vibration resulting in a low 5 m/s²This rotary hammer’s most prominent feature is its AVT or anti-vibration technology, which is helpful if user fatigue is often your concern when handling concrete or masonry tasks for hours. This rugged 2-mode machine – rotary drilling with hammer action and hammer action-only for chiselling - has the easy-to-operate mode change switch positioned conveniently on top of the motor body ahead of the vibration reducing rear grip handle. With variable speed controlled by the grip trigger, and a constant speed control that can be set for constant running when chiselling, the HR4013C can also be used with the trigger controlling chiselling for intermittent work. Since it is capable of variable speed, you can switch between 1,450 and 2,900 BPM modes (with a no-load speed of 250 to 500 RPM). As with most powerhouse rotary hammers, it is corded and comes with a 15-foot-long line. Quality Advanced Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT®) is a synchronized, three-component system that more effectively reduces vibration resulting in a low 5m/s2 Sequential impact timing delivers timed hammering during rotation to minimize overlapping bit impacts for up to 50% faster drilling
