Makita HM1307C

Tools of the Japanese brand Makita are in demand all over the world due to their long service life and rich functionality. The HM1307C demolition hammer is quite expensive — $970. Let's see how this price is justified.

Lightweight and ergonomic

The tool is recognizable at first sight thanks to the corporate coloring and logo. It is compact, weighs a little 15.3 kg, fits comfortably in the hands due to the main and additional multi-position handle. Supplied in a durable branded plastic case complete with a peak chisel chambered for SDS Hex 30 mm.

For intensive but not heavy work

The chipper is intended for intensive works of average weight. This is indicated by the power of the electric motor 1510 W, the maximum speed of 1450 beats / min and the impact energy of 25.5 J.

The hammer successfully knocks down plaster, destroys a brick wall, dismantles the old asphalt pavement, but it cannot cope with breaking thick ice, loosening frozen or rocky soil, punching niches and openings in brick and concrete structures.

Advanced functionality

For operator comfort, manual shock rate adjustment and a soft start function are provided. The power cord length of 5 m gives relative freedom of movement around the apartment or work area.

The model has a convenient indicator showing when it is time to replace the carbon brushes, this is very convenient and prevents unwanted tool wear.

So, we conclude that the high cost of the HM1307C demolition hammer is explained not by power, but by high quality and the availability of options that increase operator comfort. Well, don't forget about the name. It also constitutes a cost.
