The variable speed motor is made by Makita and can go from 0-1,200 RPM and 0-4,000 BPM.
A three-mode operation allows for “Rotation Only,” “Hammering with Rotation,” or “Hammering Only” for a wide range of applications, as well as “Rotation Only..
Two-finger variable speed trigger for even more ease of us.
RPM and BPM work together to make drilling faster.
People who drive with a torque-limiting clutch are less likely to damage their gears by disengaging the gears if a piece of metal gets stuck.
Makita’s 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 7/8-Inch SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer (model XRH03Z, tool only) is faster and more efficient at the job site. The XRH03Z can be used for a wide range of concrete drilling tasks because it has three modes of operation and a built-in torque limiter. The LXT Lithium-Ion Battery makes this rotary hammer great for use in places where running a cord isn’t possible. A handle that has been tested on the job site protects the battery housing from shocks. Powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide battery, it’s part of Makita’s growing 18V Lithium-Ion series. This is the world’s largest line of cordless tools powered by a battery that slides. 18V lithium-ion batteries from Makita have the fastest charge times in their categories because they work more and don’t have to wait as long to be charged.
They range in weight from about 40 pounds to this one. A lot of stones and clay are in the soil where I live. I’ve built two houses there and dug too many trenches by hand and with those rotary hammers, and I’ve also had to move a lot of rocks. I like to use the XRH03Z when the bigger rotary hammers I have are too much. It’s great for chipping and drilling, and it’s easy to use when the bigger hammers are too much. With the variable speed, I can work very gently with the XRH03Z, but I can also dig in more deeply when I need to. As I get older, I become more and more grateful for not having to carry more weight than a job requires, and I love being cord-free when I can.
