Makita (HR5212C) 2" Advanced AVT Rotary Hammer, accepts SDS-MAX bits, 2-mode, var. spd., case - HR5212C
The 2 in. AVT rotary hammer has over 45% less vibration than the previous model. It is engineered with enhanced anti-vibration technology (AVT), a synchronized three-component system for significantly less vibration. The result of the enhanced AVT is a category-leading vibration rating of 9 m/s². The powerful 15 AMP motor delivers 19.1 joules (14 ft. lbs.) of impact energy. An added feature is the option of lock-on or trigger-activated in the chipping only mode, with a push button start/stop control for more convenient operation. The HR5212C is engineered for a range of concrete applications including drilling/coring through-holes for pipes, setting larger anchors, securing tilt-wall supports, small chipping applications, and more. It is ideal for a range of trades including masons, concrete contractors, demolition contractors, plumbers, electricians, sprinkler installers, and general contractors seeking a best-in-class rotary hammer.
Features
- Powerful 15 AMP motor delivers 14 ft. lbs. of impact energy to handle the most demanding applications
- Anti-vibration technology (AVT) is a synchronized, three-component system that more effectively reduces vibration resulting in a low 9 m/s2
- Air actuated counterbalance directs air pressure from the crank and barrel room into the counterbalance cylinders to move counterweight pistons in the opposite direction of the drive piston actively reducing vibration
- Vibration absorbing housing features a spring loaded main handle and upper housing that move independently of the motor and drive mechanism effectively isolating most of the vibration away from the user both at the rear handle and side handle
