Makita 780 W Corded SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer - 24 mm Chuck, 3-Mode Variable Speed (HR2470)

Versatile Heavy-Duty Drilling and Light Demolition Excellence

 

The Makita HR2470 is a benchmark in industrial versatility, engineered for contractors who require a single tool capable of handling drilling, hammer-drilling, and light chiseling. Powered by a high-durability 780 W motor, this rotary hammer is designed with a synchronized 3-mode switching mechanism that allows for seamless transitions between "Rotation Only," "Hammering with Rotation," and "Hammering Only."

This model is built for longevity, featuring a torque limiter that protects the internal gears and the operator from sudden lock-ups when hitting rebar. The internal mechanical components are housed in a rugged casing with a zig-zag varnish on the armature to protect the motor from dust and debris. With its high impact energy and 40 different bit angle settings for chiseling, the HR2470 provides the precision and power needed for complex structural masonry and renovation projects.

 

Key Features

• 3-Mode Operation: Offers full versatility with drilling (wood/steel), hammer-drilling (masonry), and chiseling (tile/mortar removal) modes.

• 40 Bit Angle Settings: Allows the chisel bit to be locked at various angles for ergonomic operation in tight corners or specific demolition tasks.

• Torque Limiter: Safety clutch system that disengages the drive if the bit binds, preventing kickback and ensuring operator safety.

• Extended Service Life: Features high-durability carbon brushes and a dust-protected motor for reliable performance in harsh site conditions.

• Ergonomic D-Handle: Designed for maximum control and comfort during horizontal or downward drilling and chipping.
