Makita HR2455 - Makes Short Work Of A Big Task

For any tradesman who regularly drills materials including concrete, steel, or even just wood the Makita HR2455 rotary hammer is an absolute must have in the tool kit. Do-It Your-Self junkies however, should think twice before buying this serious piece of equipment.

You will find that the Makita HR2455 has two handy settings - hammer and drill together and just hammer. Sometimes changing mode can be a time consuming process however, on this tool this is most certainly not the case. This rotary hammer has a perfectly located switch which rotates allowing you to make your choice of mode quickly and easily. The hammer and drill when used in unison is brilliant for boring into hard concrete and masonry whilst the hammer only mode is well suited for demolition work - it is possible to buy special bits for this type of job. It does boast a third drill only mode which, although it is suitable for use to drill wood or metal, on a monster of a tool like this it will probably be seldom used.

If need to change bits the Makita HR2455 rotary hammer again makes life very simple. This tool has a slide lock mechanism which is very simple to use. Quite simply insert the bit - which has been designed for this type of mechanism - and twist to lock the bit firmly in place. To free a bit pull the lock cuff down. An additional massive advantage is that you can be assured that the bit will not become loosened when put under huge amounts of pressure.
