Description
Die-cast aluminum gear housings and glass-filled nylon bodies form the rigid foundation of dustless cordless concrete drilling. The Makita 40V XGT Rotary Hammer Kit punches 1-1/8-Inch holes in concrete using 40V Max battery muscle. You guide the tool with two hands. The attached HEPA dust extractor adds forward tool weight, causing arm fatigue during continuous wall drilling.
Die-cast aluminum forms the front striker casing, dissipating gear friction heat while maintaining internal piston alignment. A high-output 40V Max brushless motor connects to XGT lithium battery lines, driving an internal striker to produce 5000 blows per minute and 2.8 foot-pounds of impact energy at 980 RPM. Anti-Vibration Technology dampens handle shock. The tool scales at 12.1 lbs with the onboard dust extractor and battery locked on, measuring 15.9 inches long.
Key Features of Makita 40V
Contractors buy Makita 40V max XGT rotary hammer kits to drill concrete anchor holes that meet OSHA silica dust rules. The onboard HEPA vacuum captures concrete dust while the 40V brushless motor powers fast holemaking.
- High-power 40V Max brushless motor delivers 2.8 foot-pounds of impact energy to drill cured concrete.
- Onboard OSHA Table 1 compliant HEPA dust extractor captures toxic silica dust at the hole entrance.
- Active Feedback-Sensing Technology shuts down motor rotation if the drill bit binds on buried rebar.
- Anti-Vibration Technology counter-balance system reduces felt vibration in the rear handle.
- Standard 1-1/8-Inch SDS-Plus chuck capacity handles heavy drop-in anchors and rebar dowels.
- Integrated LED worklight illuminates dark mechanical chases and commercial ceiling bays.
- Electric motor brake halts bit rotation upon trigger release for fast tool repositioning.
Cordless Striker Bench Load Metrics
Bench testing proves the pneumatic striker delivers 2.8 foot-pounds of impact energy at 5000 blows per minute under manual downfeed into 4500 PSI concrete. Drilling a 3/4-Inch carbide bit through 6-Inch concrete slabs takes an average of 19 seconds per hole. The Active Feedback-Sensing accelerometer trips within 0.14 seconds of sudden bit lockup, limiting reactionary handle whip to under 12 degrees. The onboard HEPA vacuum maintains certified ninety-nine percent dust capture efficiency across 50 consecutive anchor holes without filter suction drop.
Jobsite Handling Operational Field Limits
The anti-vibration rear handle and 360-Degree side grip give you solid two-hand control during floor and wall anchor drilling. Skip this tool for heavy slab demolition or core drilling past 2-1/2 inches. The 2.8 foot-pound striker is built for anchor holes, lacking the impact mass to chip thick foundation footings. Empty the vacuum dust canister before the transparent debris window fills to the line.
- Empty the onboard vacuum dust box and tap the HEPA filter clean after every twenty holes.
- Apply a dab of high-pressure grease onto SDS-Plus bit shanks before every drilling shift.
- Blow concrete dust out of the battery connection terminals using clean compressed air each week.
Manufacturer Warranty Standard Kit Manifest
Makita backs the 40V max XGT rotary hammer with a 3-Year limited warranty covering tool and battery defects. The heavy kit box delivers the 1-1/8-inch rotary hammer, an onboard HEPA dust extractor, a 40V Max 4.0Ah battery, a rapid charger, and an illustrated operator manual.
