A hammer designed to take a pounding

Hitachi Power Tools has introduced a new 20-pound SDS Max demolition hammer, the H60MRV. The hammer features a powerful 12.5-amp motor that delivers 19.2 ft/lbs of impact energy to get the job done faster. It is engineered to power through concrete and stone materials quickly. The design of the tool absorbs vibration. It offers constant speed control with a variable speed control dial and turns out a no-load noise level of only 91.5 dB. The hammer features both Hitachi’s new aggressive ergonomic design and its patented IDI technology, which increases durability and longevity. With IDI, the aluminum housing of the hammer is intertwined with an injection molded inner nylon core. This technology combines the durability of an all-metal-body tool with the insulation advantages of tools with plastic housings. The armature bearing is seated in aluminum, not plastic, to withstand high heat and stress from extreme use. The H60MRV hammer is equipped with a handle that flexes on the sides to isolate and absorb shock. The handle is made from elastomer, a Hitachi-patented compound that reduces vibration transfer to the user. In addition, the hammer features an adjustable side D-handle that rotates 360 degrees and swivels front to back. For more information, visit www.hitachipower tools.com
