Makita Power Tools at World of Concrete 2011
We have previously mentioned some of the new products from Bosch & DeWalt at the World of Concrete 2011 but we certainly have not forgotten about Makita Power Tools who showed up with an impressive outdoor set up and several new products. Not to mention all the Rockstar, Motocross, Makita Girl flair we have come to expect. Also check out this photo album from the Matika outdoor booth from World of Concrete 2011.
"Makita offers a full range of solutions to the concrete pro, including rotary and demolition hammers, grinding and surfacing solutions, concrete power cutters, accessories, diamond blades, and more," said Wayne Hart, Communications Manager, Makita USA. "Makita power tools deliver industrial strength performance with less vibration in a more compact size, and are engineered to beat up the concrete, not the end user. World of Concrete is a great opportunity to present our latest best-in-class tools and let contractors feel the difference for themselves."
Three New Demolition Hammers
Makita launched 3 brand new demolition hammers at this year’s WOC2011, including new HM1307CB 35lb (1-1/8” Hex), HM1203C 20lb (SDS-Max) and HM0870C 11lb (SDS-Max).
The new 35 lb. Demolition Hammer (HM1307CB) combines more control and less vibration with hard hitting power. The new HM1307CB is powered by a 14 AMP Makita-built motor with 34.9 Joules of impact energy and 730-1,450 BPM. At only 12.2 m/s2 vibration, the HM1307CB is engineered to deliver more power to the work surface for more efficient work. Ease-of-use features include a rubberized ergonomic soft grip to provide more comfort and control, and the easy-to-operate slide switch to increase productivity and allow for continuous use. In addition, the side-handle swivels 360° for greater control.The new 20 lb. Demolition Hammer (HM1203C) is engineered with more power, more impact energy, and less weight than the previous model. The new HM1203C is powered by a 14 AMP Makita-built motor with 18.8 ft. lbs./ 25.5 joules of impact energy and 950-1,900 BPM. At only 15.5 m/s2 vibration, the HM1203C is engineered to deliver more power to the work surface for more efficient work. The HM1203C weighs only 20.3 lbs. for an improved power-to-weight ratio, and it’s ideal for vertical and horizontal applications.
The new 11 lb. Demolition Hammer (HM0870C) is also engineered with more power than the previous model. The new HM0870C is powered by a 10 AMP Makita-built motor with 11.4 joules of impact energy and 1,100 – 2,650 BPM. At only 11.0 m/s2 vibration, the HM0870C is engineered to deliver more power to the work surface for more efficient work. The HM0870C weighs only 11.1 lbs. for improved power-to weight ratio.
Dust Extraction
This topic keeps coming up and it looks like it will continue whether you are talking Makita Grinders with SJS (Super Joint System) technology, drilling holes with their SDS-Plus drills or any other form of cutting or grinding concrete. While we have seen a good amount of new technology it is our thought we will see even more R&D going specifically into dust extraction and disposal in the coming years. Most likely someday in the not to far off future there won’t be any dust in the air on jobsites.
Extracurricular Fun
In addition to displays and demonstrations of the latest concrete solutions, Makita had a few additional elements at the booth, including the Rockstar Makita LeDuc Race Team and their 900 HP Truck. Curt, Kyle, and Todd LeDuc are the best family race team in the off-road business. They also use Makita tools to keep their trucks on-track in high-energy racing throughout the year. As usual Makita provides a team of very attractive women in addition to Miss Makita & Senorita Makita to talk in-depth about the technology and engineering behind each tool… or just to look pretty and smile a lot.
