  • The 11264EVS and 11265EVS 1 5/8-inch rotary hammers and the 11321EVS 12-pound demolition hammer feature Vibration Control technology. The technology includes an optimized impact mechanism that reduces vibration at the point of impact while increasing impact energy by 10 percent and allowing for 20 percent faster drilling in concrete, according to the company. A shock-absorbent main handle further reduces vibration and therefore user discomfort. The 11321EVS demo hammer, shown, offers 50 percent less vibration and delivers 9.6 foot-pounds of impact force. It features constant response circuitry, a variable-speed dial, and a 1,300- to 2,900-bpm range. 877-267-2499.

  • Cordless Rotary Hammers
  • TOOLS OF THE TRADE Magazine (7/16/2007)
  • As a self-employed contractor in New England for nearly 30 years, I've relied on rotary hammers for as long as I've been in business. As a concrete foundation contractor, I've used them to drill holes for placing rebar into existing foundations to tie into a new pour, and occasionally on new foundations to chisel out a misplaced or forgotten beam pocket or utility chase. These days, with my projects ranging from residential remodeling and new construction to light commercial work, I use them less often but for more varied tasks like drilling for missed anchor bolts, installing deck ledger bolts into foundation walls, chiseling out old concrete firestops, creating holes for conduit, and especially tying new foundations into old.
