Makita has released the 1-in. SDS-PLUS AVT Rotary Hammer, with HEPA Dust Extractor with D-Handle (HR2663). It features an 8-amp motor that delivers 2.1 ft. lbs. of impact energy for demanding applications.
“The new 1-in. SDS-PLUS AVT Rotary Hammer delivers power and performance where concrete pros need it most,” said Rufus Richardson, senior product manager for commercial products, Makita U.S.A., Inc. "The HR2663 gives the user an OSHA Compliant Hammer with a d-shaped handle that allows use in overhead drilling applications. It can also be used for horizontal and downward anchor setting applications. The versatility of the HR2653 will further expand Makita’s Rotary Hammer Portfolio.”
Vibration and HEPA Dust Extraction
The HR2663 is equipped with Makita Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT), which is an internal counterbalance system to reduce vibration. The AVT system is designed for users who are running a rotary hammer for long periods of time.
The included HEPA Dust Extractor is OSHA Table 1 compliant for Exposure to Respirable Crystalline Silica (rule 1926.1153). The on-board dust extractor includes a filter cleaning mechanism designed to help maintain suction. The dust extractor is activated by the tool and is equipped with an efficient HEPA filtration system that captures 99.97% of particulates .3 microns and larger. It has a transparent dust container with a level indicator of collected material.

The three modes of operation offer “rotation only”, “hammering with rotation” or “chipping only” for multiple applications. Modes can be changed with a recessed hammer-function selector, which is located below the gear housing for durability.
Other features include a pistol-grip handle with a rubberized soft grip, as well as a depth stop adjustment that allows drilling up to 7-1/2 in. deep.
