Powerful Low Vibration Demolition Hammer for Concrete Work
Makita 45 lb. AVT Demolition Hammer – 1-1/8" Hex
The Makita HM1512 45 lb. AVT Demolition Hammer is a heavy-duty corded tool engineered for demanding concrete and masonry demolition. Powered by a 15-amp motor, it delivers 35.7 ft.-lbs. of impact energy and 1,300 blows per minute, making it well suited for breaking concrete, removing slabs, trenching, and other high-impact applications.
Its Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT) combines an internal counterbalance with vibration-absorbing handles to help reduce vibration transferred to the operator. The in-line body design also improves balance and maneuverability, particularly when working in tighter areas.
Key Features
- 45 lb. Heavy-Duty Design: Provides substantial tool mass for demanding demolition applications.
- 15-Amp Motor: Delivers high-output performance for heavy concrete work.
- 35.7 ft.-lbs. Impact Energy: Provides strong impact force for breaking and chipping hard materials.
- 1,300 BPM: Delivers a consistent high-impact rate for efficient material removal.
- 1-1/8" Hex Bit Capacity: Accepts widely available 1-1/8-inch hex demolition bits.
- AVT Anti-Vibration Technology: Uses an internal counterbalance and vibration-absorbing handles to reduce vibration.
- In-Line Body Design: Helps improve balance and maneuverability in confined working areas.
- Soft Start: Helps suppress start-up reaction for smoother starts and improved control.
- Soft No-Load Function: Automatically reduces motor speed when the tool is operating without load, helping reduce unnecessary wear.
- Dust Extraction Capability: Compatible with an optional Makita dust-extraction attachment.
- LED Indicators: Power and service indicators provide useful tool-status information.
- Rolling Tool Case: Includes a wheeled case for storage and transportation.
Powerful Demolition Performance
The HM1512 is designed specifically for heavy-duty chipping and demolition, rather than conventional drilling. Its 15-amp motor and impact mechanism generate 35.7 ft.-lbs. (48.5 J) of impact energy, allowing it to tackle demanding concrete applications.
Typical applications include:
- Breaking concrete
- Removing concrete slabs
- Chipping floors
- Masonry demolition
- Trenching
- Foundation work
- Lower-wall demolition
- Concrete renovation
- Heavy-duty material removal
Makita specifically identifies the HM1512 as suitable for heavy demolition of lower wall zones and floor foundations up to approximately 8 inches thick, as well as trenching and tamping applications.
1-1/8" Hex Bit System
The 1-1/8-inch hex chuck accommodates heavy-duty demolition accessories designed for this common shank size. The included 20-1/2-inch bull point is ready for concrete-breaking and chipping applications, while additional compatible chisels and points can be selected for specific tasks.
Always use accessories rated for the tool and application.
AVT Anti-Vibration Technology
Makita's AVT system uses an internal counterbalance together with vibration-absorbing handles to reduce vibration. The counterbalance is engineered to generate an opposing force to the impact mechanism, helping minimize vibration without sacrificing impact performance.
The HM1512 has a listed vibration level of 6.5 m/s², providing substantially reduced vibration compared with conventional heavy demolition hammers.
In-Line Design for Better Control
The HM1512 features an in-line body configuration that is designed to improve balance and make the tool easier to maneuver in narrow working areas. This is particularly useful when the operator needs to position the hammer against walls, floors, or other difficult-to-access surfaces.
Soft Start and Soft No-Load Function
The Soft Start feature helps suppress the initial start-up reaction, allowing the operator to position the bit more accurately before full impact begins.
The Soft No-Load function automatically reduces motor speed when the hammer is not under load. This helps reduce unnecessary operation while the tool is idle.
Dust Extraction Capability
For applications where dust management is important, the HM1512 can be equipped with an optional Makita dust-extraction attachment. This provides a means of connecting the demolition hammer to a compatible dust-extraction system.
Professional Heavy-Duty Construction
At 45 lb., the HM1512 provides considerable mass to help keep the hammer planted against the work surface. Its corded design also provides continuous electrical power, making it suitable for extended demolition operations without battery changes.
The tool includes a wheeled carrying case, making transportation easier despite its substantial weight.
Ideal Applications
The Makita HM1512 is suitable for:
- Concrete demolition
- Foundation work
- Floor and slab removal
- Masonry demolition
- Trenching
- Concrete chipping
- Lower-wall demolition
- Tamping applications
- Heavy construction
- Renovation and remodeling
