We like Japanese hammers. We think Hitachi offers the fastest, hardest hitting hammer with the best bang per buck in its all metal body IDI models like the DH45MR. Its UVP tools offer anti vibration user protection. The user gets unmatched drilling speed with minimal to no shake. A close second to the Hitachi is the Makita. High technology engineered motors give the Makita a clear performance advantage over Bosch, Hilti and DeWalt. Dont forget to buy your bits from us, a great selection at low prices. Much cheaper than the plumbing or electrical supply house.
