Background

The Hitachi DH38MS is a rotary hammer, first launched in 2011. It is designed specifically for heavy-duty drilling and chiseling tasks in masonry applications. The device is equipped with an 8.4 amp motor, which provides 950 watts of power and 6.6 ft-lbs of impact energy, facilitating quick drilling and chiseling. The motor operates at a no-load speed of 510 RPM.
