Makita’s anti-vibration technology is a synchronized three-component system that includes an internal counterbalance to reduce vibration. The expanding AVT line-up includes a solution in every major concrete hammer category, from 1 pound to 70 pounds. For the most demanding applications, Makita 18V X2 LXT (36V) tools are powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries, so users get 36V power, speed and run-time without leaving the 18V battery platform. A range of 18V cordless solutions will be on demonstration for attendees to try for themselves.
