Makita 80V Max (40V Max X2) XGT AVT Rotary Hammer (Bare Tool) – GRH06Z

Makita 80V Max (40V Max X2) XGT AVT Rotary Hammer (Bare Tool) – GRH06Z

The 80V max (40V max X2) XGT Brushless 2 AVT Rotary Hammer (GRH06Z, tool only) is a cordless concrete solution designed for heavy-load applications. It delivers the power, speed, and run-time for corded demands, without the cord. The GRH06Z is powered by two 40V max lithium-ion batteries, with an 80V brushless motor that delivers up to 27% faster drilling performance than an equivalent corded model. This hard-hitting performance is combined with advanced comfort and convenience features including Active Feedback-Sensing Technology (AFT), which electronically turns off the motor if rotation of bit is suddenly forced to stop. It is also equipped with Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT) for reduced vibration. More than just a padded handle, AVT is an internal counterbalance that uses air pressure to move counterweight pistons in the opposite direction of the drive piston to actively reduce vibration. In addition, the vibration-absorbing back handle and side handle are engineered to further reduce vibration. For added durability in harsh job site conditions, Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance. The Rotary Hammer has dust extraction capability with an optional Makita Dust Attachment Kit (sold separately). For added efficiency, the GRH06PM is equipped with Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS), which uses Bluetooth technology for wireless power-on and power-off communication between the equipped tool and dust extractor (sold separately). Once connected via AWS, the AWS-equipped dust extractor will automatically power on or off when the AWS-equipped cordless tool starts or stops, running only when the tool is in use. This increases productivity on a single charge and reduces continuous noise at the job or work site.

What our Experts Think

• Cordless Power That Rivals Corded: Dual 40V Max batteries deliver true 80V Max performance for heavy concrete drilling matching and often surpassing corded expectations without the hassle of a cord.

• Serious Impact Energy & Speed: Brushless motor and XGT digital communication provide fast drilling with strong impact energy for SDSMAX bits (up to 2 concrete capacity).

• Advanced Vibration & Comfort Tech: AntiVibration Technology (AVT) plus vibrationabsorbing handles reduce fatigue critical for long shifts or tough jobs.

• Smart Safety & Control: Active FeedbackSensing Technology (AFT) shuts the tool down if a bit binds, protecting users and the tool while boosting jobsite safety.

• AWSReady & JobSite Friendly: AutoStart Wireless System (AWS) capability allows seamless wireless dust extractor communication (accessory required), and Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) enhances durability in harsh conditions.

• ToolOnly Flexibility: Baretool format lets pros use existing batteries/chargers and tailor their kit to specific job needs ideal for fleet users already invested in XGT.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean After Use: Wipe dust, concrete debris, and grit from the tool body and vents after each job to prevent buildup and improve cooling and performance.

• Check SDSMAX Bits: Before operation, inspect bits and shanks for wear or debris; lightly grease bit shanks periodically to aid smooth insertion and reduce wear on the chuck.

• Inspect Fasteners: Tighten the side handle and any accessories before every use to maintain control and reduce vibration strain.

• Battery Best Practices: Use genuine Makita 40V Max XGT batteries (sold separately); charge before full discharge and store in a cool, dry place to extend battery life and maintain consistent power delivery.

• Rest After Heavy Work: If the tool gets hot during extended demanding drilling, pause to let it cool before continuing to protect internal components.

• AWS & Dust Extraction: If paired with an AWSenabled dust extractor (accessory sold separately), clean extractor filters and ports regularly to maintain efficient dust collection and safer operation
