SDS‑Max Bush Hammer Makita P-16352 — rotary bush hammer head for SDS‑Max hammers

Makita SDS‑Max Bush Hammer P-16352 is a replaceable rotary bush hammer head made for SDS‑Max compatible demolition hammers. Designed to create a textured finish by repeated impact, this bush hammer head prepares concrete surfaces for overlays, removes old coatings and laitance, and produces slip‑resistant finishes. The part is intended for professional trades and renovation work where controlled surface roughening is required.

Advantages

The bush hammer head provides uniform texturing across concrete and masonry surfaces thanks to a pattern of hardened points that deliver consistent impact. Being compatible with SDS‑Max rotary hammers, it installs quickly and is engineered for reliable performance under heavy use. The replaceable design minimizes downtime and allows operators to refresh the working surface without replacing the entire tool. Constructed from hardened steel, the head maintains cutting geometry for efficient material removal and long service life under normal professional use.

Suitable for

• Preparation of concrete before adhesive or overlay application
• Removal of cement laitance, paint, sealants and weak surface layers
• Creating non‑slip textured surfaces on slabs, ramps and walkways
• Surface profiling prior to bonding or resurfacing

Key specifications

• Compatibility: designed for SDS‑Max demolition/rotary hammers
• Function: rotary bush hammer head for impact texturing
• Material: hardened steel working points for wear resistance
• Finish type: patterned textured/profiled concrete surface
• Application environment: concrete and masonry substrates

How to use

Fit the bush hammer head to an SDS‑Max demolition hammer following the hammer manufacturer's mounting instructions and ensure the tool is disconnected from power before changing accessories. Secure the head and verify firm engagement. Operate the hammer at recommended impact settings while moving the tool evenly across the surface to achieve consistent texturing. Apply steady, controlled passes; avoid lingering in one spot to prevent excessive material removal. Inspect the head regularly and replace if points are excessively worn or damaged.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and hearing protection, gloves and respiratory protection when generating dust. For best results on large areas, plan work in overlapping passes and adjust hammer power or stroke rate to match substrate hardness. Replace the bush hammer head when texture uniformity declines to maintain predictable surface profiles.
