Rotary Combination Hammer Metabo KHEV 8-45 BL SDS‑Max 1500 W, brushless, for drilling and chiseling

The Metabo KHEV 8-45 BL SDS‑Max is a rotary combination hammer with a 1500 W brushless motor designed for drilling and chiseling in concrete and masonry. It accepts SDS‑Max bits and chisels and is built for continuous use on construction sites where sustained impact energy and reliable operation are required. The tool combines rotary drilling, hammer-only chiseling and rotary-hammer modes to cover common professional tasks such as anchor drilling, wall removal and groove chiseling.

Advantages

The brushless motor delivers high efficiency and reduced maintenance compared with brushed designs, while providing consistent power under load. Robust mechanical construction and a well-designed gearbox support high impact energy for effective drilling and chiseling in hard materials. The SDS‑Max tool holder allows fast bit changes and secure retention during heavy-duty work. Built-in features for vibration control and airflow help maintain performance and extend tool life.

Suitable for

• Anchor drilling in concrete and masonry
• Chiseling and removal of wall sections or tiles
• Groove cutting for electrical or plumbing installations
• Light demolition and breaking-out tasks
• Drilling large-diameter holes for services or fixings

Key specifications

• Power: 1500 W brushless motor
• Tool holder: SDS‑Max system for bits and chisels
• Operating modes: rotary hammer, hammer-only (chisel), rotary drilling
• Designed for use in concrete, reinforced concrete and masonry
• Construction: heavy-duty housing and gearbox for professional use

How to use

Select the appropriate SDS‑Max bit or chisel for the task and insert it into the tool holder until it engages. Choose the required operating mode—rotary plus hammer for drilling, hammer-only for chiseling—and set the correct speed or impact setting if available. For drilling, mark the drill position, start at low speed to centre the bit, then increase speed and apply steady pressure without forcing the tool. For chiseling, position the chisel and use controlled strokes, maintaining a stable stance and secure grip. Always follow the tool manufacturer’s instructions for maintenance, lubrication and inspection.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection and dust mask when working with concrete and masonry. Match drill and chisel types to material and hole diameter, and allow the brushless motor to cool under extended heavy load periods. For prolonged or precision work, use suitable supports, guide systems or depth stops to ensure consistent results.
