Description
Overview:
The Connecting Rod 451834-8 is a genuine Makita OEM component that links the drive mechanism to the striker assembly inside the hammer drill, keeping the impact action smooth and consistent. Built from durable, hardened metal with a machined finish, it is designed to handle repeated load cycles in demanding use. This rod restores correct motion transfer and helps protect other internal parts from premature wear. It is specifically engineered for Makita hammer drills, including the HM1101C and HM1111C, ensuring proper fit and alignment without guesswork. Ideal as a like-for-like replacement when the original rod shows signs of fatigue, excessive play, or impact loss, this part supports reliable performance on site and in the workshop, whether you are a tradesperson or a DIY user.
