Description
Overview:
The Makita Piston 450961-8 is a genuine replacement component for selected Makita hammer drills and demolition hammers. Manufactured from hardened steel for high impact resistance, it is designed to transfer driving force within the percussion mechanism, restoring consistent striking power when the original piston is worn or damaged. Precision-machined to OEM specification, it helps maintain correct clearances and smooth movement under heavy loads. Suitable for demanding site and workshop use, it supports efficient operation and extended service life of compatible machines. Ideal for models such as HMJ1203 and HMJJ213, this piston offers reliable compatibility, dependable performance, and straightforward replacement when used in line with the tool's service manual. OEM reference: 450961-8.
