Milwaukee 5Kg Class Drilling And Breaking Hammer K540S

A brilliant 5kg rotary and demolition hammer. Milwaukee Kanga 540s – The Kanga 540S, 1100 watt, 7.5j, 5kg class hammer is now superseded. I bought mine about 2 years ago as a last of stock offer. As an SDS MAX hammer It has proven to be excellent, it is the only Milwaukee tool I own, as a corded unit I’m not dependent upon batteries. It was great value at the end of line slow sale, and although at the time I didn’t have a particular need for it the value and performance of the unit was outstanding

As the only SDS MAX Rotary hammer I have it has proven to be invaluable. Easily able to drill into rock hard concrete with drill bits up to 32 mm which is the biggest I’ve needed to use, I have a preference for 4 cutter carbide tipped bits by Bosch and Milwaukee which have proven to be outstandingly efficient at what they do. I also have a range of additional max bits, shovels breakers chisels etc and this unit handles them all with ease. The unit wires around 6 kg plus The drill bit, and while at times after hours on and off of work it may get a little heavy as I am not a big fellow, The heavy duty punch this unit can deliver is well above its weight burden and therefore provides an outstanding weight versus delivery impact benefit.

The unit has proved to be reliable, comfortable has good vibration absorption and is safe to handle, as it is fitted with the usual up-to-date safety features.

While the unit has now been superseded by the 545 S, which in my opinion would just continue the high quality of the 540S, with just a bit more power and a bit more capacity, I believe any purchaser of this unit would be well impressed.

I have a number of Bosch corded SDS plus hammer drills which include the Bosch GBH 4 – 32 DFR, which has been my go to unit for many years when extra heavy duty was needed, the 540 S provided me a further step up in power and a step up in drill bit fitment e.g. SDS MAX, and I have found that generally the quality and reliability that I treasure in my Bosch SDS plus units has been mirrored by the 540S And I have been very impressed with its capacity and Robust design, And for me that’s a real compliment to it. I did get the unit at a very much reduced price however I feel after some period of ownership and use It would be good value even at its retail price which at the time would’ve been in the region of $840. So well done 540 S.
