Makita DHR242Z 18V 24mm Brushless SDS+ Rotary Hammer (Body Only)

The Makita DHR242Z 18V 24mm Brushless SDS+ Rotary Hammer (Body Only) is a cordless combination hammer designed for fast, controlled drilling and light chiselling in concrete, masonry, steel and wood within the cordless SDS+ hammer drills category.

Three operating modes - rotation only, hammering only, and rotation with hammering - provide flexibility for anchor fixing, chasing and general construction work, while the variable speed trigger and 0-950 rpm no load speed support precise hole starting and clean finishes. Vibration absorbing cushion rubbers, a rubber joint protecting the battery terminals and an easy-to-grip ergonomic handle help improve comfort and durability during extended professional use. Supplied as a bare unit with side handle and depth stop, the DHR242Z is compatible with all Makita 18V LXT batteries and optional dust extraction systems.

  • Brushless 18V motor delivers efficient power for demanding SDS+ rotary hammer applications in concrete, masonry, steel and wood
  • 3-mode operation (rotation only, hammering only, rotation with hammering) allows versatile use across drilling, hammer drilling and light chiselling tasks
  • One touch slide chuck for SDS-Plus bits enables quick, secure bit changes to keep work flowing smoothly on site
  • Optimised vibration absorbing construction with cushion rubbers helps reduce user fatigue during extended drilling sessions
  • Unique rubber joint between tool and battery minimises vibration transfer to battery terminals to help maximise service life
  • Variable speed trigger and up to 0-950 rpm no load speed give precise control when starting holes or working in delicate materials
  • High impact rate up to 0-4700 blows per minute with 2.0 J impact energy provides fast drilling performance in concrete up to 24 mm
  • Ergonomic soft-grip handle and side handle offer secure, comfortable control in overhead, horizontal and vertical drilling positions
  • Compact LXT body only design integrates seamlessly with existing Makita 18V LXT batteries for a flexible cordless kit
