Product Description
Makita DHR243Z 18V LXT 24mm Brushless SDS+ Rotary Hammer (Body Only)
The Makita DHR243Z 18V LXT 24mm Brushless SDS+ Rotary Hammer (Body Only) is a cordless combination hammer designed for professional drilling and chiselling in concrete, masonry, steel and timber within the SDS+ rotary hammer drills category. Powered by Makita's 18V LXT Li-Ion battery system and an efficient brushless motor, it delivers up to 2.0 J of impact energy and 4,700 blows per minute, allowing it to drill in concrete as fast as larger corded alternatives. Three operating modes - rotation only, hammering only and rotation with hammering - make it suitable for tasks ranging from fixing anchors and conduit to light chiselling and chasing. The quick change chuck system accepts both SDS+ bits and standard straight shank drill bits, while the variable speed trigger and ergonomic, vibration-absorbing body help maintain control and comfort during extended use. Supplied as a body-only unit, the Makita DHR243Z includes a side handle and depth stop, ready to pair with existing Makita 18V LXT batteries and chargers.
