Makita DHR242Z 18V Brushless SDS Plus Rotary Hammer Drill – Skin Only

When the job calls for serious drilling power, the Makita DHR242Z is the rotary hammer that delivers. Built tough with a brushless motor for more power and longer runtimes, this SDS Plus hammer drill gives you the muscle to take on concrete, masonry, steel, and timber with ease.

With its 3-mode operation – (Rotation + Hammering, Hammer only, or Rotation only) – this tool adapts to whatever the site throws at you. Whether you’re smashing through concrete, chiselling tiles, or drilling clean anchor holes, the DHR242Z does it all with precision and less fatigue.

The ergonomic grip and vibration-absorbing design mean more comfort on long jobs, while the 40-position chisel rotation system ensures you can always get the perfect working angle. Add Makita’s unique rubber joint construction, which protects your battery terminals from vibration damage, and you’ve got a tool built to last.
