Makita 18V Brushless 24mm SDS Plus Rotary Hammer Drill Skin DHR242Z

The Makita DHR242Z is an 18V brushless SDS Plus rotary hammer drill designed for demanding drilling and chiselling applications in concrete, steel, and timber. Its brushless DC motor delivers up to 30% greater energy efficiency, while the 3-mode operation — Rotation+Hammering, Hammering Only, and Rotation Only — gives you the versatility to tackle any task on site. The ergonomically designed handle and 40-position bit angle selector ensure comfort and precision across every application.

With a 24mm concrete drilling capacity, 2.0J impact energy, and a variable speed trigger, this drill handles everything from light masonry to heavy-duty anchor installation. The unique rubber joint construction and vibration-absorbing cushion rubbers minimise battery terminal stress and reduce operator fatigue, making it a reliable choice for extended use. Supplied as a skin only — compatible with Makita 18V LXT batteries.
