Makita DHR242 Cordless Hammer Drill (SDS-Plus)

The Makita DHR242 is an 18-volt SDS-Plus hammer drill that drills into concrete, brick, and stone where a regular drill would only polish the surface – its 2 joules of impact energy sinks an 8 mm anchor hole into a concrete wall in seconds. Three operating modes cover drilling, hammer drilling, and light chiseling, so with the same machine, you can attach shelves to a concrete wall, drill through-holes, and remove a couple of tiles. A brushless motor and vibration damping make the work controlled, and SDS bits change in seconds without keys. As a cordless tool, it also works where there's no power outlet – in an apartment building stairwell, at a cottage, or by a garden wall. When you encounter a concrete wall, this is the right machine.
