Makita DHR242Z 18V Li-ion LXT Brushless Rotary Hammer – No batteries included
Brushless, Cordless 24mm Combination Hammer Drill, SDS Plus Bits
The DHR242Z is a lightweight, cordless 3 mode rotary hammer. The brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and rpm to the changing demand of the application, and eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the motor to run cooler and efficiently for longer life. Features mode operation for rotation only, hammering with rotation or hammering only. The torque limiting clutch is engineered to prevent gear damage by automatically disengaging gears if the bit binds.
Unique rubber joint construction suppresses the transmission of vibration to battery terminals, minimising battery failures such as terminal breakage or poor electrical contact.

Light and powerful.
Great value, drills through red brick walls like butter. The hammer action for the chisels is great, it’s accurate and powerful, the fact that the drill is much lighter than other sds drills I’ve used means it’s easy to aim and weald for long periods.
Powerful
Incredible drill. This will eat through your walls. This angled version of the horizontal motor style is much easier to handle . The 18v brushless does sound strange, different to my brushed tools, but is much easier to use than a corded tool. You will also be more likely to use it than just reach for the combi. Buy one.
Very powerful drill. Went through a granite block like it was a house brick. Very impressive.
Lois good so fa
Haven’t used it for any serious work yet but looks good and has good build constructio
Espectacula
Que decir de la marca……este aparato pensaba que con la batera de 18v no seria muy potente, pero vaya sorpreson. He podido picar en hormigon y hacer una pequea zanja para pasar unos tubos en el jardn….cumple por encima de las expectativas.
Perfect for do it yourselfers!
I use this drill 3 times a week for about some months now and it still works well.
This drill is light and perfect for 4cm,5cm,6cm,8cm holes. There is not too much noise. Delivery was fast. So the perfect tool for handyman like me, but maybe not for a great pro!
works grea
he drill is very good, nothing to complain of.
i bought (separately) a 5A battery, works like a dream.
if you are not familiarized with Makita i recommend reading the instructions first.
This a brute!!
I like everything about this drill. It is excellent as drill, hammer drill and breaker.
Its not cheap but by goodness it’s powerful. I was sick of struggling to drill holes in masonry but this tears through it.
Outstanding quality tool
This hammerdrill is beyond my expectations! Very powerful, I even use 8 mm sds drill and it easily goes into the concrete without any struggle. Definitely worth the investment, as it is an essential tool for any ceiling fixer.
Brilliant sds drill
Brilliant sds drill. I do a lot of chasing for switches/sockets and this drill is fantastic for it. Beats most if not all others
Great tool
Joiner my self and it is miles better than DeWalt if your like me comparing, very powerful great for site happy custome
Excellent value!
So far it does the job, no problems whatsoever. I did used it with 5.5, 6 and 12 bits for concrete slab. I bought a vacuum cleaner as well and I must say that drilling in the slab ceiling without mask is not a problem any more. No dust to breath in anymore :).
good Quality Sturdy
Like this tough Hammer Drill Superb and reliable for tough Diy Jobs, Will break concrete and drill concrete! with ease.
Great power long lasting batteries.
Great powerful drill for 6mm and 8mm holes.Makita or nothing
Excellent hammer drill!
I use this drill on daily basis and I can’t fault it. I use it for chiselling our walls to fit back boxes and chasing cables in as well as using the hammer drill for holes up to 20mm. It’s excellent and I can’t fault it.
I was a bit doubtful because of complaints about the function selector being stiff and there being no safety catch.
However when it arrived I found there IS a safety catch (the direction switch is also safety in the middle position).
I did find the selector would not go into hammerless drill position but then I READ THE MANUAL!! It clearly says if difficult to move, do not force it, leave in the rotary hammer position and run the drill for a few seconds. Sure enough, 5 seconds run, switch off and the lever slid easily into hammerless position.
The one review I have found correct is regarding a wobbly chuck. But it didn’t stop me drilling an accurate hole – pressed the bit where I wanted to start and the wobble didn’t show up.
[Edit: I found this in the manual, so no problem here: NOTE:
Eccentricity in the bit rotation may occur while operating
the tool with no load. The tool automatically centers itself
during operation. This does not affect the drilling
precision.]
So far, excellent, goes through concrete blocks easily, plenty of power and Oh! The freedom from a cord! I wonder how often my De Walt corded SDS will see use now?
Possiedo molti attrazzi makita 18V ma questo tasselatore mi ha stupito per la sua forza, io non vedo quasi differenze con il mio tasselatore elettrico da 650 watt. Per i piccoli lavori ormai uso sempre e solo lui anche se ho la corrente vicino.
Fori del 20 su cemento fatti tranquillamente e anche la percussione per demolire va che una bellezza. Lo uso anche montando una frusta per impastare dentro i secchi intonaco – m30- cemento con sabbia e non noto soffenze o cali di forza.
Io lo promuovo al massimo dei voti, l’unico difetto che li trovo il tasto troppo sensibile ed difficile tenerlo a bassa velocita. Se vi serve un tasselatore a batteria ma avevate dubbi che essendo a batteria sia una mazza fregatura in quanto a forza allora compratelo senza problemi che vi far innamorare.

Got some grunt.
Switched to cordless lot easier than dragging 110 Leads about ? Seem to be a bit toy like but it’s far from it, got some grunt, proper hard concrete no probs.
Brilliant tool
Brilliant tool, wondering why I waited so long to purchase one!
On est la dans du matriel trs srieux ! J’ai perfor la pierre, le bton comme dans du beurre, coupl avec une batterie de 4 ampres, cet appareil est redoutable de puissance et de precision, j’ai t trs tonn d’avoir autant de jus dispo pour travailler et tout ca sans fil le rve..
Obwohl das Bohrfutter sehr schnell kaputt gegangen ist (Amazon hat sofort ein Ersatzgert geschickt! -Super!) kann ich nur sagen: Das Gert ist eine Offenbarung! Meinen Metabo-Schlagbohrer kann man im Vergleich in die Tonne treten. Mit dem Makita dauert eine 10cm tiefe 10mm-Bohrung in Backstein 1,5 Sekunden whrend man mit dem Metabo drckt und schwitzt.
Ich entferne grade Glasbausteine und bin einfach nur hin und weg. Und auch zum SDS-System: Nie wieder will ich etwas anderes benutzen mssen!
great sds from Makita bags off hammer the only criticism I’ve found it gets very hot when doing a bit off chopping out is it because there really sealed for dust , water ,great for the money and seen a lot on sites used and abused and they take i
Excellent, Excelle
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent. Always used an electric Makita SDS drill, however after using this for drilling, chasing and removing plaster from the walls it is superb and gives so much more freedom when using compared to a tethered cable. Go get one.
Light but oh so powerful
Really powerful machine and so light too, drills through stone easily, youve got to have one
Amazing!!
This is the best drill I’ve ever used! Not too heavy and has all functions that you need to drill!
... few sds drills and this is by far the best one!
ive brought a fair few sds drills and this is by far the best one!! buy now you will not regret it!!
Top quality great price
Top quality as you would expect from Makita along with a great price
Prodotto eccellente di Makita, do il massimo dei voti vuoi per la potenza della macchina in se ( con punta SDS di 16 mm fora il C.A. molto velocemente ) sia per il ridotto ritorno di vibrazioni rispetto ad altri trapani / tassellatori a percussione dello stesso segmento.
Si tiene bene in posizione di lavoro grazie alle comode maniglie gommose e al peso abbastanza contenuto, e la funzione solo percussione permette di abbattere sezioni importanti di manufatti anche in calcestruzzo .
Lo consiglierei a chi,come me,non ne fa un uso intensivo e continuato,ma solo perch alimentato a batteria ( con quella da 5 Ah si pu lavorare abbastanza a lungo senza sensibili cali di prestazione) e nel caso si posseggano pi batterie ( utili comunque su gran parte della gamma Makita tools vista l’interoperabilit ) anche a professionisti in cerca di un utensile dalle prestazioni elevate ad un prezzo abbastanza pi basso rispetto ad altri produttori.

Small yet powerful
Updated review- drill seems smaller than expected but just as powerful, only gripe is that the selector jams and you need to rotate the chuck to make a selection, at first I thought it was faulty but this is apparently the norm

excellent drill!
Beast of a drill flys through walls with a quality bit, I mainly use for heating installs from hanging rads and boilers with a 7mm bit to gas pipework with a 30mm bit , excellent drill !
Der Borhammer von Makita hat meine Erwartungen echt bertroffen. Bei der Sanierung unserer Wohnung arbeiteten wir parallel zu den Elektrikern und hatten somit keinen Strom in der Wohnung. Der Bohrhammer verfgt ber einen starken 18V 6.0Ah Lithium-Ion Akku, damit waren pro Arbeitseinheit lediglich zwei Akkus erforderlich. Der Bohrhammer ist auf jeden Fall stark genug, um die Fliesen von der Wand purzeln zu lassen und hat uns dabei wirklich begeistert. Werde mir noch weitere Werkzeuge der gleichen Marke kaufen und dann immer die gleichen Akkus verwenden. Klare Kaufempfehlung und somit 5 Sterne!!
Much better than I expected
Have only used it for a few hours so far. Much better than I expected, and I had high expectations.
Great drill, bought as a bare unit as I have plenty of batteries. Gives a lot more flexibility than a corded sds drill . However if you use as a chisel a lot you will need plenty of batteries.
Solide Makitaqualitt allerdings kann man das Gert in Deutschland nicht bei Makita registrieren lassen und somit keine Garantieverlngerung bekommen. Da fragt man sich warum Amazon diese Maschine vertreibt. Die Baugleiche Maschine allerdings ohne Wechselfutter lautet in Deutschland DHR 243.

Very pleased with this hammer drill and at a good price
If I had a hammer! I'd hammer all day.
Wow! I bought this drill recently (not from Amazon) to help build a raised deck for a friend.
There were quite a few beams that needed to be mounted to brickwork so I wanted something that could confidently do the job (ok ok I confess, I wanted an excuse to add to my Makita collection!).
The drill with the bargain priced Makita bit set (Just under 25 from Amazon in a posh metal case!) is a joy to use.
Naturally it will drill through brickwork in a way that would please even the Hatton Garden thieves.
The feature that REALLY impressed me though is the hammer only function.
I needed to remove quite a bit of textured fake stone render to give the decking a secure and smooth surface to mount to. The one inch chisel in the Makita set decimated all the concrete that got in its way. The unit passes very little vibration back to the user.
Battery life is managable. If you have a spare battery then the charger will just about charge one battery as fast as you are draining the other!
You would have to be doing a lot of drilling to need anything bigger than a 3Ah battery. I have a 3Ah, a 4Ah and a no name chinese Makita clone battery and all three gave plenty of life on this drill. Highly recomennded and has paid for itself in one job because of the time and hassle it saved (I would have spent a day with a bolster chisel if I had not had this.

I have used to drill holes on the concrete, rip out tiles. I was very surprised how powerful is. I never thought a cordless drill to be so strong.
Just simply Superb!!!
Superb.. a life saver for me… Can’t do with out it..
Saves burning out my cordless Makita drill.
Good price at the time. Battery pack also a good deal. SDS makes all the difference on brick or concrete.
Der absolute Hammer. Das Wechselspannfutter ist einfach zu wechseln und das Gert leistet z.B. in der Stemmfunktion eine saubere Leistung. Dass der Akku leicht locker sitzt ist normal. Es soll laut hersteller beim Hammmerstemmen die Vibrationsbertragung auf den Akku reduzieren.

I’m in the building trade and bought this to get around a job with no power on a site. It has been amazing I’ve had it for two months and it takes everything in its stride. There is now power to the site but this is still my go to sds. A couple of lads on site have used it then gone and bought one on the back of this. Tip top drill.
De momento una maquina espectacular, tiene mucha fuerza, es perfecta para taladrar en paredes de hormign. 100 x100 recomendable para esos trabajos que se les suele resistir a mquinas ms pequeas.
Excellent produc
Great drill it has made easy going to anything I have had to drill especially the Red Brick I have in my house which my normal masonry drills were struggling with.

Great drill. Great power lightweight, best cordless sds I have had
Prior to this I had a really good 18v Cordless Hammer Drill and on the odd occasion I struggled to drill into Concrete/lintels etc. Plus the motor on it was gradually diminishing.
This drill blew me away at how easy it drills into any surface. it is amazing and terrific value at this price. Keep in mind that it only takes SDS drill bits, your standard types ones will not fit.

This piece of kit is a bit of a lump, but crikey! It sure gets the job done. I used mine to break up the concrete around a fence post recently (I know, naughty!) and I’ve got to say I was impressed. My son who is a electrician uses the same model, if he reckons it’s brilliant it must be, he’s a fussier bloke than me!
Another very good BL cordless tool from Makita. Made in China (wish they were still made in Japan like the bulletproof BHP451 I have
which is still going strong). The mode selector is incredibly stiff out of the box. Ergonomics are fantastic.
Fantastic bit of kit, light but very powerful and very versatile, drills through concrete like butter
also bought a Makita set of SDS drills and chisels to go with it, and a 6ah battery so I don’t have to worry about running out of charge on a day
I bought this drill to replace my corded Bosch sds. I can honestly say that it is one of the best drills I have ever bought. It’s lightweight and small so easy for use in small compact areas. Don’t think twice about buying one!
Fantastic cordless sds at a great price.
A joy to use. It’s not quite got the guts of my corded sds, but up a ladder or away from a power point it’s a winner. Perfect for quick sinking of smallish fixings for battens, shelves whatever. Recommended.

Very good quality and powerfull. Hoping to buy dust extractor attachement model dx01 to this drill in the future.
Very powerful for a cordless , haven’t bought an sds since it was 24v , now 18v lithium has replaced all that. Very happy with this , I’m a sparkie and first job I used was to drill through two skins for an outside light and it didn’t break a sweat ! Typical makita quality

Excellent piece of kid, very power, got through our solid stone walls like a knife through butter. Have rated it 4 because there is no safety catch on trigger, which I few to be a fault to be aware of – it is easy to trigger when picking up.

Serious bit of kit. Better that the 110v equivalent.have a 4ah batery on it and it goes for days in the plumbing game on a charge. Very impressive and value for money.
I had serious reservations about purchasing a battery powered SDS Drill as in my mind it couldn’t possibly perform as well as the mains powered version but decided to give it a go as I have a few other Makita 18v cordless items and they have all been excellent.
I needn’t have worried as this drill is an absolute BEAST and just ploughs through anything you point it at!
If, like me you are in 2 minds about buying one, go for it, you won’t be disappointed!
Top machine !
Top machine, drills easy even in concrete pillars whilst my other (smaller) battery drills have problems…
Used it a lot over the last few weeks and I'm very happy with this purchase

As described, boxed and powerful as ever, very pleased so far.
This SDS drill packs as much power as my Bosch Pro 220V model. The battery last plenty long enough too and with no cable to get in the way it makes working so much faster. Great stuff Makita.
A good drill for medium to harder surfaces
A good drill for medium to harder surfaces.
I’ve found it very helpful up to a point but for concrete, 25 mm SDS bits are laborious.
Dont know how I survived this long without it. Effortless drilling through concrete. Flippin aesome
Just buy one!
You won’t be disappointed. Just as good as my corded dewal
If you could only have 1 tool, this would be a contender!
I’ve been using my “master’s” one of these for a while and it just does anything you ask of it. It makes light work of any task in brick and does a job on concrete too, whether drilling small holes or chiselling/chasing. People tell me corded tools are a lot more powerful, but I find this stacks up quite well against the couple of corded SDS drills I’ve used by Bosch and Makita. The may well have an edge in power, but any difference in power for my uses, is easily outweighed by the convenience and manouverability of being cordless. I’ve just ordered one of these for myself as I can’t imagine there are many better drills out there for the money. Really looking forward to using a brand new one!
Double good

Immense piece of kit very happy with it. Having heavily used for nearly two months I cannot fault this drill never let me down once, been used for hanging boilers, radiators drilling condensate holes through solid brick walls flies through effortlessly. This is a must buy from a happy tradesma
I bought one that suffered from “Chuck Wobble” (not a 1990’s Rapper, but a chuck that is out of line), resulting in long drill bits wobbling at the tip by about an inch. Hopeless if you are attempting to drill a neat hole.
I called Makita and they assured me that it was not a common problem, so I called Amazon and they replaced the drill for a new one which works fine. This is why I shop with Amazon.
So I would recommend checking for chuck wobble with a new long drill bit before use. Insert a long drill bit, sit the drill on a flat surface, pull the trigger a little and watch the tip of the drill bit as it turns slowly. A little movement is inevitable, but if there is excessive play then I would return it as soon as possible, before it has been used in walls etc so it is clean and as new, so no blame can be put on you.
So, a good tool, but Makita need to improve their quality checks, I don’t want to have to waste my time doing it for them.

Fantastic replacement to a a Hitachi drill I’ve had for years. Took a long time to try and find a replacement and I’m glad I bought this one.
This is a brilliant machine. I had a mains powered Makita SDS drill that I had brought about a year before this one, and I would say that this is easily as good, if not better than that. I am a tradesman so when this gets used, it is put through it’s paces.
This is a real hammer drill , it goes through brick and stone like butter , way faster than normal drill/drivers , and the hammer only mode is as powerful as a 230V SDS drill.

This sds drill is the business, I used it to fit 6 lengths of 4.2m skirting boards, no problem and the battery lasted all day!!
Excellent tool, I’ve just drilled some holes in a granite wall, no need toaim for the joints, this beauty went through the lot as easily as wood.
must be the best 18v sds on market performs as good if not better than larger sds I have used and great price
his drill is a monster but a compact one, works for ages on one charge have chisseled for hours in a row and smelt the motor but it just kept hammering, 2 batteries kept it running all day. definatly buy this if you have the batterys allready. it outdid my co workers corded dewalt sds plus in all areas.
