Makita DHR242 18v Brushless SDS+ Rotary Hammer Drill with 2 x 6.0Ah Batteries

Product Information

Easy-to-grip handle ergonomically designed to give maximum power thrust and provide a sure and comfortable grip in any operation

Durability: Use of the brushless DC motor slows the rate of heat production, which in turn reduces the temperature of the drill housing, even during sustained periods of use.

Available kits

The tool body is seperated into the upper and lower housings at the foot of handle portion where the houses are jointed with vibration absorbing cushion rubbers Efficient Brushless DC motor provides higher productivity than that of 18V cordless combination hammer model BHR202 High productivity is achieved by using an efficient Brushless DC motor to reduce energy loss by 30% giving longer run times between battery charges

drill corded Makita HR2470. Did not work so I opened it up and it appeared serviceable and I saw the brushes were floating. I reseated the brushes and the drill now spins up. Not sure what to test now but it maybe useful as maybe a mixer. Stiff operating switch – after a few uses the switch should move freely between the three drilling modes however initially it will require slightly more force than you’d expect Makita DHR242RTJ 18v LXT 24mm SDS+ Plus Brushless Rotary Hammer Drill Inc 2x BL1850B 5.0Ah Batteries, DC18RC Charger and Makpac Type 4 Carry Case drill is a Matika DHR242 . Rotary hammer drill. This one looks more difficult to fix. Firstly it's battery powered but I may have a bench supply but not sure how much current it will want to test it. I opened up the drill and with the brushless motor there wasn't much to service - some electronic gubbins. Higher productivity than model BHR202 achieved by using efficient Brushless DC motor to reduce energy loss by 30%The Makita DHR242Z 18V SDS Plus BL Rotary Hammer Drill Bare Unit is ideal for professional and DIY use. It is a 24mm (15/16") Cordless Combination Hammer powered by an 18V Li-ion Battery. This rotary hammer features an efficient Brushless DC motor which provides higher productivity than that of the 18V DHR202. This hammer drill is able to drill in concrete as fast as the BHR200 24V Cordless Combination Hammer. The ergonomically designed easy-to-grip handle is designed to give maximum power thrust and provide a sure and comfortable grip in any operation, overhead application, drilling with palm-up or palm-down grip as well. The tool body is separated into the upper and lower housings where the houses are joined with vibration absorbing cushion rubbers. Unique rubber joint construction protects the battery terminals from vibration minimising breakage or battery failures.

Makita DHR242

The tool body is separated into the upper and lower housings at the foot of handle portion where the houses are jointed with vibration absorbing cushion rubbers The Makita DHR242 is a lightweight cordless hammer drill for professional purposes that specialises in drilling, hammer drilling and chiselling. Its brushless 18-volt motor not only allows for a more compact design but also increases the service life of the machine by not producing too much heat, thus keeping the device cool and also safe from potential damages that could be caused by friction. It also has a slip clutch that prevents it from jamming under too high a load, which is godsent for stressful work where you would need the machine to operate in an even more stable manner than it normally would. Drill bits and chisels are connected to the hammer drill via an SDS-Plus tool holder. Versatile Usage Efficiency: When Makita’s brushless motor is combined with their 18V Li-Ion battery, use-time is maximised; power is increased and charging time is reduced. Now that’s some seriously efficient energy production! The DHR242 comes with an impact rate that is 4700 blows per minute, while the maximum possible speed reaches to 950 rpm. However, with a 2 J individual impact force, the DHR242 does not achieve the impact force of heavier electric hammer drills with a 230-volt mains supply. The manufacturer specifies a maximum drilling capacity of 24 mm in concrete. Drill diameters of 13 mm are possible in steel and 27 mm in wood. Makita BL1850 B batteries with a capacity of 5 Ah are recommended. DHR242: Price UK Brushless motors: longer battery life, shorter charging time and greater power. What’s not to like?
