Features and benefits at a glance

Brushless motor for efficient runtime

The brushless motor reduces wear inside the tool. Power output stays stable over long periods. At the same time, the motor uses battery energy more efficiently, which helps extend runtime.

SDS Plus chuck for quick bit changes

The SDS Plus chuck allows you to change drill and chisel bits without extra tools. This saves time on the job and makes it easy to switch between different drill diameters.

Compact 18V tool for flexible use

The Makita DHR171RTJ is part of the Makita 18V system. If you already own Makita 18V batteries, you can use them across different tools. This reduces the number of different batteries and chargers in your workshop.

What should you consider before buying?

The impact energy of 1.2 joules is tailored to standard plug sizes and common drill diameters in interior work. For very large holes or very hard concrete, you should add a more powerful hammer drill. For typical daily tasks this set offers a balanced mix of performance, weight and mobility.

If you want a complete kit with two high-capacity batteries, charger and robust Makpac case, the Makita DHR171RTJ is a practical solution for both professional and private use.
