Functions and applications of the Makita DHR242Z

Three modes for many common tasks

With the Makita DHR242Z you can cover several types of work:

• Drilling in wood and metal with a suitable chuck adapter
• Hammer drilling in concrete and stone via SDS Plus
• Chiselling for light demolition and chasing work

You select the required mode using the function selector switch. This lets you change quickly between drilling, hammer drilling and chiselling without changing the machine.

SDS Plus chuck for quick accessory changes

The SDS Plus chuck holds drill bits and chisels securely in the tool. You change accessories without extra tools, which saves time, especially when you drill many holes with different diameters in one job.

DIY users for remodelling and renovation

Demanding DIY users can also benefit from the Makita DHR242Z. Typical tasks include drilling holes for shelves, kitchen wall units or ceiling spots in concrete and masonry. Thanks to the battery operation you can work in basements, lofts or on balconies where no power outlet is available.

What should you consider when buying?
