Product Description

Makita DHR242Z 18V Brushless 24mm SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer (Skin) – Power Tool Accessories

Execute highly aggressive, rapid concrete penetration and effortlessly chip away dense masonry completely off the electrical grid with the immensely formidable Makita DHR242Z 18V Brushless 24mm SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer. In the demanding commercial construction, plumbing, and electrical sectors, utilizing standard hammer drills to bore large anchor holes into old, cured concrete is a massive liability; they vibrate violently, overheat quickly, and drastically slow down worksite productivity. This professional-grade power tool accessory provides the ultimate, high-efficiency mechanical solution. Engineered with a highly sophisticated Brushless (BL) DC motor, it completely eliminates internal carbon friction, delivering a massive 2.0 Joules of impact energy to crush solid stone instantly while maximizing the runtime of the 18V battery.

Designed for absolute worksite supremacy and unparalleled operator ergonomics, the Makita DHR242Z operates on the universal Makita 18V LXT platform. It features an advanced 3-mode operation system—allowing users to switch seamlessly between 'Rotation Only' for drilling steel, 'Hammer with Rotation' for boring concrete, and 'Hammer Only' for light chiseling and tile removal. Heavily equipped with a unique rubber joint construction that actively suppresses violent recoil vibrations from reaching the battery terminals, and a one-touch sliding SDS-Plus chuck, these elite industrial cleaning tools and construction drives provide tradespeople with an indispensable, virtually indestructible asset for executing heavy-duty structural work safely and efficiently.

Who Is The Makita 18V Brushless Rotary Hammer Ideal For?

The Makita DHR242Z delivers a massive 2.0J impact force, an efficient brushless motor, and a highly versatile 3-mode gearbox. It is highly recommended for:

Electricians & Plumbers: Utilizing a highly robust, cordless power tool accessory to safely and rapidly penetrate dense concrete ceilings and double-brick walls to install heavy conduits and pipe brackets in commercial high-rises.
Commercial Construction & Formworkers: Relying on the 24mm masonry capacity. The drill effortlessly powers massive SDS-Plus masonry bits deep into cured concrete slabs for installing heavy-duty structural chemical anchors and dynabolts all day long.
Commercial Tilers & Renovators: Taking absolute advantage of the 'Hammer Only' chiseling mode. Tradespeople can instantly lock a flat chisel bit into the chuck and rapidly strip old ceramic tiles and stubborn tile glue directly off bathroom walls and floors.
Facility OH&S Managers: Deploying premium industrial cleaning tools and hardware equipped with advanced vibration suppression. The ergonomic, rubberized handle and isolated battery joint drastically reduce the physical fatigue and severe 'white-finger' nerve damage caused by prolonged drilling.

Key Features and Performance Benefits:

Massive 2.0 Joules of Impact Energy: The ultimate structural advantage. Standard drills just spin; this rotary hammer uses a pneumatic piston to violently punch the drill bit forward 4,700 times a minute, physically crushing the concrete ahead of the bit for effortless, rapid hole boring.
Advanced Brushless (BL) Motor: Ensures long-term commercial reliability. By eliminating traditional carbon brushes, the motor runs significantly cooler under heavy loads, generates massive torque, and extracts up to 30% more runtime from the 18V battery compared to brushed equivalents.
Versatile 3-Mode Operation: Maximizes worksite efficiency. A heavy-duty dial allows you to select 'Hammer Only' (for chipping tiles), 'Rotation Only' (for drilling wood or steel), or 'Rotation & Hammer' (for boring concrete), giving you three dedicated machines in one compact body.
One-Touch SDS-Plus Chuck: Prioritizes operator convenience. You do not need a chuck key. You simply push the grooved SDS-Plus masonry bit straight into the chuck with one hand, and it automatically locks securely into place, saving crucial seconds on the jobsite.
Chisel Angle Positioning Mechanism: Delivers unyielding worksite versatility. When using a flat chisel bit, you can rotate the chuck a full 360 degrees and lock it securely into 40 different positions. This allows you to scrape tiles off a wall from the absolute perfect ergonomic angle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'Skin Only' or 'Tool Only' mean?

In the power tool industry, 'Skin Only' means the box contains the DHR242Z Rotary Hammer, the side grip handle, and the depth gauge, but it DOES NOT include the 18V lithium-ion battery or the wall charger. Those must be purchased separately.

What is the difference between a standard Hammer Drill and a 'Rotary Hammer'?

A standard hammer drill uses two spinning, ribbed metal discs to create a light vibration. A 'Rotary Hammer' uses an actual pneumatic piston cylinder (like a mini jackhammer) to violently punch the drill bit forward, providing massively superior concrete-crushing power.

Can I use standard round drill bits in this machine?

No. This machine features an 'SDS-Plus' chuck. It only accepts specialized SDS-Plus drill bits and chisels, which feature deep grooves on the shank that lock securely into the chuck to prevent them from slipping under extreme torque.

How do I drill into wood or metal with this?

You switch the dial to 'Rotation Only' mode. To use standard round drill bits for wood or metal, you must purchase a separate 'SDS-to-Standard Chuck Adaptor', which clicks into the SDS slot and gives you a normal twistable chuck.

What does 'Brushless Motor' mean?

Traditional drill motors use small carbon brushes that physically rub against the spinning center, creating massive friction, heat, and battery drain. A brushless motor uses magnets. It runs cooler, lasts significantly longer, and provides up to 30% more battery runtime.

Can I use this machine to jackhammer a concrete driveway?

Absolutely NOT. While it features a 'Hammer Only' mode, this is a 2.0 Joule, lightweight 18V drill designed for light chipping, removing ceramic wall tiles, and chasing out mortar joints. Attempting to break up massive concrete slabs will instantly destroy the internal gearbox.

What is the 'Unique Rubber Joint' for?

A rotary hammer vibrates violently. Over time, this vibration shakes the heavy battery, damaging the metal connection terminals. Makita engineered a specialized rubber suspension joint that completely isolates the battery from the motor, ensuring the electrical connections survive the extreme vibration.

What is the 'Torque Limiter' (Clutch)?

This is a critical OH&S safety feature. If you are drilling a massive hole and the bit suddenly jams on reinforced steel rebar inside the concrete, the clutch instantly disengages the motor drive, preventing the drill from violently twisting and breaking your wrist.

How do I change the angle of my flat chisel bit?

Turn the mode selection dial to the 'O' (neutral) position. You can then physically grab the flat chisel bit and rotate it 360 degrees to find the perfect scraping angle. Turn the dial back to 'Hammer Only' to lock the bit into one of the 40 secure positions.

Does it have a depth gauge?

Yes. It comes with a solid metal rod (depth gauge) that slides into the side handle assembly. You lock it at a specific length so that when the rod hits the wall, you know the hole is exactly deep enough for your chemical anchor.

Is this machine heavy to hold overhead?

For a heavy-duty rotary hammer, 3.3kg (including the battery) is exceptionally lightweight. The balanced, ergonomic D-handle design significantly reduces the physical leverage strain, making it much easier to drill into ceilings compared to older, bulky corded models.

Do you offer trade pricing for construction companies?

Yes, Freshway Supplies provides highly competitive volume pricing and trade accounts for commercial builders, electricians, plumbers, and facility managers ordering bulk power tool accessories. Contact us to establish your account.
