The Makita DHR171Z is a compact 18V LXT brushless SDS-Plus rotary hammer drill engineered for fixing, anchoring and light masonry work in tight spaces. The brushless motor delivers longer runtime and lower maintenance compared with brushed equivalents, and the short-framed body keeps the tool easy to manoeuvre when working overhead or in confined areas.
Key Features
- Brushless, maintenance-free motor for extended runtime and tool life
- SDS-Plus tool holder for fast, tool-free bit changes
- Two operating modes: rotation only and rotation with hammering
- 17mm maximum drilling capacity in concrete with 1.2 J of impact energy
- Variable speed trigger with constant speed control under load
- Electric brake stops the bit quickly when the trigger is released
- Forward and reverse rotation for backing out bits
- Vibration-absorbing handle housing reduces operator fatigue
- Compact, short-framed body for overhead and confined-space work
- Battery protection circuit guards against overload, over-discharge and overheating
Typical Applications
- Drilling anchor and fixing holes in concrete up to 17mm
- Installing sockets, brackets and conduit on first-fix electrical work
- Light masonry and brickwork drilling
- Pilot holes in steel up to 10mm with a chuck adaptor
- Drilling in wood up to 13mm with a chuck adaptor
- First-fix plumbing and HVAC installation
- Maintenance and snagging work where a compact SDS-Plus is needed
