Unique rubber joint construction provides protection to the battery terminals by suppressing vibration At the heart of this tool is a brushless motor that allows you to use the drill efficiently. As part of the design, the tool utilizes every bit of battery power when you need, all while reducing the need for ongoing maintenance by reducing the amount of heat generated and working more efficiently.

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. High productivity achieved by using efficient brushless 3-function DC motor to reduce energy loss by 30%, resulting in increased use-time between charges 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 The power generated from this efficient brushless motor causes the DHR242Z to drill as fast or faster than the 24V cordless combination hammer model into concrete for higher productivity andreduces energy loss by 30%. 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 rubbersThe Makita DHR242 18V LXT Brushless SDS+ Drill from ITScomes with 3 mode function: Rotary only, Rotary Hammer and Chisel action (hammer only).

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. The tool body is separated into the upper and lower housings at the foot of handle portion where the housings are jointed with vibration absorbing cushion rubbers

Versatile Usage

Provides a sure and comfortable grip in any operation; overhead application, drilling with palm-up or palm-down grip Producing an impressive 2.0J impact power, 4700bpm, 950rpm no load speed, drilling up to max in concrete 24mm, max in steel 13mmand max drillingin wood 27mm. 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.

Ergonomic handle provides a sure and comfortable grip in any operation including overhead applications and drilling with palm-up or palm-down grip High productivity is achieved by using an efficient Brushless DC motor to reduce energy loss by 30% giving longer run times between battery charges 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 efficient brushless motor on this 18V SDS drill ensures greater productivity for the completion of tough tasks Split tool body into the upper and lower housings, jointed with vibration absorbing cushion rubbers

Available options

Higher productivity than model BHR202 achieved by using efficient Brushless DC motor to reduce energy loss by 30% Brushless motors: longer battery life, shorter charging time and greater power. What’s not to like? Brushless motors key benefits 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 The tool body is separated into the upper and lower housings at the foot of the handle portion where the housings are jointed with vibration absorbing cushion rubbers 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

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. Makita claims their Li-Ion batteries offer unbeatable performance and functionality when compared to Ni-Cad or Ni-MH batteries. 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.

The innovative design of Makita’s brushless motor is engineered to be up to 50% more efficient than a comparative model. A fully charged 18v Li-Ion battery will last longer and charge faster – lasting almost twice as long as it would if used alongside a standard brush motor. 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 Efficient Brushless DC motor provides higher productivity than that of 18V cordless combination hammer model BHR202 Practicality: The electronically-controlled 18V brushless motor in the Makita DHR242 uses energy efficiently to match the torque and RPM output to the changing demands of the application.
