The DHR242 is Makita's 18V brushless SDS-Plus rotary hammer, sold here as a kit with two 5.0Ah batteries, a charger and a case. It delivers 2 joules per blow at up to 4,700 blows per minute and 1,100 rpm, which puts it in the light-duty class for drilling anchors and small holes in concrete. The brushless motor, anti-vibration side handle and one-touch bit change are its main selling points against corded SDS drills and cheaper brushed cordless models. It suits trade users already on Makita's 18V platform who want cordless drilling without a cord, but at around 5.5 kg with a battery it is heavy for overhead work.

Owners rate it highly, praising the brushless motor, smooth SDS chuck and the two-battery kit. The main complaints are weight and the limits of 2 joules on tougher concrete.
