Our take on the Makita DHR243ZJ Cordless Rotary Hammer

The DHR243 is Makita's 18V brushless SDS-plus rotary hammer, sold as a bare tool in a MAKPAC case. It delivers 2.0 joules per blow at up to 4,700 blows per minute and drills up to 27 mm in wood, which puts it near the top of the one-battery 18V class. The quick-change chuck lets it switch between SDS-plus bits and standard round-shank bits without a second tool. It suits tradespeople and serious DIYers already on Makita's 18V LXT batteries; anyone starting from scratch must budget for batteries and a charger, and at 3.4 kg it is heavier than compact 18V hammers.

Best forMakita 18V LXT owners wanting one hammer for drilling and light chippingDrilling anchor and plug holes in concrete and masonryMixed jobs needing SDS-plus and standard bits without swapping toolsSite work where a case and cordless freedom matter
Pros
  • 2.0 J impact energy is strong for an 18V one-battery hammer
  • Brushless motor for longer runtime and less maintenance
  • Quick-change chuck takes SDS-plus and round-shank bits
  • Electronic brake stops the bit quickly
  • Ships in a stackable MAKPAC case
  • Three modes: drilling, impact drilling and chipping
Cons
  • Bare tool: no battery or charger included
  • 3.4 kg is heavy for overhead or one-handed work
  • 353 mm long, so tight spaces are awkward
  • Not a match for corded SDS-plus hammers on heavy concrete

Questions and answers

Does it come with a battery and charger?
No. It is a bare tool in a MAKPAC case, so you need Makita 18V LXT batteries and a charger, or a kit version.
What size holes can it drill?
It handles up to 27 mm in wood and is rated for typical anchor and plug sizes in concrete; check the bit shank is SDS-plus.
Can it chip and chisel?
Yes. It has a chipping mode alongside drilling and impact drilling, though it is a light demolition tool rather than a full breaker.
Does it take normal drill bits?
Yes. The quick-change chuck accepts round-shank bits as well as SDS-plus, so you can switch between masonry and wood or metal bits.
Is it worth it over a corded hammer?
For site work and jobs away from power it is; for long runs of heavy concrete drilling a corded SDS-plus hammer still wins on sustained power.
How heavy is it?
About 3.4 kg, which is on the heavy side for an 18V rotary hammer.
