Makita DHR242 18v LXT Cordless SDS Plus Drill and DX06 Dust Attachment
The Makita DHR242 18v LXT Cordless SDS Plus Drill with DX06 dust attachment is a versatile rotary hammer designed for professional contractors and serious DIY users tackling demanding drilling applications. Powered by Makita's advanced LXT lithium-ion technology, this SDS drill combines cordless convenience with the performance needed for heavy-duty work.
At the heart of the DHR242 is a brushless motor that delivers efficient, powerful performance whilst extending tool lifespan and reducing maintenance requirements. The three-mode operation—rotary drilling, hammer drilling, and chiselling—provides exceptional versatility for a wide range of applications. Whether you're drilling anchor points in concrete, creating cable runs through masonry, or removing tiles during refurbishment work, this cordless SDS drill adapts to the task at hand.
Designed with user comfort in mind, the DHR242 features an ergonomic handle that reduces operator fatigue during extended use. An integrated LED work light illuminates the work area for improved visibility in confined or poorly lit spaces. Variable speed control and torque limiter functionality give you precise control whilst protecting against bit binding and tool damage.
This comprehensive kit includes the DX06 dust extraction system for cleaner, safer working conditions—particularly valuable when drilling overhead or in enclosed spaces. Supplied with two 5Ah batteries, DC18RC charger, and organised Makpac storage case, you have everything needed for professional cordless drilling straight from the box.

Battery AH Explained
The best way to describe battery amp hour is that this is effectively the size of your fuel tank, the more amp hours your battery has then the longer the battery will last between charges. More amp hours does not increase the power of a given tool.
Battery Voltage Explained
A tool with a higher voltage than another is a bit like choosing an engine in a car, the higher voltage will generally mean higher power & performance. As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers.
