Makita DHR171RTJ – Brushless 18V LXT Rotary Hammer Drill with 2×5.0 Ah Battery and MAKPAC Case

Makita DHR171RTJ – Compact and Powerful 18V SDS‑PLUS Rotary Hammer Drill

The cordless Makita DHR171RTJ rotary hammer drill (also known as 18V SDS‑PLUS hammer, brushless LXT rotary hammer, Makita impact drill) is an exceptionally lightweight, handy, and efficient tool designed for quick drilling in concrete, brick, wood, and steel. Thanks to LXT 18V technology and a BLDC motor, the device offers high power at minimal weight, making it an ideal tool for overhead work and in tight spaces.

2 Operating Modes – Full Versatility

The DHR171RTJ model offers two basic modes: drilling and hammer drilling. This allows for a wide range of tasks – from installation work to finishing tasks, and even drilling holes for anchors in concrete up to 17 mm in diameter.

The brushless motor provides greater efficiency, longer runtime, and lower energy consumption. The constant speed under load feature ensures a steady drilling pace, while the speed adjustment allows for precise parameter matching to the material.

Ergonomics and User Comfort

The Makita DHR171RTJ rotary hammer drill features a compact design – just 273 mm in length – and a low weight of 2.1 to 2.8 kg (EPTA). This makes the tool excellent for use in hard-to-reach places.

The built-in LED lighting facilitates work in dark areas, and the SDS‑PLUS chuck allows for quick accessory changes. The brake and the ability to change the rotation direction enhance safety and control over the tool.
