Cordless rotary hammer Makita DHR183Z 18V LXT, 1.7 J, SDS‑PLUS, compact (SOLO)

Makita DHR183Z – compact 18V rotary hammer for professionals

The cordless rotary hammer Makita DHR183Z 18V LXT® is an exceptionally lightweight, compact, and precise tool designed for professionals who need a mobile solution for drilling in concrete, brick, wood, and steel. With an impact energy of 1.7 J and a brushless BLDC motor, this model offers high performance while maintaining a small size and low weight.

The DHR183Z operates in two modes: drilling and hammer drilling, making it an ideal tool for installation, assembly, conduit work, anchoring, and light construction tasks. The impact is activated only when the tool is pressed against the material, ensuring precise drilling initiation and extending the runtime on a single battery charge.

Technologies enhancing durability and work comfort

Makita has equipped the DHR183Z model with a range of technologies that improve comfort and safety:

BLDC – brushless motor

The BLDC motor provides greater power, longer lifespan, and lower energy consumption. The absence of brushes means reduced failure rates and higher work efficiency.

AVT – Anti‑Vibration Technology

The AVT system and vibration-absorbing gearbox housing significantly reduce vibrations, resulting in greater comfort and less hand fatigue during longer drilling sessions.

XPT – Extreme Protection Technology

The XPT technology increases the tool's resistance to dust and moisture, making the rotary hammer ideal for challenging construction and renovation conditions.

Precision and user convenience

The rotary hammer is equipped with a dual LED light with a delayed shut-off function, providing excellent visibility in dark spaces. The anti-vibration handle, adjustable in three positions, allows users to adapt the tool to the type of work and personal preferences.

The DHR183Z model is compatible with the DX16 dust extraction system, enabling cleaner working conditions and enhancing safety when drilling in concrete.
