Variable speed trigger enables the user to match the speed to the application for greater versatility An efficient brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge Makita has created a new class in cordless with 18V LXT new compact tools. The Brushless DHR171 17mm SDS Plus Rotary Hammer is ideal for working in tight spaces and for overhead conditions.

The Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL Motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life Vibration absorbing handle moves independently of the motor and hammer mechanism for increased operator comfort Weighs only 2.8 Kg with BL1840 or higher battery (battery not included) for reduced operator fatigue The cordless DHR171Z brushless rotary hammer from Makita is ideal for working in tight spaces and overhead thanks to its compact design. It has an efficient brushless motor for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. It has a 2-mode operation for "rotation only" or "hammering with rotation", with 0-680 RPM, 0-4,800 IPM and 1.2 Joules of impact energy for fast and efficient drilling. The compact size and lower weight mean reduced fatigue for operators, especially for overhead applications.
