Key Features & Benefits
- 2.0 J Impact Energy — delivers genuine SDS-class hammer drilling performance for anchor holes, dowel fixings, and service penetrations up to 24 mm in concrete.
- 3-Mode Selector — switch between hammer drilling for masonry, rotation only for steel and timber, and hammer only for light chiselling and tile removal.
- Brushless Motor with Electronic Control — optimises energy draw from the battery in real time, generating less heat and extending run time by up to 50% per charge.
- Anti-Vibration Rubber Joint — a unique rubber coupling between the motor and body absorbs vibration before it reaches the operator and the battery terminal.
- DX06 Dust Extractor Compatible — accepts the optional on-tool dust extraction attachment for enclosed-space work and compliance with silica dust regulations.
- Variable Speed Trigger — allows gradual speed build-up for accurate hole placement without bit walking on smooth surfaces.
When to Use This Rotary Hammer
The DHR242Z is the cordless rotary hammer for trades who need to drill anchors, run conduit, and fix brackets into concrete, brick, and block without dragging a cord or generator. Its 24 mm capacity covers the majority of trade fixings — Dynabolts, sleeve anchors, and chemical anchors up to M16. Use rotation-only mode with standard drill bits for steel and timber, and hammer-only mode for light chiselling tasks like removing tiles or chasing small channels. For holes larger than 24 mm or demolition-grade chiselling, step up to a 40 mm class SDS Max hammer.
