Key Features & Benefits
- 1.7 J Impact Energy — provides genuine SDS-class hammer drilling for anchor holes and fixings up to 18 mm in concrete, ideal for light to medium trade fixings.
- Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT) — the handle moves independently of the motor and hammer mechanism, reducing vibration to 7.7 m/s² for improved comfort.
- Brushless Motor — delivers longer runtime per charge, less heat, and extended motor life compared to brushed equivalents.
- Compact Sub-Compact Design — lightweight body designed for overhead drilling and tight-space work where larger hammers are too bulky.
- Variable Speed Trigger — allows controlled speed build-up for accurate hole placement without bit walking.
- LED Work Lights — built-in illumination for drilling in dark cavities and confined spaces.
When to Use This Rotary Hammer
The DHR183Z is the compact rotary hammer for trades who need light to medium concrete drilling in a small, low-vibration package. Its 18 mm capacity covers anchors and fixings up to M10, making it ideal for electricians, data cablers, and air-conditioning installers who mount brackets and cable trays. The AVT system makes it noticeably more comfortable than the DHR202Z for overhead work. For anchors larger than M10, step up to the DHR242Z with its 24 mm capacity.
