Additional Makita BHR240Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 7/8-Inch SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer (Tool Only, No Battery) Information
|
This Makita rotary hammer is so powerful it can keep up corded models in its class! It drills twice as fast as its predecessors because it synchronizes the rotation and hammering actions for more efficient drilling. This tool has a built-in clutch that limits excess torque, protecting the motor, in the event it hits rebar while drilling through concrete. It has a brake that conveniently stops the rotation of the chuck when youve stopped drilling. This light-weight tool is only 7.1 pounds, 16-1/8 inches long and comes with a 2-finger trigger, which provides comfort when drilling for long periods. It has three modes: rotary hammer drill, drill only (for drilling through wood or steel or for driving fasteners with an accessory chuck) and hammer only (for light, light-duty chipping). This rotary hammer is a 7/8-inch drill, which means the maximum hole it can comfortably drill is 7/8 inches in diameter. It drills faster at smaller diameters. This Makita tool delivers a whopping 1.9 Joules of impact energy. It has a SDS-plus chuck, which means it accepts SDS-plus drill bits, not SDS-Max bits. SDS-plus bits and chisels have a specialized groove pattern on the chuck end of the bit to prevent slippage of the bit in the chuck. SDS-Max bits and chisels have a different groove pattern and are only used on more powerful corded rotary hammers and chipping hammers. An accessory chuck is available that inserts into the SDS-plus chuck, allowing usage of standard round-shank masonry drill bits. (Bare Tool Only - No Battery And No Charger)

What Customers Say About Makita BHR240Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 7/8-Inch SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer (Tool Only, No Battery):

I think Makita could have put a little more work into their battery mount on this tool to better isolate the vibration. The part of the tool that accepts the battery is mounted on rubber to insulate the battery from vibration, and feels a little bit too loose. The battery still can vibrate against the tool itself. I've been using a Bosch Bulldog for about 7 years. Otherwise, i'm very happy with my free tool. It's almost every bit as powerful as the corded Bulldog, and works great for smaller size holes. I got the Makita BHR240 as a mail in rebate from Makita for buying their LXT702 kit from Amazon. Combine this tool with a Makita impact driver, and you've got an ideal cordless solution to driving Tapcon fasteners into concrete and masonry.
I can drill each 5/8" hole up to 6" deep in a minute or two, but it drains the battery at a fairly quick clip. Based on my experience with the 5/8" holes, I have no doubt it is capable of drilling up to 7/8" holes.I also used a 1" chisel bit on it and it worked really fast to chip concrete to set the footings. This Makita LXT 18v Li-on D-handle rotary hammer has 1.9 joules (or 1.4 ft*lb) of impact energy at up to 4000 blows per minute. My rough recollection is that it can only drill at most 2 of the 6"-deep, 5/8" diameter holes before the battery needs recharging. All in all, I am happy with this purchase despite the short battery life. By comparison, Makita's corded version has 2.7 joules (or 2.0 ft*lb) of impact energy at up to 4500 blows per minute, making the cordless version about 70% as powerful as the corded version, which isn't bad. I can't complain because the trade-off for portability is power and speed.I bought this cordless rotary hammer specifically to drill 5/8" holes in concrete to set anchor bolts for my deck's footings.
While the Bosch is a great hammer drill as well, the portability of the 18 volt Li-Ion Makita really makes this drill shine, highly recommended for anyone who requires a portable rotary hammer with enough power to do the job. I have used this rotary hammer drill for up to 3/4" holes in concrete and tile and it is nothing short of awesome. I also own the Bosch Bulldog, which is the industry standard in small rotary hammer drills, and this cordless Makita performs right up there with it, making short work of whatever I put it up against.
