Makita DHR171Z 18V Li-Ion LXT Brushless Rotary Hammer - Batteries And Charger Not Included

Product Information

Thanks for taking your time to read our review of the Makita DHR171Z 18V LXT brushless rotary hammer drill. They use premium grade steel to produce armature shafts and gears, and only steel of the highest grade is used.

It has an efficient brushless motor for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. Overall it's very easy to tell from these comments that this is more suitable for DIY around the home, or for drilling smaller masonry holes for people in the trade. It has 2-mode operation for “rotation only” or “hammering with rotation”, with 0-680 RPM, 0-4,800 IPM and 1. I hope you enjoy watching it as I always think its much better to see a tool in action rather than just reading about it or seeing pictures.This type of motor also efficiently uses energy to match torque and rpm to the changing demands of the application. The compact size and lower weight mean reduced fatigue for operators, especially for overhead applications.

The brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes, and that allows the motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life. If this is not the model for you then check our article on the Best Cordless Makita Drillls for some more information.Additional features include a vibration-absorbing handle that moves independently of the motor and hammer mechanism for increased operator comfort, as well as a variable speed trigger, built-in L. It gives you an instant idea of what to expect as well as telling you all the features and spec in and easy to understand format. Makita believe that for a good tool you need a good motor, and Makita makes every effort to make sure their motors are of the best quality.

The DHR171 has an efficient Makita Brushless Motor for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. They also complete quality control tests on each and every, machine that leaves their manufacturing plants. The beauty of this drill is that it is lighter then most rotary drills and that is great if you have to do a lot of high level work. It wouldn't be our first choice for a main rotary drill, but we would use it a lot on the smaller jobs, where there is restricted space, or smaller drill holes to be made quickly. Their Telford manufacturing plant is the only full-production facility for power tools in the UK and has been successfully running construction on many of our top line cordless power tools since 1991.Toolstop Limited is a credit broker, not a lender and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 737231). It isn't a heavy duty drill, but the compact design and light weight make it a great choice in restricted spaces or when working overhead. This guy is particularly good at explaining the features of the drill and he is well known for demonstrating Makita tools.

We have looked over all the video reviews and found this great short presentation on this Makita power tool. The cordless DHR171Z brushless rotary hammer from Makita is ideal for working in tight spaces and overhead thanks to its compact design. However, this type of drill is quite hard on the battery so if you have a big job to do then I would advise you to go for this top of the range, 6Ah battery. As we mentioned it doesn't have the full power that larger rotary drills will have, but is is still powerful enough for many tasks.

The Makita brand sell a wide range of cordless tools and tools for the construction and demolition industries. It is worth remembering that the size of this drill is small, it is also light, but drilling capacities are smaller than standard SDS drills. We think this would be a great choice for window fitters, carpenters, electricians and plumbers as it is compact enough for restricted spaces, and yet packs plenty of power.
