The Makita cordless rotary hammer DHR171RAJ is particularly handy due to its compact, short design and is suitable for drilling and hammer drilling. The brushless motor allows for greater endurance, longer lifespan, and a more compact construction. The SDS-PLUS tool holder enables very quick changes of the tool attachment. The housing and handle design are specifically optimized for low vibrations. Darker work areas are not a problem either, as the bright LED with afterglow function illuminates even the darkest corners. Additionally, the DHR171RAJ features electronically adjustable speed, forward/reverse operation, and an auxiliary handle with depth stop.
