The Makita DHR281ZWJ is a top-tier cordless SDS+ rotary hammer drill, delivering 36V performance from two 18V LXT batteries. Designed for low-dust, heavy-duty applications in concrete, brick, and masonry, it features a 28mm capacity, quick-change chuck system, and integrated DX09 HEPA dust extraction unit. This makes it ideal for professionals working in dust-sensitive environments where compliance and clean operation are essential.
Equipped with Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT), a brushless motor, and Active Feedback sensing Technology (AFT), the DHR281ZWJ ensures high efficiency, safety, and reduced operator fatigue. The quick-change chuck allows rapid switching between SDS+ and standard cylindrical bits, while the DX09 dust box automatically activates with the trigger to collect debris directly at the drilling point. Supplied in a Makpac Type 4 case, this is a robust, professional solution for demanding job sites.
