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 provides greater endurance, a longer lifespan, and a more compact construction. The SDS-PLUS tool holder allows for very quick changes of tool attachments. The housing and handle design is specifically designed to minimize vibrations. Darker work areas are not a problem either, as the powerful 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.
