Part of the trusted Makita LXT system, this versatile drill features eXtreme Protection Technology to guard against dust and moisture ingress, making it suitable for demanding jobsite conditions. The dual-mode operation allows tradespeople to switch between rotary hammer drilling and rotary-only mode, providing flexibility for different materials and applications. With a 16mm capacity in concrete, 13mm in steel and 24mm in wood, the DHR165 delivers 1.3 joules of impact energy at up to 5,300 blows per minute. The integrated LED worklight with afterglow function ensures visibility in dimly lit areas, whilst the one-touch slide chuck enables quick SDS Plus bit changes without additional tools. At just 2.3-3.0kg, this cordless hammer drill offers excellent manoeuvrability for overhead work and confined spaces. Safety features include an electric brake for rapid bit stoppage and a torque limiter to protect the user if the bit binds.
