18V LXT Brushless 5/8" Rotary Hammer SDS-Plus (Tool Only)

Makita created a new class in cordless with 18V LXT sub-compact tools. Makita sub-compact gives users 12V handling with 18V performance and compatibility with the world’s largest 18V cordless tool system. The 18V LXT sub-compact Brushless 5/8" rotary hammer (accepts SDS-Plus bits) is ideal for working in tight spaces and for overhead conditions. The DHR171RYJB (1.5 Ah Tool Only) has an efficient Makita BL Brushless motor for up to 50-Percent longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. It has 2-mode operation for "rotation only" or "hammering with rotation", with 0-680 RPM, 0-4, 800 BPM and.81-Feet Lbs./1.1 Joules of impact energy for fast and efficient drilling. The compact size and lower weight mean reduced fatigue for operators, especially for overhead applications. 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.E.D. Lights, and one-touch sliding chuck for easy bit changes. It's part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion batteries. Makita 18V LXT batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star protection Computer controls.
