Makita DHR 242 (XRH01): Review & Performance Tests (Brushless SDS Rotary Hammer)

Makita’s DHR242 (known as Makita XRH01 in the states) is a new take on an old classic. A bit smaller, lighter, and lower-rated in capacity than the previous versions. But how’s she actually run? Let’s find out! Here I compare its performance to Milwaukee M18CH, DeWalt DCH 133, DCH263, Bosch GBH 18v-26D and many other cordless SDS rotary hammers. ***Please subscribe!*** You still have to watch ads, but if I get 1000 subs I can get a cut of the ad revenue!
