Makita XRH04Z 18V LXT Cordless 7/8-Inch SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer (Tool Only)

Overview

The Makita XRH04Z is a cordless 7/8" SDS-Plus rotary hammer built for concrete drilling and light chiseling. As part of Makita’s 18V LXT family, it blends cordless freedom with robust hammer action and a compact profile designed for tight spaces on the job site.

Power, speed, and control

With a built in variable speed motor, the tool delivers 0-1,200 RPM and 0-4,000 BPM. The design synchronizes RPM and BPM to support faster drilling with steadier impact, helping you progress efficiently through masonry tasks.

Three modes for versatility

• Rotation Only for precise holes
• Hammering with Rotation for rapid drilling with impact
• Hammering Only for concrete chipping or chiseling

Protection and durability

A torque limiting clutch automatically disengages gears if the bit binds, guarding the gearbox. The shock absorbent handle helps dampen vibration, contributing to greater comfort and durability in demanding conditions.

Design and compatibility

• Compact, balanced form for handling in tight spaces
• Accepts SDS-PLUS bits for broad masonry versatility
• Part of Makita 18V LXT, with fast charging options to reduce downtime

Real-world use cases

Ideal for renovation work, you can switch from drilling through concrete to chiseling channels mid-task. Being tool only, it pairs with existing 18V LXT batteries for a cordless workflow, letting you move freely around the job site without a power cord.

Note that performance depends on your battery choice and bit selection; the XRH04Z is designed to offer adaptable power and control without promising specific outcomes.
