The Makita XRH04T delivers step-up drilling capacity in a full 18V LXT brushless SDS-Plus kit, rated for 1-1/8 in. in concrete with 2.0 ft-lbs of impact energy. Two 5.0Ah batteries and a Rapid Optimum Charger provide sustained runtime for demanding anchor installation, rebar tie-in, and core drilling on commercial work. Three operating modes and a brushless motor combine power with the efficiency of the LXT battery platform.
How does the XRH04T compare to the XRH01T?
The XRH04T has a larger 1-1/8 in. concrete capacity and 2.0 ft-lbs of impact energy versus the XRH01T's 1 in. capacity and 1.5 ft-lbs. The XRH04T is better suited for larger anchors such as 3/4 in. wedge bolts and heavier-duty work, while the XRH01T is lighter and sufficient for standard residential and light commercial anchor setting.
Can the XRH04T be used for coring?
The XRH04T can drive small SDS-Plus core bits in rotation-only mode using an appropriate adapter. For core bits larger than 2 in., a dedicated core drill is recommended for better control and safety.
Is the XRH04T compatible with SDS-Max accessories?
No. The XRH04T uses an SDS-Plus chuck. SDS-Max accessories have a larger shank (10 mm grooves vs. 10 mm for SDS-Plus at a different profile) and are not compatible without an adapter. Always use SDS-Plus rated accessories with this tool.
What concrete bit sizes are commonly used with the XRH04T?
Common SDS-Plus drill bit sizes for this tool range from 3/16 in. to 1-1/8 in. diameter. For core bits, 1 in. to 2 in. SDS-Plus core bit sets with center pilots are typical. Always match the bit to the anchor specification.
How heavy is the XRH04T kit with batteries?
The XRH04Z tool body with a 5.0Ah battery weighs approximately 8.8 lbs. The carrying case with both batteries and charger adds additional weight for transport.
