The Makita XRH04Z is a step-up 18V LXT brushless SDS-Plus rotary hammer providing 2.0 ft-lbs of impact energy and a 1-1/8 in. concrete drilling capacity for demanding anchor installation and structural work. Three operating modes, a variable-speed trigger, and the brushless BL Motor maximize both performance and battery life on the LXT platform. Sold tool-only for contractors already equipped with 18V LXT batteries.
What is the XRH04Z rated concrete drilling capacity?
The XRH04Z is rated for a maximum 1-1/8 in. diameter in concrete when using a standard SDS-Plus carbide-tipped bit. For larger diameters, use a core bit adapter in rotation-only mode or upgrade to an SDS-Max tool.
Is the XRH04Z appropriate for masonry block work?
Yes. With 2.0 ft-lbs of impact energy, the XRH04Z handles concrete masonry units (CMU), mortar joints, and brick for common anchor sizes used in block construction. It is well-matched to the demands of masonry trades.
Can I use the XRH04Z with a dust extraction shroud?
Yes. SDS-Plus dust extraction shrouds and vacuum attachments compatible with the XRH04Z are available from Makita and third-party manufacturers. Pairing with a vacuum is recommended for overhead drilling to comply with silica dust regulations.
What is the no-load BPM range of the XRH04Z?
The XRH04Z delivers up to 4,500 BPM under no-load conditions. In actual drilling, BPM decreases as load increases, but remains effective across the tool's rated concrete capacity range.
Does the XRH04Z have a soft-start feature?
Yes. The variable-speed trigger allows for controlled startup, which is especially helpful when starting holes in tile, stone, or other materials prone to surface chipping at full speed.
