## Summary

The DHR243 is a long-running 18V LXT SDS-plus hammer with 2.0 J of impact energy, three modes and a quick-change chuck. It is sized for anchor holes of 4 to 16 mm and drills up to 24 mm in concrete.

## Why this one

- **2.0 J impact energy**: Up to 4,700 blows/min for 4–16 mm anchor holes.
- **Quick-change chuck**: Swap SDS-plus for a 13 mm keyless chuck in seconds.
- **Three modes**: Rotary, hammer drilling and chisel-only operation.
- **Torque limiter**: Releases the drive when the bit binds.

## The story

### The installer's hammer

Electricians, plumbers and HVAC fitters drill hundreds of 6 to 12 mm holes for anchors, clips and brackets. The DHR243 is sized for that job: 2.0 J per blow, up to 4,700 blows a minute and 3.2 kg with a battery, so it can be used overhead without a second person.

### Three modes, two chucks

Switch between rotation only, hammer drilling and chiselling for light chasing and tile removal. The supplied quick-change 13 mm keyless chuck swaps in for the SDS-plus chuck, so the same tool drills steel and timber with round-shank bits. A torque limiter releases the drive if the bit jams.

### Dust and system

Optional dust-collecting caps and a HEPA-filtered extraction attachment keep drilling clean in occupied buildings such as schools, offices and homes. It runs on any 18V LXT battery, and German kits (DHR243RTJ) add two 5.0 Ah packs, a charger and a MAKPAC.
