Cordless Freedom with 18V LXT Technology



Powered by Makita’s 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion battery system (battery sold separately), the XRH01Z offers cordless convenience without sacrificing power. The LXT battery platform is trusted for providing longer run time, fast charging, and consistent performance across a wide range of Makita tools, meaning fewer interruptions and more productivity on the jobsite.



If you're already running Makita 18V tools, the XRH01Z fits seamlessly into your lineup, helping you save time, money, and space.



Three-Mode Operation for Maximum Versatility



One of the standout features of the Makita XRH01Z is its three-mode operation:



  • Rotation Only: Ideal for drilling into wood, metal, or plastic.


  • Hammering with Rotation: Perfect for drilling into concrete, brick, and masonry.


  • Hammering Only: Great for light chipping and demolition work.


This flexibility makes the XRH01Z a must-have for a wide variety of tasks, from simple anchor setting to more complex renovation work.

Impressive Performance and Power



The XRH01Z delivers a no-load speed of 0–1,200 RPM and up to 4,000 BPM (blows per minute), providing plenty of muscle for drilling through tough materials. With a maximum capacity of 7/8" in concrete, this combination hammer easily handles demanding applications without bogging down.



Plus, the brushless motor technology extends the tool’s life, increases efficiency, and reduces heat buildup—a win-win for serious users who rely on their tools every day.



User-Focused Design for Comfort and Control



Makita built the XRH01Z with the user in mind. Features like:



  • Ergonomic D-handle grip for better control and reduced fatigue.


  • Compact and lightweight design to minimize strain during extended use.


  • Vibration-absorbing housing to protect your hands and arms from unnecessary stress.


Whether you're overhead drilling or tackling foundation work, the comfort and balance of the XRH01Z keep you working longer with less fatigue.

Built Tough for the Jobsite



Makita tools are known for their rugged durability, and the XRH01Z is no exception. The tool features:



  • Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) for improved dust and water resistance in harsh conditions.


  • All-metal gear housing for longer tool life and better performance under heavy loads.
