Description
Makita revolutionizes cordless performance with its 18V LXT® Sub-Compact series, delivering 12V-class ergonomics with the power and runtime of 18V. The XRH06ZB 11/16 in. Brushless Rotary Hammer is engineered for contractors and professionals needing powerful performance in tight, overhead, or precision environments.
The compact design measures only 10-3/4 in. long and weighs less than comparable models, reducing operator fatigue—especially for overhead drilling in concrete, masonry, and tile. Powered by an efficient Makita BL™ Brushless Motor, the XRH06ZB delivers 0.88 ft-lbs (1.2 Joules) of impact energy, 0–680 RPM, and 0–4,800 BPM for quick, efficient drilling.
The tool offers two modes of operation: rotation only and hammering with rotation, making it ideal for a range of applications. Additional features such as AVT™-style vibration-reducing handle, one-touch sliding SDS-PLUS chuck, and built-in LED lights make it even more versatile and comfortable.
Compatible with Makita’s 18V LXT® battery system—the world's largest cordless tool lineup powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries (battery and charger sold separately).
