Quick verdict
The DHR242 is a practical addition to an existing LXT kit when masonry fixings and light chiselling share the same workload. Its three operating modes give it useful flexibility.
Key specifications
18V LXT brushless motor and SDS-Plus chuck
2.0 J impact energy
Up to 24 mm drilling in concrete
0–950 rpm and 0–4,700 impacts per minute
Drilling, hammer drilling and chiselling modes
What we like
Three modes cover drilling and small removal jobs.
Anti-vibration handle helps manage vibration at the grip.
Electronic brake stops rotation after releasing the trigger.
What to consider
The stated optimum concrete range is 4–16 mm; maximum capacity is not the everyday target.
Check the kit suffix: bare versions need an LXT battery and charger.
Who should buy it?
LXT owners fitting brackets, services and fixings who also need occasional chiselling without adding another battery platform.
Final verdict
A useful general-purpose SDS-Plus option. Choose it for the combination of drilling capacity and a dedicated chisel mode.
