Seems like a good price for the 18V Makita SDS hammer drill, which comes with the quick change steel chuck for standard bits. Local places have this for ~$500, and the DHR242Z which I think is the same drill without the extra chuck for ~$430.
The Camels say Amazon AU had this slightly cheaper on one occasion earlier this year but other than that this looks like a good deal if you don't mind missing out on the local warranty support.
Note the downside is this won't be eligible for local Makita warranty support or extended warranty registration.
From Amazon:
Product Description
Makita DHR243Z 18V Brushless Rotary Hammer Drill is a high-performance rotary hammer drill engineered for professional-grade drilling applications. Powered by an 18V Li-Ion battery and featuring brushless motor technology, this drill offers superior power, efficiency and durability. Its rotary hammer action enables drilling into tough materials such as concrete and masonry with ease, making it ideal for construction, renovation and installation tasks. It is equipped with a variable speed trigger, users can adjust the drilling speed for precise operation. The built-in LED work light illuminates dark workspaces, improving visibility and accuracy.
Set Contains:
1 x Makita DHR243Z
1 x Depth gauge
1 x Side handle
1 x Quick change chuck
No shock joint at the top of the handle like Milwaukee, Bosch etc.
Fine for small guage drilling but fatigue inducing and painful to control when using as a mini jack hammer.
Anyone seen a review on this particular unit? I may be mistaken but the ergonomics may be a drawback
