DEWALT 20V MAX Rotary Hammer, SDS Plus, 1-1/8-Inch, Tool Only (DCH263B)

This rotary hammer works so well, I was using my parents corded Bosch hammer drill when the brushes burnt out, and I’ve been adding to my 20v collection so figured it was time to buy my own hammer drill. But I decided might as well go one step further since I have so many drills and drivers already. I’ll start off with saying this doesn’t seem very powerful. I don’t know what all magic they’ve done in here but it feels anemic when the motor spins, the hammer drill from Bosch could be felt through your body, and could be heard down the block. This one is quiet, and here’s the weird part, it works so good at drilling through concrete. Used a 5/8” bit, went through the concrete without any struggle, barely put my weight on the device. It felt, in comparison to the Bosch, like it would be struggling, but it showed it up in record time. Seriously, like took like 5 seconds per hole to drill. I installed over a dozen tapcons for a pergola using this to drill the holes, worked beautifully. You will want a 5a or larger battery, one it will use it up somewhat quickly, and two those batteries actually contain a higher voltage unless you have the new power stack batteries. After using this, I had no arm fatigue at all. The shocks and everything built into the device made it so easy to handle, like using a normal drill to drill into soft wood.

Bought to use on a hard rock mining trip. Used in Dolomite all day long without an issue. When used with DeWalt 20 Volt batteries I could drill 8-12 5/8 holes 12 plus inches deep in Dolomite per battery. It had the power to hammer drill 24 inches into Dolomite which was very impressive. The shock reducing handle is effective in reducing fatigue due to the reduced intensity of impacts felt. Highly recommened.

Excellent addition to my 20V Dewalt tools. Theyre one of those item you don't need all the time, but when you need it, you need it. Did my full deck install drilling (20) 4" deep, 5/8" diameter holes and it didn't break a sweat.

Thank you for max price for me,and the item work perfect, thank you

Build quality is solid, it has really good power for its size, easy to use. Took out 3 commercial office block walls with it on day one. Compared it to a slightly larger electric Makita and although that had a little more power, I would take this cordless over it any day.

Un producto de buena calidad y bastante duracion. Lo uso de manera diaria es muy bueno

Great tool to have for chipping or concrete drilling. Very comfortable with the shock feature. Has an LED for better sight. Has option for dust extractor not included. Will work with any of the Dewalt 20V batteries.

Bottom line, for the money, this is one of the best bang for your buck SDS Demo/hammer drill’s you’ll find. Puts out just .3 Jules of energy less than its cousin for half the price. Sure it’s not as compact as the bottom motor mounted version, but it works nearly as fast and may have a better handle design(but that’s mostly preference). The biggest nagging issue for me is storing in my tool box. Why can’t they make this with a folding/removable handle? I have to remove the handle every time I put it away. I’d love to see one of these with a side folding handle.
