DEWALT DCH172 18V XR Brushless SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer Drill (Bare Unit)

Drilling into concrete and masonry with a standard drill is slow and exhausting. The DEWALT DCH172 18V XR brushless SDS-Plus rotary hammer solves that with cordless freedom and real hammering power, without the weight of a corded machine.

Who is it for

Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians and serious DIYers who need a compact, cordless SDS-Plus hammer for anchoring, light channelling and drilling into concrete, brick and stone. It is a bare unit, so it suits anyone already on the DEWALT XR 18V battery platform.

Tips

Pair with DEWALT XR 18V batteries (2.0 Ah or higher) for best balance of runtime and weight. Use SDS-Plus bits with a diameter between 4 mm and 10 mm for fastest drilling in concrete. For rotary-only drilling in wood or metal, switch the mode selector and use a suitable chuck adapter.
