Is this drill good for drilling into concrete?

It handles light masonry like brick and soft block in hammer mode. For repeated holes in cured concrete, a corded or cordless rotary hammer is the right tool.

How does the ATOMIC compare to DeWalt's full-size XR hammer drill?

The ATOMIC is shorter and lighter, which helps in tight spaces and overhead. The full-size XR drills have more torque and longer runtime for heavy work.

What is included in the kit?

The drill, one 20V MAX XR POWERSTACK 1.7Ah battery, a charger and a belt hook. It does not include drill bits or a case unless the listing says so.

How long does the 1.7Ah battery last?

Expect a few dozen holes or light driving tasks per charge. For long framing or decking sessions, plan on a second battery.

Does it work with other DeWalt 20V MAX batteries?

Yes. It runs on any DeWalt 20V MAX battery, and the included POWERSTACK battery works in other 20V MAX tools.

Is this kit a good value?

You get a compact brushless hammer drill plus a POWERSTACK battery and charger in one box. Weigh that against full-size XR kits, which cost more but bring more torque and runtime.

About the DeWalt ATOMIC 20V MAX Brushless 1/2 in. Hammer Drill with 20V MAX XR POWERSTACK 1.7Ah Battery and Charger

The DeWalt ATOMIC 20V MAX is a compact brushless hammer drill with a 1/2 in. keyless chuck, two-speed gearbox and a built-in LED. This kit pairs it with the 20V MAX XR POWERSTACK 1.7Ah battery and a charger. It is shorter and lighter than DeWalt's full-size XR hammer drills, which makes it easier to use overhead and in tight spots. Its value comes from that compact brushless build plus the small, fast-charging POWERSTACK battery, though the single small pack limits long sessions.

Cons

1.7Ah battery is a small capacity, so runtime is limited under heavy load
Not a replacement for a rotary hammer on concrete
Compact body means less torque than DeWalt's full-size hammer drills
Kit ships with one battery, so long jobs need a spare

What reviewers say

4.5 / 5282 ratings

Owners of the ATOMIC brushless hammer drill line generally rate it highly for its size and power, calling it a strong step up from brushed compact drills. The most common complaints are runtime with small batteries and the limits of hammer mode on hard concrete.
