- Do I need to buy a battery separately?
- Yes. It is a bare tool, so no battery or charger is included. It only runs on the matching 18V platform batteries.
- Can it drill into concrete?
- It can handle light masonry like brick and soft block in hammer mode. For regular concrete work, a corded or cordless rotary hammer is the better tool.
- Is brushless worth it over a brushed drill?
- Brushless motors run cooler, deliver more runtime per charge and generally last longer. The trade-off is a higher tool cost.
- What is the difference between drill, driver and hammer drill modes?
- Drill mode bores holes in wood and metal, driver mode limits torque for screws, and hammer mode adds a pulsing action for masonry.
- Will it fit my existing 18V batteries?
- Only if they are from the same brand and platform. Battery mounts differ between brands, so confirm compatibility before buying.
