Our take on the DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless 1-1/8 in SDS Plus Rotary Hammer (DCH293B)

The DCH293B is DEWALT's top cordless SDS Plus rotary hammer, a bare tool built on the 20V MAX XR battery platform. It delivers 3.5 joules of impact energy from a brushless motor and German-engineered hammer mechanism, which puts it near corded performance for drilling larger holes in hard concrete. Its E-Clutch bind-up detection and SHOCKS vibration control are the features that separate it from cheaper cordless hammers. It suits contractors and installers who drill anchors and larger holes all day and already own 20V MAX batteries.

About the DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless 1-1/8 in SDS Plus Rotary Hammer (DCH293B)

Take on demanding concrete drilling and anchor installation with the DEWALT DCH293B 20V MAX XR Brushless 1-1/8 in Rotary Hammer. Designed for professional contractors, electricians, mechanical installers, and serious DIY users, this high-performance cordless rotary hammer combines 3.5 joules of impact energy with advanced vibration and bind-up control for demanding concrete and masonry applications. A DEWALT-built brushless motor and durable German-engineered hammer mechanism provide powerful, efficient performance for drilling larger-diameter holes in hard concrete. With 3.5 joules of impact energy, the DCH293B delivers corded-level capability with the mobility of the DEWALT 20V MAX cordless platform. For improved control, the integrated E-Clutch system detects bind-up conditions and helps minimize sudden torque reaction compared with standard mechanical clutches. SHOCKS Active Vibration Control reduces vibration felt at the handles, helping improve comfort and reduce fatigue during repetitive or extended drilling applications. The balanced ergonomic design makes the rotary hammer well suited for demanding installation work throughout the day. It is optimized for applications including installation of DEWALT Screw-Bolt+, HangerMate+, and Mini-Undercut+ anchors. For cleaner concrete drilling, the DCH293B is dust extraction ready and compatible with the DEWALT D25304DH dust extractor. A retractable utility hook provides convenient storage between applications. This is a tool-only model, making it a strong option for users who already own compatible DEWALT 20V MAX batteries and chargers.
