- Is this drill good for concrete?
- Yes for brick, block and light concrete. In hard or reinforced concrete it is slower than a rotary hammer, so use one of those for heavy work.
- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- This listing pairs the bare hammer drill with one 20V MAX XR 4.0Ah battery. A charger is not included unless the listing says so, so check before buying.
- How does it compare with the DeWalt Atomic hammer drill?
- The XR is larger, more powerful and better for sustained drilling. The Atomic is lighter and easier for overhead and tight-space work.
- What is the difference between drill and hammer mode?
- Drill mode rotates only, for wood and metal. Hammer mode adds a pulsing action for masonry. Use the screwdriver clutch setting for driving screws.
- Can it use other DeWalt 20V MAX batteries?
- Yes. It runs on any DeWalt 20V MAX or 20V MAX XR pack, so it fits batteries you already own from other DeWalt tools.
- Is it worth it over a corded hammer drill?
- For jobsite mobility and no cord, yes. A corded drill gives constant power for heavy concrete work at a lower cost.
- Where is the Dewalt 20V MAX XR Lithium-Ion Cordless Premium Brushless 1/2 in. Hammer Drill and 20V MAX XR Premium Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah Battery cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $315.65, as of our latest check.
