Our take on the DeWalt ATOMIC 20V MAX Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Hammer Drill with POWERSTACK Battery and Charger

The DeWalt ATOMIC 20V MAX is a compact brushless cordless hammer drill with a 1/2-inch keyless chuck and a two-speed gearbox topping out at 1,650 rpm. It runs on DeWalt's 20V MAX batteries and ships with a POWERSTACK pack and charger. The ATOMIC line is built shorter than DeWalt's full-size XR drills, so it fits between studs and in tight overhead work. It is a hammer drill, so it also drills small holes in brick and block, not just wood and metal.

Best forHomeowners and DIYers who want one drill for wood, metal and light masonryElectricians and remodelers working in tight spacesBuyers already on the DeWalt 20V MAX battery platformAnyone who wants brushless runtime without full-size XR bulk
Pros
  • Brushless motor for more runtime and less maintenance than brushed drills
  • Compact ATOMIC body fits where full-size drills won't
  • Hammer mode handles light masonry and brick
  • 1/2-inch keyless chuck takes standard bits
  • Built-in LED light for dark cabinets and crawlspaces
  • Ships with a POWERSTACK battery, DeWalt's denser, lighter pack
Cons
  • Not a replacement for a rotary hammer on serious concrete work

What reviewers say

Owners of the ATOMIC line generally rate it highly for its size-to-power ratio and smooth brushless motor. The common complaint is that it is a compact drill first and a hammer drill second, so heavy masonry work is slow.

Pros
  • Light and short enough for one-handed work overhead
  • Good power for its size in wood and metal
  • POWERSTACK battery charges fast and holds up well
  • LED light placement works in tight spots
Cons
  • Hammer mode is weak on hard concrete
  • Chuck can slip with large hole saws
  • Some buyers wish it came with two batteries

Questions and answers

Is the DeWalt ATOMIC hammer drill worth it over the XR?
For tight spaces and general home work, yes. The ATOMIC is shorter and lighter. If you drill large holes or do regular masonry, the full-size XR hammer drill has more torque.
Can it drill into concrete?
It can drill small holes in brick, block and soft concrete with a masonry bit. For repeated or large-diameter concrete holes, use a rotary hammer.
What battery does it use?
Any DeWalt 20V MAX battery, including the POWERSTACK pack in the kit. The kit includes one battery and a charger.
What is in the box?
The drill, one 20V MAX POWERSTACK battery, a charger and a belt hook. A case is usually not included.
How does it compare to the DeWalt DCD805?
The DCD805 is a full-size XR hammer drill with more torque and a longer body. The ATOMIC is smaller and lighter but gives up some power.
When is it cheapest?
DeWalt kits tend to drop around Black Friday, Father's Day and end-of-season tool sales. Compare the kit price against buying the bare tool plus a POWERSTACK separately.
