The DeWalt DCH072B is a compact 12V Max SDS-Plus rotary hammer sold as a bare tool. Its brushless motor delivers up to 1.1 joules of impact energy in a body small enough for overhead work like mounting strut, hanging fixtures and anchoring pipe clamps. It is the lightest class of SDS-Plus hammer, so it trades raw drilling speed in concrete for portability and one-handed handling. It suits electricians, plumbers and maintenance techs who already own DeWalt 12V Max batteries; anyone drilling lots of large holes in concrete will want an 18V or corded hammer instead.

Owners of the DCH072B tend to be tradespeople using it for small anchor and fixture holes. They like the low weight and the fact that it fits where a full-size hammer will not. The common complaint is that it is slow in harder concrete and drains small 12V packs quickly.
