Our take on the DeWalt XR Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Hammer Drill/Driver (Tool Only)

The DeWalt 20V MAX XR hammer drill/driver is a brushless cordless tool with a 1/2 in. chuck, sold as a bare tool with no battery or charger. The brushless motor and 20V platform make it a workhorse for drilling masonry, driving fasteners and mixing light loads. Its best new price is $259 at Home Depot as of November 4, 2026, with two stores listing it new. That is near the top of what this bare tool typically sells for, so it is not a standout bargain right now.

Pros
  • Brushless motor runs cooler and lasts longer than brushed versions
  • 1/2 in. metal chuck grips large bits securely
  • Hammer mode handles masonry without a separate rotary hammer
  • Shares batteries with the wider 20V MAX lineup
  • Three-mode clutch covers drilling, driving and hammering
Cons
  • Tool only: no battery or charger in the box
  • Heavy and long for overhead or tight-space work
  • $259 is high for a bare tool; kits often cost little more
  • Hammer mode is slow going in hard concrete compared with a rotary hammer

  • Long runtime per charge on 5.0Ah packs
  • Durable chuck and gearbox under heavy use
  • Hammer mode works for anchors and small holes
Cons

Questions and answers

Is the DeWalt XR brushless hammer drill worth it?
Yes if you already own 20V MAX batteries and need one drill for wood, metal and light masonry. If you are starting from scratch, a kit with batteries and a charger usually costs less than buying this tool plus power separately.
What comes in the box?
The bare tool only: the drill, a belt hook and a bit holder. No battery, charger or case is included, so you need a 20V MAX pack and charger.
How does it compare with the non-XR DeWalt drill?
The XR version adds a brushless motor, more torque and hammer mode. The standard brushed drill is lighter and cheaper but slower and shorter-lived under heavy use.
Can it drill into concrete?
Yes, in hammer mode with masonry bits, for anchors and holes up to about 1/2 in. For repeated large holes in hard concrete, a dedicated rotary hammer is faster.
Which batteries does it use?
Any DeWalt 20V MAX lithium-ion pack. Larger 4.0Ah and 5.0Ah packs give the best runtime; the tool is not compatible with 12V or FlexVolt-only tools.
When is it cheapest?
Bare-tool prices drop during holiday sales and when DeWalt runs battery-kit promotions. At $259 as of November 4, 2026, it is worth waiting for a bundle or a sale.
Where is the DeWalt XR Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Hammer Drill/Driver (Tool Only) cheapest?
At Home Depot, for $259.00, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the DeWalt XR Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Hammer Drill/Driver (Tool Only)?
