Does it come with a battery and charger?

No. It is tool only, so you need a Hercules 20V battery and charger. The box holds the drill and a detachable auxiliary side handle.

Can it drill into concrete?

Yes. Hammer mode runs up to 32,000 blows per minute, and Hercules rates it at up to 110 holes in concrete on a single charge.

What chuck does it use?

A 1/2 in. all-metal Jacobs ratcheting chuck, which takes standard round and hex-shank bits.

How does it compare with a dedicated drill/driver?

It adds hammer mode and more torque, so it handles masonry as well as wood and fasteners. A plain drill/driver is lighter for light assembly work.

Is it worth it over a cheaper brushed drill?

The brushless motor, metal chuck, two speeds and 5-year warranty are the main upgrades. If you already own Hercules 20V batteries, the tool-only format keeps it a sensible step up.

What is included in the box?

The drill and a detachable auxiliary side handle. Battery, charger and bits are sold separately.

Our take on the Hercules 20V Lithium Cordless 1/2 in. Compact Hammer Drill/Driver – Tool Only

The Hercules 20V Compact Hammer Drill/Driver is a tool-only cordless hammer drill built around a brushless motor rated at 1200 in-lbs of torque. It has a 1/2 in. all-metal ratcheting chuck, two speeds, 14 clutch settings and a hammer mode that runs up to 32,000 blows per minute for drilling concrete. Hercules claims up to 110 concrete holes per charge, and the compact body plus included side handle help in tight overhead work. It suits buyers already on the Hercules 20V battery platform who want one drill for masonry, wood and fasteners. Against pro-brand hammer drills it gives up brand-wide service and accessory depth, but the brushless motor, metal chuck and 5-year warranty are the features that matter.
