Does it drill into concrete?

Yes, it has a hammer mode for light masonry such as brick and block. For heavy concrete, a dedicated rotary hammer is the better tool.

What battery does it use?

It runs on Metabo HPT MultiVolt batteries. The same pack powers 18V tools and, in the 36V setting, doubles runtime on MultiVolt tools.

Yes. The brushless motor helps with runtime and motor life compared with brushed drills.

What is Reactive Force Control?

A gyro sensor detects sudden rotation from a binding bit and cuts power to reduce kickback. It is a safety feature for high-torque drilling.

What comes in the box?

That depends on the kit you pick. Some bundles include a battery and charger, others are tool-only, so check the listing before buying.

How does it compare with the previous model?

It offers more torque and speed than earlier Metabo HPT 18V hammer drills, plus kickback control and MultiVolt battery sharing.

Our take on the Metabo HPT 18V Cordless Hammer Drill, 1/2-In, DV18DCQ4

The Metabo HPT DV18DCQ4 is an 18V brushless 1/2-inch hammer drill with three modes: drilling, driving and hammer drilling into masonry. It stands out with 1,240 in-lbs of max torque, 2,000 RPM and a gyro-based Reactive Force Control that cuts kickback when a bit binds. It is compact for tight spaces and runs on the MultiVolt system, so one battery works on 18V and 36V tools. Rivals in its class offer similar three-mode layouts, but few pair this torque with kickback control and cross-voltage battery sharing.
