DEWALT 20V MAX SDS Plus Rotary Hammer Drill, Cordless, 5/8 in., Tool Only (DCH172B), Special Feature-Brushless Motor, Compact

Let's not mince words: the DeWalt 20V MAX SDS+ Rotary Hammer (tool-only or kit) is a game-changer. I have used standard hammer drills for years, thinking they were "good enough." This tool proves that "good enough" is simply wasting time and effort. This rotary hammer is professional-grade power packed into a cordless form factor that is just phenomenal . Proof of Performance: It Kicked Ass on Brick I recently took on a big project building a porch and needed to anchor heavy support brackets directly into an old, tough brick foundation. This is usually a painstaking, vibration-heavy job. With the DeWalt SDS+ and a quality masonry bit, the process was lightning fast. I'm talking drilling perfect, clean holes into solid brick like it was soft wood. The entire mounting process, which I budgeted half a day for, was finished in less than an hour. The power delivery is controlled, yet relentless—it just chews through concrete, mortar, and brick effortlessly. 100% Worth the Investment Since that porch project, I've found a dozen reasons to pull this tool out. From setting concrete anchors for a new fence post to chipping away tile adhesive (using the chipping function), this tool handles it all. The cordless mobility is essential for jobsite use, and the vibration dampening is surprisingly good, meaning you can run it longer without hand fatigue. If you are a DIYer tackling serious masonry, or a professional looking for unmatched cordless drilling efficiency, this tool is 100% worth the price of admission. It performs well above its weight class and will make your toughest tasks feel ridiculously simple. Don't hesitate—buy this hammer.

totally surprised by how well this hammer drill works. Cuts through 20 year old concrete with no trouble and is easy on batteries. I’ve drilled 10 5/16 holes, 3 inches deep with power to spare on a 4 amp hour battery. The weight is also lighter then other drills, a plus when drilling walls.

Drill! "This DEWALT 20V Brushless Rotary Hammer is a beast! It is surprisingly lightweight and compact, making it very easy to handle for overhead work, yet it has incredible drilling power. The brushless motor runs efficiently and the build quality is top-notch. It’s a must-have tool for any professional or serious DIYer."

Used it the last few days drilling about 50, 1/2” holes by 8” depth, in concrete foundation. For me this is all I needed and it got the job done, no complaints 5-star. However, everyone needs to know that this drill is a bit on the light-weight side to drill 1/2” or larger holes. For you folks who work on a professional bases, do your self a favor and get the much heavier duty Dewalt or a Hilti hammer drill.

The drill is good, but I didn't realize that I couldn't use it to chisel when I bought it.. It's still a good deal though.. I just didn't notice that it doesn't chisel... It does mention it in the ad, but I missed seeing it when I ordered it... Thanks.... John

Using a 20 volt 6 hour battery, it cuts out under any load when you pull the trigger all the way. Other than that I like it.

muy buen elemento , es rapido y tiene mucha fuerza

Me encanta este taladro, ya cuento con dos. Son muy livianos, cómodos y tienen suficiente fuerza como para perforar concreto sin problema.

Excelente máquina, con suficiente fuerza para trabajos cotidianos, muy compacto y ligero. Con el uso adecuado tendré una máquina por mucho tiempo, siempre respetando sus ciclos de trabajo. No lo he llevado al límite pero con el uso he descubierto que se proteje y se detiene. Lo he utilizado con una batería 4aH y esa me finciona perfecto, tengo mas pequeña y parece que no abastece suficiente en marchas forzadas. Esperemos que con un uso moderado siga funcionando como hasta ahora.

I remember being excited about an $1800.00 hilti cordless hammer drill 20 years ago. Could only do 30 holes 1/4” diameter and 1-1/2” deep. I have 4 Milwaukee hammer drills and 4 DCH273B dewalt hammer drills, and I thought they were good. This little DCH172B is the bomb! The best I have for overhead work, really light, doesn’t hit hard but does it vibrate. The DCH273B will shatter finger nail size concrete in your face as it drives a 1/4” bit in, but the DCH172B rarely shatters the concrete while driving in the drill bit. It’s impressive. BTW that Hilti hammer drill was total garbage, weighed a ton and was just huge.

Dwalt is in the top 3 so no doubt that it's best of the best but i wish i could try it with bigger battery because i didn't feel the power with my 2 Ah battery
