Overview

Meet the DEWALT 20V MAX XR brushless hammer drill/driver, built to handle demanding fastening and drilling tasks on job sites. The brushless motor delivers efficient performance and longer runtime, while the 1/2-inch metal ratcheting chuck keeps bits secure during high-torque work. This bare tool is designed to pair with DEWALT POWERSTACK and standard 20V MAX batteries, offering flexible power across projects from quick fixes to more involved builds.

Power and control

The tool delivers 0–650 rpm for fasteners and 0–2,000 rpm for drilling, while hammer mode pushes up to 34,000 BPM for masonry tasks. A compact 7-inch profile and well-balanced weight help you work in tight spaces without fatigue. The 3-position, pivoting LED provides up to 70 lumens of illumination, with a 20-minute shutoff to extend usable time in darker work areas.
