DeWALT Hammer Drills
Choosing a DeWALT Hammer Drill
A DeWALT hammer drill adds a percussion mode for drilling brick, block, and concrete, and still works as a standard drill driver. Most models here are 20V MAX: XR brushless 3-speed drills like the DCD996, DCD998, and DCD1007, compact DCD805 and DCD798 drills, and the ATOMIC DCD709. The DCD999 adds FLEXVOLT Advantage, the DCD797 adds Tool Connect, and the XTREME 12V MAX DCD706 is the smallest option. A corded DWD520 and combo kits with an impact driver are also listed.
What to Look For
- How much masonry you drill. Occasional anchor holes suit a compact or ATOMIC model. Frequent drilling in block and concrete calls for an XR 3-speed drill.
- Speed settings. 3-speed models let you run low speed for large bits and high speed for small holes.
- FLEXVOLT Advantage. The DCD999 runs on 20V MAX batteries and gains power when paired with a FLEXVOLT battery.
- Kit options. POWERPACK, POWERSTACK, and 2-tool kits bundle batteries and an impact driver.

DeWALT Hammer Drills FAQ
What is the difference between a hammer drill and a rotary hammer?
A hammer drill uses a standard chuck and a light percussion action for occasional masonry holes. A rotary hammer uses SDS bits and a piston-driven blow for repeated or larger holes in concrete. This collection includes a few SDS hammers, and the full range is under DeWALT rotary hammers.
What warranty covers DeWALT hammer drills?
DeWALT power tools labeled with its standard warranty include a 3-year limited warranty, a 1-year free service contract, and a 90-day money-back guarantee. Some products carry a 7-year limited warranty instead. The terms stated on each product apply.
