Equipped with a powerful brushless motor, this DeWalt hammer drill reaches a top speed of 2,000 RPM, a nice step up from the non-XR version’s 1,650 RPM. It also delivers up to 34,000 BPM in hammer mode, compared to the non-XR version’s 28,050 BPM, allowing it to punch through brick, stone, and other masonry more efficiently.
At the same time, this DeWalt hammer drill is surprisingly compact for a tool that packs so much power. Its head is only about 7 inches long, which can help you maneuver it into tight spaces with ease. It also features a ratcheting metal chuck that boosts durability and bit retention, plus an adjustable three-position LED light that brightens dark spaces.
“I absolutely love this drill and find myself reaching for it more than my other drills these days,” one reviewer wrote. “It’s lightweight for working overhead and small, so I can get it into tight spaces.”
“It squeezes tons of power into a compact design,” another reviewer remarked. “When paired with a 5Ah battery, it feels very well-balanced in my hand, and it goes through concrete, no problem.”
