DEWALT ATOMIC™ 20V MAX Brushless 5/8" SDS PLUS Rotary Hammer Drill (DCH172B)

The DEWALT ATOMIC™ 20V MAX Cordless Brushless 5/8 in. SDS PLUS Rotary Hammer (DCH172B)* delivers professional drilling performance in an ultra-compact, lightweight design built for demanding jobs in tight spaces. Its brushless motor and durable German-engineered mechanism deliver 1.4 joules of impact energy for fast, efficient drilling in concrete and masonry, while the compact ATOMIC™ profile makes it ideal for overhead work and confined applications.

The SHOCKS Active Vibration Control System helps reduce vibration felt at the handles for improved user comfort during repetitive drilling. A convenient two-mode selector allows quick switching between rotary drilling and hammer drilling, while the SDS PLUS tool holder makes bit changes fast and easy. With speeds up to 1,100 RPM, the DCH172B is an excellent choice for contractors, electricians, installers, and other professionals who need powerful cordless performance without the bulk of a full-size rotary hammer.
