DeWalt 18V XR Heavy Duty SDS-Plus Hammer Drill (DCH253N-XJ)


Introducing the DeWalt DCH253N-XJ cordless SDS Plus drill that features superior vibration control of 6.6m/s² and a cordless, ergonomic design that makes it comfortable for long periods of use. The built-in LED light enables you to use the tool in darker areas and tight corners, and the 18V Li-ion battery improves overall performance and maximises run time. The drill's rotation stop mode is suited for light chiselling in plaster, tiles and renders and its impact stop mode is ideal for rotary only drilling into wood and metal. The DeWalt DCH253N-XJ SDS Drill is a great tool for any professional or DIY applications.

Typical Applications:


Rotary hammer drills can combine rotation with a hammer action, which allows you to drill through tough materials. SDS are used in a similarly way, but the slotted chuck drive system means they are designed to use specialist drill bits. Many models of drills have a mode selection which will allow you to choose between a rotary action, hammer function or both.

Cordless hammer drills are employed in many fields, such as:

• Construction works

• Demolition works

• Plumbing systems installation

• Electrical systems installation

• Carpentry industry
