With an innovative design that delivers 1.7 ft./lbs. of impact energy for fast, effective penetration and the convenience of cordless power at the same time, the DeWalt DC212KA 18-Volt SDS Hammer is a truly heavy-duty tool for use completing tough tasks. Optimized for drilling common 1/4 and 1/2-inch holes in concrete, this SDS hammer offers a maximum drilling capacity of 7/8-inch. And because working with concrete and other hard materials can take a toll on you over time, this tool makes use of DeWalt's patented SHOCKS Active Vibration Control to ensure improved comfort and protect your body. Additionally, the factory-set clutch protects you from absorbing a high-torque reaction if the bit ever jams. With variable speed performance, a convenient reverse switch, and a compact body that is just 10.5 inches long to fit in tight spaces, this tool provides the versatility you need, and it comes with two XRP extended-run batteries, a one-hour charger, and a durable carrying case for easy transport.The DEWALT DC212KA SDS rotary hammer blasts holes up to 7/8 -inch diameter through dense rock, solid concrete, and virtually any other masonry material with lightning speed - and surprising ease. This ultra-heavy-duty, 18-volt tool produces an impressive 1.7 ft-lbs. of impact energy, resulting in corded power without the cord. The high-performance, commercial-grade motor drives the bit at 0-1,100 RPM, and 0-4,100 blows per m-inch The variable-speed, reversing switch provides precise control throughout use, and an electro-pneumatic hammer mechanism ensures fast penetration with very low vibration. Users will also appreciate the factory-set clutch that greatly reduces sudden, high-torque reactions if a bit jams in the hole. Other features include: a 360-degree rotating side handle for maximum control; an adjustable depth rod for consistently boring exact-depth holes; and a compact, L-shaped design that fits into tight spaces that are inaccessible to standard SDS rotary hammers. The DC212KA comes with two 18-volt XRP batteries, one-hour charger, side handle and depth rod and rugged storage case. It’s backed by DEWALT’s three-year limited warranty, 90-day money-back guarantee, and two-year free service contract.

MunckI have been using a corded sds hammer drill for a number of years and have grown tired of lugging an extension cord around jobsites. When I'm working from a 12-foot ladder the extension cord adds significant weight to the drill. Sure; a corded drill hits harder and drills slightly faster, but the disadvantages, at least in my opinion, outweigh the advantages, thus making a battery hammer-drill a viable choice. And in my case the 18 volt model was the logical choice ... I already use a DeWalt 18-volt drill/driver and have plenty of batteries (as well as a 15-minute charger). I can charge five batteries in the evening, carry them with me to work and not have to worry about running out of power all day long. I seldom drill anything larger than 1/4", so I get a lot of holes out of a single charged battery. This is one of the lightest sds battery drills available, too. If you are lucky enough to do all your drilling in a single location, or if you anticipate doing a lot of chipping or drilling large holes, then go for a corded drill: you'll be glad you did. If your job requires you to move around a lot and/or climb ladders, you will soon appreciate this drill.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Fast WorkBy GWEThis hammer drill made quick work of installing 600ft of conduit on a 600psi concrete building, it does ten to go through batters but worth the light weight and ability to drill one handed. It is a huge improvement over the 18V drill-driver type hammer drills.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Great hammerdrill, good power for its sizeBy Brandon GiesingerThis product works great, much better than a different company's 18 volt rotary hammer, although it lacks a chipping or hammer only function. However to be fair SDS+ isn't meant for heavy chipping applications, if you need to do alot of chipping get a spline drive or SDS MAX, they work so much faster. I cannot accurately say exactly how many holes I get per charge because I drill various hole sizes (3/16"-3/4"). Sometimes I will use thin-walled core bits, but for the large sizes I usually bring out the corded hammerdrill, this one will drill the hole but it is hard on it. overall a great drill.See all 5 customer reviews...
