DeWalt hammer drills that power through concrete and masonry
Need a drill that'll punch through concrete footings and masonry walls without breaking a sweat? DeWalt hammer drills deliver the percussive power that tradies and serious DIYers rely on for demanding drilling tasks. Whether you're a concreter setting anchor bolts, a sparkie chasing walls, or a chippy drilling into brick veneer, these tools handle the tough stuff.
DeWalt's range covers everything from compact 18V models perfect for overhead work to heavy-duty corded units that'll chew through the hardest substrates. The brushless motor technology in many models delivers longer runtime and increased durability, while the SDS chuck system makes bit changes quick and secure on site.
You'll find both cordless and corded options to match how you work. The 18V brushless models give you freedom to move around scaffolding and tight spaces, while corded versions provide consistent power for extended drilling sessions. DeWalt's 54V range steps up the game for heavy-duty applications that demand maximum impact energy.

DeWalt Hammer Drill FAQs
What's the difference between a drill and a hammer drill?
A standard drill only rotates the bit, while a hammer drill adds a percussive hammering action that helps break through hard materials like concrete and masonry. This hammering motion, combined with rotation, makes drilling into brick, stone, and concrete much faster and easier. Regular drills struggle with these materials and can overheat or burn out when forced to work beyond their capabilities.
Which DeWalt hammer drill is best for concrete?
For concrete work, the DeWalt brushless models offer the best combination of power and runtime. The 18V brushless versions handle most concrete drilling tasks efficiently, while the 54V models provide maximum impact energy for heavy-duty applications. Corded models deliver consistent power for extended concrete drilling sessions without battery limitations.
Can you use a hammer drill as a regular drill?
Yes, most DeWalt hammer drills have a drill-only mode that disables the hammering action. This lets you use them as regular drills for wood, metal, and plastic. Their versatility makes them ideal for tradies who need one tool to handle both standard drilling and masonry work. Just switch the mode selector to drill-only when working with softer materials.
How long do DeWalt 18V batteries last in hammer drills?
Battery life depends on the material you're drilling and the battery capacity. With a 5.0Ah battery, expect around 100-150 holes in concrete block or 50-80 holes in harder concrete. The DeWalt brushless models extend runtime by up to 30% compared to brushed motors. For all-day concrete work, having spare batteries or choosing corded options ensures uninterrupted productivity.
