Product Information
Full details
The DeWALT 18v XR Brushless Hammer Drill/Impact Driver Twin Kit is designed for professionals and serious DIYers seeking powerful and versatile cordless tools. Its key benefit is offering two essential, high-performance tools—a hammer drill and an impact driver—powered by a single battery system, ensuring efficiency on various job sites. A potential caveat is that this is a bare tools kit, meaning batteries and a charger are sold separately, requiring an existing DeWALT 18v XR battery setup.

FAQs
What batteries are compatible with this kit?
This kit is compatible with all DeWALT 18v XR Lithium-Ion slide-on batteries. Please ensure you have at least one charged battery to operate the tools.
Does this kit come with batteries and a charger?
No, this is a bare tools kit. Batteries and a charger are sold separately. You will need to provide your own DeWALT 18v XR batteries and charger.
What is the difference between the hammer drill modes?
The hammer drill has three modes: drilling (standard rotation), hammer drilling (rotation with impact for masonry), rotation-stop (rotation only for light chiseling), and impact-stop (impact only for drilling wood/metal).
Can I use the impact driver for very large bolts?
The impact driver delivers 170Nm of torque, which is suitable for most common fastening tasks. For extremely large or stubborn bolts, a larger impact wrench may be required.
How do I maintain the tools?
Keep the tools clean by wiping them down after use. Ensure ventilation slots are clear. Store them in a dry place away from extreme temperatures. Periodically check for any damage.
What is the warranty on these tools?
DeWALT typically offers a standard manufacturer's warranty on their tools. Please refer to the DeWALT warranty documentation for specific details regarding coverage and duration.
Can the hammer drill be used for heavy demolition work?
The DCH133 hammer drill provides 2.6J of impact energy, making it ideal for drilling into concrete and light chiseling tasks. For heavy demolition, a dedicated demolition hammer or breaker would be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Tool not powering on
Ensure a fully charged battery is correctly inserted and locked into the tool. Check battery contacts for dirt or damage.
Reduced power or performance
The battery may be low on charge; try a fully charged battery. Ensure ventilation slots are clear of debris that could cause overheating. For the hammer drill, check if the mode selector is correctly set for the task.
Impact driver bit not engaging or slipping
Ensure the 1/4" hex bit is fully inserted into the chuck and the collar is pulled forward to secure it. Check the bit for damage or wear.
Hammer drill not engaging hammer action
Verify that the mode selector is set to the hammer drill position. Ensure the tool is not set to rotation-stop or impact-stop mode.
Overheating during use
Allow the tool to cool down. Ensure ventilation slots are unobstructed and clean. Avoid continuous heavy-duty use beyond the tool's intended capacity.
