Product Information

Full details

The DeWALT D024K Percussion Drill is an ideal tool for professional contractors and serious DIY enthusiasts who prioritize a lightweight, compact design for extended drilling tasks in masonry, concrete, and wood. Its primary benefit is the reduction of user fatigue during overhead or repetitive work, though users should note that it features a keyed chuck rather than a keyless system, which may be less convenient for frequent bit changes.

FAQs

Can I use this drill on steel?

Yes, it has a capacity of 13mm in steel, provided you use the drill in standard rotation mode without percussion.

What is the maximum drilling capacity in concrete?

The D024K is rated for drilling up to 16mm in concrete.

Does this drill come with a battery?

No, the D024K is a corded electric drill that requires a standard AC power outlet.

Why does it use a keyed chuck instead of a keyless one?

A keyed chuck provides a more secure grip on the bit, which is beneficial for the high-vibration percussion drilling mode.

Is the side handle adjustable?

Yes, the included multi-position side handle can be adjusted 360 degrees around the drill head for optimal leverage.

Can I drill into ceramic tile with this?

Yes, use a dedicated tile bit and ensure the drill is in standard drilling mode (not hammer) to prevent the tile from cracking.

Troubleshooting

Bit slips during drilling

Ensure the drill bit is fully seated and tightened using all three holes on the keyed chuck to ensure even clamping pressure.

Motor slows or bogs down

Reduce pressure on the drill. The motor is powerful but should be allowed to run at speed; excessive force causes the motor to heat up.

Drill not switching to percussion mode

Ensure the mode selector switch is fully toggled to the hammer icon position; sometimes the gears need a slight rotation to fully engage.

  • Excellent power-to-weight ratio for a 701W motor
  • Highly precise variable speed control
  • Compact design is perfect for confined workspaces
  • Includes a comprehensive accessory kit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the drill for use, insert the side handle onto the collar and rotate to your preferred angle, then attach the depth stop to the handle. Use the provided chuck key to tighten your drill bit securely in the 13mm keyed chuck.

Always ensure the machine is unplugged before changing bits. Keep the air vents clear of dust and debris to prevent the motor from overheating during heavy percussion use. Store the unit in the provided heavy-duty carrying case to protect the keyed chuck and internal components from grit and impact damage when not in use.
