Product Information

Full details

The DeWalt DCH033N 18V Brushless SDS Hammer Drill is designed for professionals and serious DIYers needing to drill anchor and fixing holes in concrete, brick, and masonry. Its key benefit is the versatile drilling action, including stopping rotation for light chiseling and impact stop for wood and metal, all within a compact and ergonomic design for extended use. A significant caveat is that this is a bare tool, requiring separate purchase of batteries, a charger, and a case.

FAQs

What is the primary use for this SDS Hammer Drill?

This drill is ideal for drilling anchor and fixing holes into concrete, brick, and masonry. It also features modes for light chiseling and drilling in wood/metal.

Does this product include batteries and a charger?

No, this is a bare tool. Batteries, charger, and case are sold separately.

What type of drill bits does it use?

It uses SDS+ compatible drill bits. The set included provides a range of common bits.

Can I use this for heavy demolition work?

While it has a chiseling mode, its 2.0J impact energy is best suited for light chiseling tasks, not heavy-duty demolition.

How do I switch between drilling and chiseling modes?

There is a mode selector located on the tool body. Turn it to the desired function: drilling (rotation), light chiseling (stopping rotation), or drilling wood/metal (impact stop only).

What is the benefit of a brushless motor?

Brushless motors offer increased efficiency, longer runtimes per charge, and enhanced durability compared to brushed motors, as they have fewer wearing parts.

How do I clean the tool?

Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure ventilation slots are clear of dust, using compressed air if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Drill does not power on.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted into the tool. Check that the battery contacts are clean.

Drill bit not engaging or spinning.

Verify the selected mode is appropriate for the task. Ensure the SDS+ bit is correctly seated and locked in the chuck. Check if the chuck mechanism is clear of debris.

Reduced drilling power or impact.

Check the battery charge level. Ensure the drill bit is sharp and not worn. Clean any debris from the chuck and ventilation ports. Ensure the correct mode is selected.

Overheating during operation.

Allow the tool to cool down. Ensure ventilation slots are clear of obstructions. Reduce the load on the tool or take more frequent breaks.
