Product Information

Full details

The DeWalt DCD805N 18V XR Brushless Hammer Drill is an essential power tool for trade professionals and serious DIY enthusiasts who require high-performance drilling and fastening capabilities. Its primary benefit is the advanced brushless motor, which delivers superior power efficiency and an extended tool lifespan compared to brushed models. One important caveat to keep in mind is that this is sold as a 'bare unit,' meaning it does not include a battery or charger in the box; you must already own or purchase compatible DeWalt 18V XR power sources separately.
