FAQs
What type of drill bits does the DCH072P2-QW use?
This hammer drill uses SDS drill bits, which are specifically designed for rotary hammers and hammer drills.
Is this tool suitable for heavy-duty concrete breaking?

Can I use other DeWALT batteries with this tool?
No, this tool is designed specifically for DeWALT 12V XR batteries. Using other voltage batteries can damage the tool or be unsafe.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the official DeWALT warranty documentation for the specific warranty period applicable in your region.
Does it come with a case?
Product packaging can vary. Please check the product listing or packaging details to confirm if a carrying case is included with your purchase.
Troubleshooting
