DEWALT DCD996B 20V MAX XR Brushless 3-Speed Hammer Drill

Description

Power through demanding drilling, driving, and masonry jobs with the DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless 3-Speed Hammer Drill/Driver. Built for electricians, mechanical contractors, remodelers, and serious DIYers, it combines a high-efficiency brushless motor with a heavy-duty 1/2″ ratcheting chuck to deliver the runtime, torque, and durability pros expect from the DEWALT XR lineup.

The brushless motor produces up to 820 max unit watts out (UWO) of power, giving you the muscle to drive large fasteners, bore holes with self-feed bits, and hammer through concrete, brick, and block. A 3-speed all-metal transmission (0–500 / 0–1,250 / 0–2,000 RPM) lets you match speed and torque to the application — low gear for high-torque driving, high gear for fast drilling in wood and metal. In hammer mode, the drill delivers up to 38,250 BPM for masonry anchor work.

Visibility is handled by a 3-mode LED work light with a 20-minute delayed shutoff, so you can keep working in dim panels, attics, and under cabinets without fumbling for a flashlight. The heavy-duty 1/2″ ratcheting nitro-carburized metal chuck grips bits tight and resists wear on the job site.
