DeWalt DCH172N 18V XR Brushless 16mm SDS+ Hammer Drill (Body Only)

The DeWalt DCH172N 18V XR Brushless 16mm SDS+ Hammer Drill (Body Only) is an ultra-compact cordless rotary hammer engineered for fast, controlled drilling in concrete, brick, and masonry on professional job sites. Powered by an efficient 18V XR brushless motor, it delivers 1.4J of impact energy, up to 4,980 blows per minute, and a no-load speed of 0-1,060 rpm, giving tradespeople the performance they need for anchors and fixing holes from 4mm to 16mm. Two operating modes—rotary hammer and rotary only—provide versatility for light chiseling, masonry drilling, and precise drilling in wood or metal, while low vibration levels and a lightweight 1.8kg design help reduce fatigue during overhead or extended use. A bright LED work light, SDS-Plus tool holder, and compatibility with DeWalt 18V XR Li-Ion batteries make this hammer drill a flexible addition to existing cordless kits. Supplied as a bare unit, it includes a side handle and belt hook so you can get straight to work with your preferred batteries, charger, and storage solution.

DCH172N-XJ Features:

  • Deliver precise anchor and fixing holes with the ultra-compact 16mm SDS-Plus hammer drill designed for concrete, brick, and masonry.
  • Drive an efficient 18V XR brushless motor to achieve extreme runtime and reduced maintenance on demanding jobs.
  • Harness 1.4J of impact energy and up to 4,980 bpm for fast, controlled drilling in tough materials.
  • Switch quickly between rotary hammer and rotary-only modes to match drilling performance to the task.
  • Work longer in comfort with class-leading low vibration at 8.8 m/s², helping to reduce user fatigue.
  • Access tight or overhead spaces easily thanks to the compact, lightweight 1.8kg body-only design.
  • Illuminate dark work areas with the bright white LED work light featuring a convenient delay function.
  • Secure the tool at height using lanyard-ready tether points and integrated belt hook for safer handling.
  • Maintain consistent power and durability with all-metal gearing and robust XR Li-Ion platform compatibility.
