Overview

This brushless hammer drill runs on an 18 volt, 8 amp battery system at up to 2000 RPM and weighs 3.4 pounds. It was bought more than 50 times in the past month and carries a 4.5 star rating across 114 reviews.

A brushless motor typically means less heat and longer motor life than a brushed equivalent, plus better efficiency from the same battery charge. At 2000 RPM and 3.4 pounds, this sits in line with a general purpose cordless hammer drill built for both driving and light masonry work rather than a heavy duty rotary hammer.

  • 18 volt, 8 amp battery
  • 2000 RPM top speed
  • 3.4 pound tool weight

Who it's for

Well suited to a homeowner or tradesperson who wants one cordless drill for driving screws, drilling wood and metal, and occasional light masonry with the hammer function. Someone doing daily heavy concrete drilling will want a dedicated rotary hammer instead.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Brushless motor for efficiency
  • Light at 3.4 pounds
  • Hammer function for light masonry
  • Over 50 purchases in the past month
What to check first
  • Not a substitute for a dedicated rotary hammer

Performance notes

The brushless motor should run cooler and more efficiently than a brushed motor pulling the same 8 amps, which typically translates to more work per battery charge. At 3.4 pounds it stays light enough for overhead driving, while the 2000 RPM top speed and hammer function cover general drilling plus occasional masonry.
