Sometimes, a simple drill is the best tool for the job. However, just like an average pair of sneakers won’t hold a candle to the best work boots in a construction setting, a simple drill can’t compete with the power and capabilities of a hammer drill, especially when that drill is a bestselling DeWalt tool. That’s why we’re excited to see one of DeWalt’s cordless rotary hammers selling for 41% off at Amazon.
The DeWalt 20V Max SDS Rotary Hammer Drill is now just $147, down over $100 from its regular price of $249. This is a seasonal low price on the tool that has earned the No. 1 bestseller spot for Power Rotary Hammers and has sold over 800 units in the past month alone. Additional accolades include over 1,600 five-star Amazon ratings and a rare 4.8 overall review score.

This is a tough DeWalt 20V tool, which, like many of its professionally used tools, has a brushless motor for a long lifespan. Using a simple dial, you can choose between the three operating modes—pure hammer, rotary drill and hammer, or pure drill—which are all strong enough to break through tough concrete. It features dual handles and a depth rod for ultimate control and precision drilling, even through the toughest of materials. This is a “bare tool only” deal, so make sure you have DeWalt 20V Max batteries on hand.
One shopper who declared that DeWalt’s rotary hammer was “unbeatable” went into detail about its capabilities. “The hammer isn’t overly heavy, and definitely has the power necessary to destroy concrete when paired with a good chisel,” they said. “You’ll definitely want at least a 5Ah battery for this bad boy. I went with two 6Ah models to be safe. Whether you’re hammer drilling, regular drilling with an adapter chuck, or just plain hammering/chipping, this tool will get the job done.”
Another shopper noted how much of an upgrade the rotary was to a regular drill for difficult projects, “I used to use a masonry bit in a regular 3/4-inch drill to install bookshelves and saddle racks on concrete block walls, and had bruises on my shoulder for weeks afterwards. I should have had this drill years ago, or one like it.” Instead of offering painful resistance, this one “drilled through concrete like butter.”
The DeWalt 20V Max hammer drill is already a bestseller in its product category. Now, with its lowest price of the year of just $147, it may sell out. Be sure to buy yours soon if you want one.
