About this product
The DeWalt DCH481 is a 54V FlexVolt cordless SDS Max rotary hammer drill, supplied as a bare unit with no battery, charger or case. It uses a brushless motor for efficient performance and reduced maintenance, aiming to match corded machine output.
It offers three modes: rotary hammer drilling, rotation stop for chiselling, and impact stop for rotary-only drilling, including dry diamond coring. It is suited to drilling anchors and fixing holes in concrete, brick and masonry up to 40mm diameter, with breakthrough capacity of 65mm and core drilling up to 100mm.
An anti-rotation system cuts power if loss of control is detected. It has a bright white LED with a delay feature, low vibration, and a compact, ergonomic design. No load speed is 540rpm, impact energy 6.1J, and the tool weighs 5.4kg.
