The DCH253 18V XR SDS-Plus Hammer Drill – 2×4.0Ah High Performance is a professional-grade cordless rotary hammer kit packed with power, durability, and versatility for demanding construction, renovation, and installation tasks. Built on DeWalt’s trusted 18V XR battery platform, this SDS-Plus hammer drill delivers fast, efficient drilling and chiselling in tough materials like concrete, brick, block, stone, and masonry — all with the freedom of cordless operation.
Equipped with a brushless motor, the DCH253 maximises efficiency by reducing internal friction and heat, giving you longer runtime, smoother performance, and extended tool life compared with brushed versions. The SDS-Plus chuck system allows quick and secure bit changes while effectively transferring impact energy to the bit for rapid drilling and chiselling.
Supplied with two 4.0Ah XR lithium-ion batteries and a fast charger, this kit gives you plenty of power and runtime to tackle full days on site without frequent battery swaps. The high-capacity batteries deliver consistent performance from the first hole to the last, making it ideal for professionals and serious DIY users alike.
This hammer drill provides three operating modes — rotary drilling, hammer drilling, and chiselling — so you can easily adapt to the job at hand. Whether fixing anchor bolts, drilling services holes, or chiselling channels and tiles, the DCH253 gets the job done quickly and reliably.
Ergonomically designed for comfort and control, the tool features a balanced, robust body with a soft-grip handle that reduces user fatigue during extended use. A variable-speed trigger gives you precise control over drilling speed, while the on-tool LED light improves visibility in dim workspaces and confined areas.
Packaged in a durable carry case, the DCH253 provides a complete, portable solution for professional tradespeople on the move.
This hammer drill kit is ideal for builders, electricians, plumbers, contractors, groundworkers, renovators, and maintenance engineers who require durable cordless power for drilling and chiselling in concrete and masonry.
Traditional corded hammer drills restrict movement and depend on nearby power sources. The DCH253 frees you from cables while still delivering high-impact drilling and chiselling power, improving efficiency and flexibility on site.
Basic rotary hammers often lack power, efficient motor design, and battery endurance. The DCH253 stands out with its brushless motor efficiency, robust SDS-Plus impact system, high-capacity batteries, and professional build quality, ensuring reliable performance and longevity that budget alternatives can’t match.
Are the batteries included?
Yes — two 18V 4.0Ah XR batteries and a charger are included in the kit.
What materials can this drill handle?
It’s designed for concrete, masonry, brick, stone, and block work.
What is SDS-Plus?
SDS-Plus is a chuck system that allows quick, secure bit changes and efficient impact energy transfer.
Is this suitable for professional use?
Yes — it’s built for trade environments and demanding construction tasks
