The DCH273 18V XR Brushless SDS Hammer Drill – Body Only Tool is a professional-grade cordless rotary hammer designed for tradespeople and serious DIY users who need powerful drilling and chiselling performance without the constraints of a cord. Built on DeWalt’s 18V XR platform and featuring a brushless motor, this hammer drill delivers efficient power, long runtime, and extended tool life — ideal for construction, demolition, and renovation work.
Whether you’re drilling into concrete, masonry, brick, or stone, or chiselling out channels and fixtures, the DCH273 handles tough applications with confidence. The SDS (Slotted Drive System) chuck provides fast, secure bit changes and optimal impact transfer, giving you maximum efficiency with minimal slippage or wear.
The brushless motor improves efficiency and run time by reducing internal friction and optimising battery power output. This means more work per charge and less heat build-up for consistent performance throughout prolonged use — perfect for site work, overhead drilling, and heavy fixings.
Ergonomics are a standout feature of this tool. The well-balanced body and comfortable grip reduce user fatigue during extended use, while the variable speed trigger gives you smooth control during start-up and precise drilling. The hammer drill also features an integrated LED light to illuminate dark work areas for improved accuracy and safety.
Because this is a body only unit, it’s ideal for users who already own DeWalt 18V XR batteries and chargers, offering excellent value and compatibility within the XR ecosystem.
The DCH273 is perfect for builders, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, decorators, concrete workers, and renovation specialists who need a cordless hammer drill that performs like a mains-powered tool while offering the mobility and convenience of battery operation.
Traditional corded hammer drills restrict movement and depend on nearby mains power. The DCH273 eliminates that limitation with cordless freedom while delivering high-impact drilling and chiselling — saving time and effort on site and in workshops.
Budget hammer drills often lack power, reliability, and durability. The DCH273 features a brushless motor for efficiency and longer life, robust SDS chucks for secure bit holding, and a design built for professional daily use, making it far superior to lower-end tools.

No — this listing is for the body only. Compatible 18V XR batteries are sold separately.
What materials can it drill?
It’s designed for concrete, brick, stone, and other masonry, and also supports chiselling.
Does it use SDS bits?
Yes — it uses an SDS chuck system for fast, secure bit changes.
Is it suitable for heavy-duty work?
Yes, it’s built for professional and demanding applications
