$199.00
SDS-plus is the specification that matters: the bit locks into the chuck and is driven by a piston rather than gripped by jaws, which is why this drills concrete that stops a hammer drill outright.
Full details →Who the DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit is for
Buy it if: Trades and serious renovators who want both tools and batteries worth keeping.

Buy it if: Anyone drilling concrete or masonry regularly, where a hammer drill is the wrong tool.
Avoid it if: General timber and plasterboard work, where a cordless drill driver is faster and lighter.
