DeWALT DCH273P2T borehammer

The Rotary Hammer DeWALT DCH273P2T is a cordless SDS-plus hammer designed for medium-duty drilling and chiselling in concrete and masonry. It features a brushless 18 V motor that delivers up to 1100 RPM and an impact energy of 2.1 J, enabling efficient drilling up to 24 mm in diameter. With a compact, lightweight design at 3.1 kg and DeWALT's characteristic yellow-and-black housing, the tool balances power and portability for site and renovation work.

Advantages

The brushless motor improves efficiency and runtime while reducing maintenance compared with brushed designs. A 2.1 J impact energy provides reliable performance for drilling anchors, through-holes and fixing points in concrete and masonry. Low vibration emission (6.6 m/s²) and a designed ergonomic grip reduce operator fatigue during extended use. Being battery-powered at 18 V eliminates cords for increased mobility and safer operation in confined or remote locations.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete, brick and blockwork up to 24 mm diameter
• Installing anchors, bolts and fixings on construction sites
• Light chiselling and removal of plaster or tile adhesive
• Renovation and retrofit work where portability is required

How to use

Select an appropriate SDS-plus drill bit for the diameter required and insert it into the chuck until it locks. Set the tool to the hammer drilling mode for concrete or to rotation-only for drilling into softer materials. Hold the rotary hammer with both hands, one on the main handle and the other on the auxiliary side handle, maintain a steady feed pressure and allow the tool to do the work rather than forcing it. For repeated holes, withdraw the bit occasionally to clear dust and improve cutting efficiency. Charge and install a compatible 18 V battery according to manufacturer instructions before operation.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment: safety glasses, hearing protection given the 97 dB noise level, and dust mask when drilling concrete. For best performance, use sharp, correctly sized SDS-plus bits and match the battery capacity to the expected workload. When working overhead or in confined spaces, ensure secure footing and keep bystanders clear of the work area.
