Why We Love This Deal
Black Friday has arrived early, at least for those in the market for power tools. Right now, Amazon is posting unbeatable discounts on all kinds of DeWalt tools, including a bestselling circular saw and a bestselling drill and impact driver combo kit. Need even more power for drilling into masonry and concrete? Grab DeWalt’s bestselling hammer drill—Amazon’s price for this highly capable tool beats other major hardware retailers.
Amazon is selling DeWalt’s 20V Max XR ½-Inch Hammer Drill for $116, a 42% discount from its $199 retail price. This powerful tool is the No. 1 bestseller in Amazon’s Hammer Drills category, and Amazon sold over a thousand in just the past month. And you won’t find a better price anywhere else: This deal beats the prices at hardware stores like Acme, Home Depot, and Ace.
DeWalt 20V Max XR ½-Inch Hammer Drill (DCD806B), $116 (was $199) on Amazon
What Shoppers Should Know
- Tool Series: DeWalt 20V Max
- Motor Type: Brushless
- Max Speed: 2000 rpm
Standard drills use an electrical motor to spin the chuck that holds the bit, but hammer drills use electrical power to drive a geared mechanism that moves the chuck with striking or hammering movements (hence the name). The repeated strikes generate more force than a standard drill can muster, which makes hammer drills the preferred choice for drilling holes or driving fasteners into hard materials like concrete, masonry, and dense hardwoods.
This hammer drill, model DCD806B, is DeWalt’s most powerful two-speed model in its 20V Max lineup. The heart of the drill is its brushless motor, which cranks out smooth, efficient power and can spin the drill at up to 2,000 rpm. It also includes some really helpful accessory features, like a built-in LED light for illumination and an anti-rotation system that cuts the power if the bit gets stuck and the drill begins to rotate around it (so it won’t suddenly fly out of your hands when drilling). This is a power-hungry tool, so I’d recommend getting a high-capacity 20V Max battery to go with it. Luckily, Amazon has a set of 6Ah units on sale right now, too.
