DeWALT 1-1/8 in. SDS Plus D-Handle Rotary Hammer Kit brings together a durable German-engineered mechanism and SHOCKS Active Vibration Control technology in a single, jobsite-ready package - giving contractors and tradespeople a corded electric rotary hammer capable of handling demanding drilling and chipping applications with reduced user fatigue. Delivering 3.0 joules of impact energy and driven by an 8.5 amp motor, this SDS Plus rotary hammer kit is built for professionals who need reliable, high-output performance in concrete, masonry, and similar materials day after day.

Key Features

• 3.0 joules of impact energy - delivers fast drilling and chipping speed through concrete and masonry, reducing application time on demanding jobsite tasks
• 8.5 amp high-performance motor producing 700 UWO - maintains consistent power output under load so work does not slow down when conditions get tough
• SHOCKS Active Vibration Control (a Perform and Protect feature) - reduces vibration felt by the user at the handles, lowering fatigue during extended use and supporting healthier long-term tool operation
• Rotating brush ring delivers full power and torque in forward and reverse - ensures no loss of performance when reversing direction, adding versatility to drilling and chipping tasks
• Integral clutch reduces sudden, high torque reactions if the bit jams - protects the user from unexpected wrist strain and helps prevent tool damage during difficult material encounters
• Variable speed control up to 1,450 RPM with 5,350 impacts per minute - lets the operator match drilling speed to the material and application for greater accuracy and material control
• Keyless SDS Plus chuck with D-ring handle - enables fast, tool-free bit changes and a secure two-handed grip for improved control during heavy-duty rotary hammer use
• Reversible operation - adds flexibility for extraction and repositioning without switching tools
• Compatible with D25301D drilling dust extraction system - supports cleaner worksites and helps manage airborne dust when drilling overhead or in enclosed spaces
• 2-year free service included - provides peace of mind and reduces downtime caused by unexpected maintenance costs

Why This Product

• Built-in vibration control for all-day use - the SHOCKS Active Vibration Control technology actively reduces vibration at the handles, making this rotary hammer a practical choice for contractors working long shifts where cumulative user fatigue is a real concern
• A complete, portable kit - packaged with a kit box, 360 deg. side handle, and depth rod, this hammer arrives ready to work without requiring additional accessory purchases before getting on the jobsite
• German-engineered mechanism for proven durability - the internal mechanism is engineered to withstand the repetitive impact stress of rotary hammer work, supporting long tool life in professional environments
• Integral clutch safety protection - by limiting sudden torque reactions when a bit jams, this feature makes the tool safer for users working in confined or awkward positions where a sudden kickback could cause injury

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SHOCKS Active Vibration Control and how does it help the user?

SHOCKS Active Vibration Control is a Perform and Protect feature that actively reduces the vibration felt by the user at the handles during operation. By dampening handle vibration, it helps lower user fatigue during extended drilling and chipping sessions, supporting greater productivity and more comfortable tool use over the course of a workday.

What type of chuck does this rotary hammer use, and does it require a key to change bits?

This rotary hammer uses an SDS Plus chuck sized at 1-1/8 in. The chuck is keyless, meaning bits can be inserted and removed quickly without the need for a separate chuck key - saving time during bit changes on the jobsite.

Is this rotary hammer compatible with a dust extraction system?

Yes. This rotary hammer is compatible with the D25301D drilling dust extraction system, which can help manage airborne dust when drilling in concrete or masonry - particularly useful when working overhead or in enclosed areas where dust control is important.

What does the integral clutch do and why does it matter?

The integral clutch is a safety feature that reduces sudden, high torque reactions if the drill bit jams in the material. Without a clutch, a jammed bit can cause the tool body to spin violently, potentially injuring the operator. The clutch limits this reaction, making the tool safer to use - especially in tight or awkward working positions.
