Exciting news came from DeWalt during World of Concrete 2019, and it’s something anyone who handles construction can appreciate. Two new cordless rotary hammers have been revealed to the public, and these have technology that will protect the user and improve workflow.
What’s New?
Sometimes, when a company reveals a new tool to the public, it does so individually. Not in this case. DeWalt has given the specs for both their FLEXVOLT 60V MAX 2-Inch Brushless SDS MAX Combination Hammer (DCH773) and their 20V MAX 1-⅛-Inch SDS Plus D-Handle Rotary Hammer (DCH263).
First, talk about the DCH773 Combination Hammer and the new things this machine brings to the construction professional. To help prevent injuries to the users and hand-arm vibration syndrome, the Combination Hammer has integrated E-Clutch and SHOCKS Active Vibration Control. E-Clutch is an anti-rotation system that detects when a tool binds up or stalls during use. The E-Clutch will automatically shut down the tool if necessary, preventing damage to the machine and injury to the user.
Next, this device also features SHOCKS Active Vibration Control technology, which reduces vibration felt by the user. This feature is handy when any tradesperson uses this tool for an extended period. SHOCKS technology prevents the risk of users getting hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), which affects 2 million U.S. workers.
Let’s not forget the other hammer DeWalt released, the DCH263 Rotary Hammer. A compact and lightweight package design for quick movement. Like the DCH773, the SDS Plus D-Handle Rotary Hammer also features SHOCK Active Vibration Control technology. This tool is compatible with an enhanced onboard dust extractor (DWH2205DH) and is OSHA Table 1 Compliant. This attachment makes the rotary hammer tackle silica dust from any drilling, chipping, or cutting it has to do on the job.
Specs
The FLEXVOLT 60V MAX 2-Inch Brushless SDS MAX Combination Hammer achieves 19.4 Joules and 290 RPM for fast and efficient drilling. Running on a high-capacity 12.0 Ah battery for longer runtime and power. The DCH773 tool can go through concrete and is easily adjustable to fit the job. Not to mention that this tool is also Tag Ready and can attach a DeWalt Tag and track its location around the site.
The 20V MAX 1-⅛ – Inch SDS Plus D-Handle Rotary Hammer offers 1,165 RPM and achieves 3.0 Joules in its compact package. Running off a 6.0 Ah high-capacity battery, you get constant speed, high-performance drilling, chippings, and a work light that shines in dark areas. All this is packed in a 5.95-pound machine that is only 15.89 inches long, making it easy to travel on the job site.
Final Thoughts
These two tools were made to make working more comfortable for the user and protect them. From preventive measures to avoiding HAVS and making them compatible with dust extractors that suck up silica dust, these tools will improve the job site. With DeWalt tools, you reduce the risk of injuries with their integrated technology and keep track of your equipment with the DeWalt Tag and Tool Connect System. These are scheduled to be distributed later in the Spring of 2019.
