Categories : tools
SKU : WOR-TOO-061
The DEWALT DCD996B 20V MAX XR Brushless Hammer Drill Driver is built for demanding jobs where a standard drill slows you down. Its high-efficiency brushless motor delivers up to 75% more runtime versus brushed 18V NiCad motors, and the 1/2-inch ratcheting nitro-carburized metal chuck with carbide inserts holds bits with serious gripping strength. This tool-only version lets you pair it with the 20V MAX batteries you already own.
Whether you're boring into wood, driving lag screws, or hammering into masonry, the DCD996B gives you control with a 3-speed transmission. The 3-mode LED knocks down shadows in crawlspaces and cabinets, and the spotlight mode includes a 20-minute shutoff so you can keep working hands-free in dark areas.
Battery and charger are sold separately, so you can invest in the drill body alone and keep your current 20V MAX system.

The brushless motor in the DCD996B uses power more efficiently than brushed designs, so you get more work per charge. It's also more compact and runs cooler, which means longer tool life on the job.
Use low speed for heavy-duty driving or large-diameter hole saws, medium speed for standard drilling and driving, and high speed for light drilling and fast fastening. The hammer mode is reserved for masonry.
The ratcheting nitro-carburized chuck with carbide inserts digs into the hex or round shank of a bit, reducing slipping and providing longer chuck life. This is especially useful when driving large-diameter bits or doing repetitive work.
Yes, it works with all DEWALT 20V MAX lithium-ion batteries, including compact and XR packs.
Yes, the hammer function is designed for masonry and concrete when used with carbide-tipped masonry bits.
The DCD996B tool only; battery and charger are sold separately.
The 3-speed gearbox is adjusted with the collar behind the chuck.
Yes, spotlight mode shuts off after 20 minutes to save battery.












Drills through concrete.
This hammer drill is a beast. I drilled into brick easily.
I've been in construction for 45 years, and this is the best hammer drill I've used. The three-speed settings give me excellent control. The ratcheting chuck grips bits firmly. The LED lights up dark spaces, which is a big plus. It's powerful enough for masonry work. The battery lasts a long time with the XR brushless motor. A top-tier tool.
Great drill. I used it for a shelf project. It's not too heavy.
Powerful tool.
My husband is a contractor and he swears by this drill. He uses it daily for drilling into concrete and steel. He says it's comfortable to handle even after hours of work. The three-speed gearbox is useful for different tasks. The LED light is bright and helps in dark crawlspaces. He's very pleased with the performance.
Good drill. Has plenty of power. I like the grip.
Very strong.
This drill is amazing for the price. It drills through block like nothing. Battery life is decent.
I do a lot of DIY and this is my favorite tool now. It's versatile. I use it for drilling, driving screws, and even mixing paint with a paddle. The hammer function is strong. It's a bare tool, so I had to buy a battery, but it was worth it. I recommend it to anyone who needs a heavy-duty drill.
Top notch.
Real good drill. It's heavy, but that's fine. Works great.
