Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With an electro-pneumatic hammer mechanism that delivers 2.0 ft./lbs. of impact energy for fast, effective penetration and NANO technology providing the convenience of cordless power, the DeWalt DC233KL 36-Volt SDS Rotary Hammer is a versatile heavy-duty tool for use completing tough tasks. With a variable speed, reversing switch that helps you pursue a wide range of drilling and chipping applications, this high-power tool helps you get jobs quickly and accurately. And you can count on long battery life with DeWalt's exclusive NANO-phosphate lithium ion battery cells--each battery offers up to 2,000 charges to save you money. When it comes time to recharge, you'll appreciate the fact that this kit includes a space 36-volt battery and a fast one-hour charger.

Because working with concrete and other tough materials can take a toll on you over time, this tool makes use of DeWalt's patented SHOCKS Active Vibration Control to ensure improved comfort and protect your body. Additionally, the factory-set clutch protects you from absorbing a high-torque reaction if the bit ever jams. With a compact, L-shaped body that is well balanced, this tool makes it easy to work in tight spaces. And it comes with a 360-degree side handle that makes it easy to control, a convenient depth rod, and a durable carrying case for transport.

From the Manufacturer

The DEWALT DC233KL SDS rotary hammer blasts holes up to 7/8 -inch diameter through dense rock, solid concrete and virtually any other masonry material with lightning speed - and surprising ease. This ultra-heavy-duty, 36-volt lithium-ion tool produces an impressive 2.0 ft-lbs. of impact energy, resulting in corded power without the cord. The high-performance, commercial-grade motor drives the bit at 0-1,150 RPM, and 0-4,400 blows per m-inch This versatile model is equipped with three different operating modes: rotary drilling, hammer drilling and chipping. That means, this is the tool to reach for when you’re boring holes through poured-concrete foundation walls, drilling into stone, chipping up dried thinset, or even mixing extra-thick mortar or joint compound. The variable-speed, reversing switch provides precise control throughout use, and an electro-pneumatic hammer mechanism ensures fast penetration with very low vibration. Users will also appreciate the factory-set clutch that greatly reduces sudden, high-torque reactions if a bit jams in the hole. Other features include: a 360-degree rotating side handle for maximum control; an adjustable depth rod for consistently boring exact-depth holes; and a compact, L-shaped design that fits into tight spaces that are inaccessible to standard SDS rotary hammers. The DC233KL comes with two 36-volt lithium-ion batteries, one-hour charger, side handle and depth rod and rugged storage case. (Each battery can be recharged up to 2,000 times.) It’s backed by DEWALT’s three-year limited warranty, 90-day money-back guarantee, and two-year free service contract.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of power in a little package, August 17, 2007

I drill alot of concrete around pools installing automatic pool covers. I can tell you this drill has plenty of power. In fact I don't use it when drilling smaller 1/4 holes as the 36 volt hammer drill is plenty for that. It really shines drilling 1/2" holes in pool decks. Fast and light. I love the 36 volt batteries. They hold there charge for weeks. I was using dewalt 18volt drills which were fine but the batteries would drain so fast and would be dead if I did not keep the charged until I needed them. I just wish they would make a right angle 36 volt drill and a portable fan to keep me cool!

After ordering the 36 volt SDS Drill DC233KL, I started to read all the horror stories associated with the Batteries. when my kit arrived, like so many others it came with a dead battery that would not charge. So off to the local DeWalt repair center to exchange the battery. At the local repair center they had told me that the date code stamped on the battery goes back to the 40th week of 2006!(kit was purchased 01/12/2011) I then decided to call the DeWalt customer service number who was very plesant, picked up very quick and answered all my questions. They had confirmed that the DC233 kit that I had purchased through Amazon.com was what was called "new old stock" and that the kit was manufactured in 2006. I could either exchange the batteries which one is in process now, or send the whole kit back for refund which I probably am going to do. Everyone who purchases any cordless products, check the manufacture date of the batteries/tool to make sure they fall into the range of a "new" battery. I also found the site that the kit was sold through Amazon from, and they had the seal that states that the web store is an approved DeWalt online store. I'm not blaming Amazon for this because I always have quick, and good service from them however, I think once the new battery comes in, I'll send this kit back and purchase a newer manufactured kit. The headline on the description for this DC233KL stated its a "NEW Kit" but I believe its miss leading. Should be listed as "New Old Stock DC233KL manufactured In 2006"

I received the DEWALT DC233KL 36-Volt Lithium Ion Cordless 1-inch SDS Rotary Hammer Kit with NANO Technology on time. But when I tried it, only the Drill functions were working not the Hammer function. I dropped it off at the Dewalt Factory Service Center at 2512 Tripaldi Way in Hayward, Ca to have it fixed. The technician told me that it wasn't a big problem. He said even though it was a new drill, but since the product was an older model, it must have been sitting on the shelf for almost 6 years, and the lubricant had dried out. They are going to fix it free of charge as part of warranty service.
