The DCH481X2 60-Volt MAX Brushless 1-9/16 in. SDS MAX Combination Hammer is a lightweight high-performance hammer that is powered by a DEWALT brushless motor and durable German engineered mechanism. The DCH481 delivers 6.1 joules of impact energy for fast drilling, even in the hardest concrete. The lightweight design makes it ideally suited for horizontal serial drilling for #4 to #8 rebar, dry coring and chipping in any mid to upper wall and ceiling application. The patented E-Clutch, system provides enhanced control to the user in a bind up situation and can help minimize sudden torque reaction compared to standard clutches. The Active Vibration Control, technology employed delivers reduced user vibration for less user fatigue and greater productivity. With its balanced design, SHOCKS, Active Vibration Control, technology and Extreme Run Time, this hammer is ideally suited for all day use, even in the hardest concrete.
- 6.1 joules of impact energy provides corded power without the cord
- E-clutch for maximum control in bind-up situations – a perform and protect feature
- SHOCKS – active vibration control reduces vibration felt by the user at the handles, a perform and protect feature
- DEWALT built brushless motor for all day runtime and durability

I bought this almost a month now, but I didn’t have a chance to test it out until last Saturday. This impact wrench works very very well, I removed lug nuts on four tires of my Camry and the batter was still strong, didn’t have to switch to another battery. It is a very powerful tool, well built, didn’t take long to remove lug nuts. I didn’t have to use my energy to take of the lug nuts. Strongly recommend this.

Had this impact wrench for over a year now and it’s still going strong. I’ve always used Porter Cable power tools and find them to be very good tools for the price. Naturally when time came for me to upgrade to a higher quality impact, I went with Dewalt. I’ll start by saying this impact wrench is as good as it gets in terms of build quality, handling, ergonomics, power, torque, and range of features. I know a lot of folks hail from the Milwaukee camp, but I can say with confidence Dewalt is a better thought-out engineered impact wrench. For example, the power on the 3 modes are equally distributed, meaning mode 2 is twice the power of mode 1, and mode 3 is twice the power of mode 2. So if mode 1 is at 100%, then mode 2 would be around 200%, and mode 3 at around 400%. This even power/torque distribution across the 3 modes is what makes this impact wrench so well engineered. What you don’t want is sudden power spikes. I’m going to straight call out the Milwaukees 2767 impact wrench for having an uneven power output where mode 1 and 2 are pretty much useless but then mode 3 goes full-on max Thor Hammer! After using the Dewalt and comparing it to other brands, I can confidently say that it has more finesse and control. The elctronics controlling the power output works beautifully. The feel of this tool is quality, well built, hefty and powerful but not in anyway a hinderance to the job. It’s big but not bulky, powerful but not brutal, heavy but not debilitating. Another thing I like about the Dewalt is how the brushless motor spins quieter and more refined than the Milwaukee. With the Milwaukee 2767, you do feel power when the motor spins (with no load) but it’s an uncontrolled raw kind of power. To be fair, some people might prefer that. They might like the “macho-ness” of Milwaukee’s brute force because it impresses a certain kind of user. Having said that, I personally prefer the sophisticated finesse of the Dewalt. And don’t let Dewalt’s 1,200 ft./lbs of breakaway torque mislead you because its little less than Milwaukee’s 1,400 ft./lbs nut busting torque. This Dewalt delivers what it promises and more! I have both the Dwalt and Milwaukee impact wrenches and I use them side by side and they are equally powerful at mode 3 max torque. There’s nothing the Dewalt can’t bust loose – lug nuts, brake pads and rotors, crank shafts, CV axles, contral arms, ball joints, wheel bearings, etc, etc., you name it. I highly recommend this Dewalt impact wrench if you care to have something more than just pure unadulterated power, which it has plenty!

Purchased this just a short while ago and have already drilled hundreds of re-rod holes, chiseled old cemented in steel posts and chisled certain post hole areas(old cement or large rocks). Did an amazing job. If I had one thing to comment against besides the price is that it is hefty. This is not a light weight tool. Most of my jobs have lasted two hours at a time and sometimes two or three jobs in a day. The Flexvolt really holds a charge. I am so far very pleased will write again only if it doesn’t hold up.

You can put away your air wrench. Just finished disassembling a boat lift that had some very corroded bolts and had absolutely no problems. Since the lift was out of the water I opted to not use the detent pin in the socket hole. If you use the detent you will need to depress the pin in order to remove the impact socket. This thing is so powerful you need to be careful in tightening that you don’t twist the fastener off. The tool is heavy but boy will it do the job. Would definitely recommend this tool.

I bought this impact a while back and its been extremely useful. The only complain I have on it is that the bottom impact rubber protector (the one below the grip handle) doesn’t protect the battery. When the impact is laid down on its side, the top two rubber protectors do help but on the bottom side the battery makes contact with the surface before the rubber protector does. I have noticed that the battery fits loose and that is the cause of it.

Really fantastic Impact wrench. It is light and powerful, I’ve used it on my SUV to get old rusted bolts off and it removed them with ease. I’m actually surprised at how light it is, I thought it was going to be heavier, so that was a good surprise as well.

This sds max roto hammer will not dissapoint. There have been times where it sticks while drilling into concrete and i have been able to get it out no probled despite the lack of having a reverse option. By the time someone pulls out a cord and moves the stuff by the generator exhaust i am well on my way 15-20 holes into my work. That is a huge benefit! Plus they have to put the cord and stuff away. Ni more risk of running iver those expensive $100-150$ cords either. If you have other flexvolt tools and batteries this one is a no brainer for the concrete contractor or dedicated worker. It drills faster than the Bosch due to more rpm’s and is just as powerful at about 4-4.5 ft lbs of impact or 7 joules. They will be releasing a 13.3 joule or about 8 ft lbs sds max soon and i cant wait to give that a go. Does well with digging spade bit and the chipping bit works great to drive next to stakes for removal or green concrete that is on the wring side of the form. Hope this heps

a great timesaver and bodysaver works well . exceeds my expectations. used for a couple of weeks glad I got it

This roto-hammer is real good. The only downside I have found is that there is no reverse, to back out of getting caught in rebar or something else. Other than that It is a really great roto-hammer, It drills the concrete for all of my retro-fitting needs. And it does have enough power for the job.
