Key Features

4.5 Joules Hits Hard

When the job is concrete drilling or light chipping, impact energy is what matters. The 4.5 J output helps this rotary hammer drill faster in hard concrete so you spend less time leaning on the tool.

Safer, Easier Control

SHOCKS Active Vibration Control helps reduce vibration at the handles, and the Anti-Rotation E-CLUTCH helps shut the tool down in a bind-up. That matters on overhead anchors, repeated holes, and long concrete days.

FLEXVOLT Platform

The DEWALT DCH416B 60V MAX SDS PLUS Rotary Hammer runs on the FLEXVOLT battery platform, giving you cordless freedom for structural anchoring, rod hanging, cable tray mounting, and other concrete work where cords get in the way.

Overview

The DEWALT DCH416B 60V MAX 1-1/4-in. Brushless Cordless SDS PLUS Rotary Hammer is built for concrete drilling and light chipping where speed, control, and cordless mobility matter. This is a rotary hammer designed for drilling and chipping in concrete for structural and commercial fastening work. Model Number DCH416B. If you are setting anchors, hanging rod, mounting strut, or handling attachment work on a jobsite, this is the kind of tool that makes sense because it gives you real rotary hammer performance without dragging a cord around.

The big number here is 4.5 Joules of impact energy, and that is what separates a real jobsite rotary hammer from a standard hammer drill. On concrete, that means faster drilling, less bogging down, and better progress when the material gets dense. DEWALT pairs that output with a brushless motor and a German-engineered mechanism, so you are not just getting raw force, you are getting efficient power delivery and runtime from the FLEXVOLT battery platform.

The midweight design is a smart middle ground for users who need serious concrete capability without stepping up to a larger, more tiring demolition-focused tool. DEWALT calls out structural connections, beam and column anchorage, rod hanging, seismic and safety attachments, cable tray and strut mounting, and steel stanchion mounting, and that lines up with where this tool fits best. It is strong enough for repetitive anchor work, but still manageable when you are moving around a site or working at awkward angles.

On the control side, DEWALT did not skip the features that actually matter after hole number fifty. SHOCKS Active Vibration Control helps reduce vibration felt at the handles compared to rotary hammers without that feature. That matters for comfort, but it also matters for accuracy and fatigue over a full day. The Anti-Rotation E-CLUTCH system is there for bind-up situations, shutting the tool down to help protect the user when the bit catches.

This rotary hammer is also set up to be more practical on active jobsites. A rotating dial lets you switch quickly between drilling, hammer drilling, and chipping modes, so you are not fighting the tool when the task changes. When paired with the DWH200D shroud and DCV585 dust extractor, it can meet OSHA Table 1 requirements, which is a big deal for indoor concrete work and occupied spaces. It is also Tag Ready for the DCE041 tag, so crews already using TOOL CONNECT can track it through the DEWALT Site Manager app.

Because this is the bare tool version, it is a better buy for users who already own compatible DEWALT FLEXVOLT batteries and chargers. You get the rotary hammer, a 360 degree side handle, and a depth rod, but no battery or charger. That keeps the cost focused on the tool itself and makes sense for contractors already invested in the platform.

Who should buy it? Concrete contractors, electricians, mechanical trades, facility installers, general contractors, and remodeling crews that regularly drill anchors and attachments into masonry or concrete. It is probably more tool than a casual homeowner needs, but for anyone doing repeat fastening, overhead drilling, or commercial install work, this cordless SDS Plus rotary hammer lands in a very useful sweet spot of power, mobility, and safety-focused control.

Built for Real Concrete Work

This is the kind of setup that makes sense on renovation and commercial work where you need cordless drilling power and better dust control. The tool is sized for anchor and attachment work, not just occasional holes.

• Delivers up to 4.5 Joules of impact energy for fast drilling in concrete
• OSHA Table 1 compliant when paired with the DWH200D shroud and DCV585 dust extractor

Control Matters When the Bit Binds

Concrete work gets sketchy fast when a bit grabs. DEWALT built this tool with the features pros actually want when drilling repeated holes in dense material.

• Anti-Rotation E-CLUTCH system helps shut the tool down in bind-up situations
• SHOCKS Active Vibration Control helps reduce vibration felt at the handles

Switch Modes Without Slowing Down

The rotating dial and included depth rod make this tool easier to set up for repeatable anchor work. That saves time when you are bouncing between drilling, hammer drilling, and light chipping.

• Rotating dial switches between drilling, hammer drilling, and chipping modes
• Includes a 360 degree side handle and depth rod for better positioning and hole consistency
