The UltraCompact series combines power with a very compact and lightweight design. It features innovative brushless motor technology for higher performance, more compact dimensions, and a longer service life. There are two operating functions: drilling and hammer drilling. Enjoy fast drilling progress and long runtime, achieving up to 36 or 87 holes (Ø 6x80 mm) in concrete with an 18 V 2 Ah or 5 Ah XR battery. The AVC anti-vibration system enhances operating comfort and user safety. It includes an electronic motor brake and lanyard ready fall protection for safe machine use at height. The rubberized handle ensures very low weight and a well-balanced design for fatigue-free working, even during long periods of use. A powerful, bright white LED light provides an optimally aligned light cone. Supplied as standard in a T STAK box, this basic model (without batteries and charger) is ideally suited for existing 18 V or 54 V XR FLEXVOLT batteries or for the DEWALT Akku PlusSystem.

Light but powerful device. Just what I needed for smalleer jobs.
Good lil tool only bad point no hammer founion.but compact.
Not grunty enough even for 10mm hole. Disappointing to say the least
Does exactly what I wanted it for. Lots of smaller holes up to 10mm in concrete with ease. Goes for ages on 5ah battery
Small and compact and a sturdy SDS drill, a lot lighter than your usual heavyweight SDS, would recommend.
Good lightweight and powerful
Great Sds rotary drill ..
