Overview
A homeowner drilling wood or metal gets a pistol-style hammer drill kit from DeWALT, with two speed ranges and a mains-voltage motor. Drill type is listed as hammer drill, so a percussion mode is part of the tool.
The reason to look at it is the pairing of hammer action with two speeds and a chuck sized for different bit materials. Torque is given in newton meters, not the inch-pounds many buyers compare. The listing names the kit but does not itemize what is in it.
Who it's for
A garage bench where holes in wood and metal are the routine job. The two speed ranges let the user match the drill to the material. Anyone drilling very large holes in thick steel should check the listed capacities first.
Pros and cons
- Hammer drill type
- Two speed ranges
- Wood and metal capacities both listed
- Torque rating given
- Power source entry is unclear
- Kit contents only named, not itemized
- Chuck type (keyed or keyless) not listed
Performance notes
Hammer action adds a pounding motion to the rotation, which helps a bit advance in hard material, while the two speeds trade turning speed against turning force. The motor rating and the chuck limit decide which bit sizes are practical. Wood and metal capacities are rated separately.

Frequently asked questions
How does the DeWALT DWD520K get set up for use?
The listing has no setup steps. It describes a pistol hammer drill kit with a chuck rated to 13 millimeters and a 120 volt, 10 amp motor rating, so confirm the chuck style on arrival before choosing bits.
Is the DeWALT DWD520K a cordless drill?
The listing shows a 120 volt and 10 amp rating and no battery data, so it is not described as a battery drill. The power source field reads hand powered, which conflicts with those ratings.
