The D25263K dominates heavy-duty applications with relentless corded power that never fades mid-job.

The SDS-Plus chuck accepts standard rebar bits and the integrated clutch protects your wrists when bits bind.
Contractors drilling 3/8-inch to 1-inch holes daily will appreciate the consistent performance and depth-stop accuracy. While it demands outlet access, the 8-foot cord provides decent reach. This is the tool you grab when failure isn't an option and deadlines matter.
The DEWALT D25263K SDS Rotary Hammer dominates contractor job sites with relentless corded power and best-in-class vibration control for all-day concrete work.
Go cordless if you drill under 30 holes daily or need overhead mobility; stick with corded for high-volume production work and demolition where consistent power matters.
