DOVAMAN 850W Hammer Drill (corded) with 13mm metal chuck, variable speed up to 3000RPM & 15-piece bit set
Product description
The essentials
If you’re doing DIY that involves anything tougher than timber—like drilling into brickwork or lighter concrete—this DOVAMAN 850W corded hammer drill is built around one simple promise: steady power and fewer interruptions. It’s corded, so you’re not dealing with battery charge cycles mid-job, and the motor is rated at 850W.
On paper, it also ticks a few practical boxes for home use: two switchable modes (hammer and standard drilling), variable speed up to 3000RPM, and a 13mm metal chuck designed to clamp bits firmly. Add in a 15-piece accessory kit and a carry case, and it’s aimed at people who want to start drilling straight away without hunting for separate bits.
That said, it’s worth being realistic about expectations. This is positioned as a DIY hammer drill with a sensible feature set, not a workshop-grade specialist for heavy daily use.
Key features that matter in real DIY
The headline here is the combination of hammer and drill modes. You can switch between them with one button, which is handy when you’re moving between wall fixings and jobs like drilling into wood or metal. For masonry and light concrete, you’d use hammer mode, for wood and metal, drill mode.
Speed control is another point that usually makes a difference once you start working: the drill offers variable speed up to 3000RPM. In practice, that helps you avoid rushing straight into the material at full pace—especially when starting holes.
The chuck and depth control are also designed to reduce frustration. The keyed metal chuck is there to keep bits secured for higher-torque tasks, and there’s a metal depth gauge to help you drill consistent hole depths. That’s particularly useful if you’re repeating the same fixing depth across multiple points.
And for day-to-day comfort, the auxiliary handle is 360° adjustable. More leverage and better control tends to matter with hammer drilling, because you’ll feel the tool working through harder materials.
What you’ll notice day to day
This model is described as being lightweight at 2.1kg. That’s not featherweight, but it’s light enough that long sessions are less likely to leave your arms feeling cooked.
There’s also an anti-vibration handle, plus a lock-on trigger for continuous operation. A lock-on trigger can be a small thing, but it’s the sort of feature you’ll appreciate when you’re drilling repeatedly or working overhead—where keeping your finger on the switch gets tiring.
One small limitation to keep in mind: with any corded drill, your freedom is only as good as your lead length and where your nearest socket is. If you’re regularly working in awkward spots without power access, you may find yourself planning your setup more than you would with a cordless alternative.

What’s in the 15-piece kit (and why it helps)
A big part of the appeal here is that the drill isn’t sold as a bare tool. The included 15-piece accessory set covers multiple bit types for common household tasks, including:
- masonry bits
- HSS bits
- wood bits
- glass/tile bits
- plus hole saws
There’s also a carrying case, so storage and transport are sorted. If you don’t already own a mixed selection of bits, this “grab-and-go” approach can be more cost-effective than piecing everything together after the fact.
Who it suits (and who should look elsewhere)
It makes sense if you’re a DIYer doing wall fixings, basic renovations, and occasional drilling into concrete, brick, or steel. The two-mode design is a practical fit for jobs where you might switch materials within the same project.
It might not be the best match if you’re expecting heavy-duty, frequent hammer drilling day after day. In that kind of use case, you’ll likely want to focus on tools aimed more squarely at demanding professional workloads, rather than a home-focused kit.
You may also want to skip it if you primarily work in places where mains power isn’t convenient. Corded tools are brilliant for consistent output, but they do tie you to power access.
Should you buy it?
Worth considering if you want a corded 850W hammer drill with hammer/drill mode switching, variable speed up to 3000RPM, a 13mm metal chuck, and a depth gauge—plus a mixed 15-piece bit set in a carry case so you can start quickly.
You may want to look past it if your projects are mostly cordless-friendly areas or if you expect continuous hammer drilling at a level beyond typical DIY. The tool should serve most home renovation and repair jobs well, but it’s not positioned as an all-day professional machine.
Mini FAQ
What does the hammer mode do?
Hammer mode is the setting you’d use for masonry and light concrete, as it’s designed to help the drill work through harder surfaces compared with standard drilling.
Can you drill wood or metal with this?
Yes. The drill mode is intended for wood and metal, while hammer mode is for masonry and light concrete.
Is the depth gauge useful?
It’s there to help you drill consistent hole depths, which can save time if you’re repeating fixings.
Does it come with bits?
Yes, it includes a 15-piece accessory kit covering multiple bit types (including masonry, HSS, wood, glass/tile bits) and hole saws.
Is it suitable for long sessions?
The anti-vibration handle, lock-on trigger, and relatively low weight (2.1kg) are all aimed at reducing fatigue during longer DIY tasks—assuming you’ve got a workable power lead setup.
