Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is this drill brushless? No, the DX155 features a high-quality brushed motor specifically designed for reliable industrial performance and easier maintenance in the long term.

2. How fast does the charger work? The included 4A rapid charger is highly efficient, typically charging the 2.0Ah battery in approximately 30 to 40 minutes.

3. What is the difference between DX155 and DX155.1? The main difference is the battery count: the standard DX155 comes with one 2.0Ah battery, while the DX155.1 comes as a kit with two 2.0Ah batteries.

4. Can I use this for heavy concrete drilling? The hammer function is excellent for masonry and brickwork. However, for structural concrete or drilling large diameter holes into stone, an SDS-Plus rotary hammer (like the Einhell TC-RH 620 4F) is recommended for better efficiency.
