Unmatched Freedom in Concrete Coring: The Power of Battery Technology Meets Professional Performance
The Husqvarna DM540i Battery Powered Core Drill Motor represents a significant leap forward in jobsite efficiency, offering professional-grade power without the constraints of cords. Optimized for handheld drilling of diameters up to 3 inches (75 mm), this motor is a versatile workhorse for light reinforced concrete, brick, and lightweight blocks. Its high-performance brushless motor ensures consistent torque for both wet and dry drilling, making it an indispensable tool for plumbing pipes, electrical sockets, ventilation, and air conditioning installations. When paired with the Husqvarna DS 150 drill stand, its capacity extends even further, allowing for precision drilling up to 4 inches (100 mm) in diameter.
Engineered with the operator in mind, the DM540i features exceptional ergonomics with a well-balanced machine body and a lightweight 10.8 lb frame. This makes it the premier choice for drilling in challenging, confined areas such as underneath sinks, in narrow corners, or overhead where traditional corded units are cumbersome. Beyond its physical design, the unit is equipped with built-in connectivity, allowing you to monitor machine location, runtime, and service intervals via Husqvarna Fleet Services™. Utilizing the 36V BLi-X battery system, this drill integrates seamlessly into your existing Husqvarna cordless lineup, providing the flexibility and speed needed to maximize productivity on every project.
