Product details

Compact powerhouse. The BHC 18 cordless rotary hammer drills with maximum performance. With vibration dampening, an ergonomic C-shape, and a weight of only 2.5 kg (including the 4.0 Ah Li-HighPower Compact battery pack), it combines high power with low weight – enabling powerful and effortless drilling even in the hardest materials. The brushless, maintenance-free EC-TEC motor makes it robust and powerful: with exceptional impact energy, the BHC 18 drills forcefully into concrete, stone, and masonry. The integrated vibration dampening prevents the impact energy from being transmitted to the hands. For dust-free work, the drill dust nozzle automatically starts a connected Cleantec dust extraction unit via the Bluetooth battery pack when the tool is turned on, providing great convenience.
