Simply powerful.

The KHC 18 cordless rotary hammer drill is durable, extremely robust and long-lasting – thanks to the powerful brushless EC-TEC motor and pneumatic hammer mechanism. Powerful 2.6 joules of impact energy for fast and effortless drilling. No matter whether hammer drilling, drilling or driving, without impact or chipping, you can switch between a variety of applications in seconds. The SDS-Plus chuck can be quickly and effortlessly removed and replaced with the keyless chuck in virtually no time at all. With the dust extraction attachment, dust can be minimized with every application. And by integrating it into the intelligent system of dust extractors and Bluetooth® remote control, you can work even more conveniently with little dust.

Strengths and Benefits

• Powerful: The powerful EC-TEC brushless motor and pneumatic hammer mechanism deliver 2.6 joules of impact energy for fast drilling and rapid material removal when chiseling.
• Versatile applications: Suitable for hammer drilling, chiseling and impact drilling. Drive and remove screws by changing the direction of rotation.
• Versatile: SDS-Plus chuck and keyless chuck allow the use of a wide range of tools.
