Festool Cordless hammer drill BHC 18-Basic

Cordless hammer drill BHC 18-Basic

Compact power pack. Drills with maximum power.

With vibration damping, ergonomic C-shape and a weight of only 2.5 kg (incl. incl. 4.0 Ah Li-HighPower Compact battery pack), the BHC 18 cordless hammer drill combines maximum power with low weight - for powerful and effortless drilling even in the hardest materials. The brushless, maintenance-free EC-TEC motor makes it so robust and powerful: with exceptional impact energy, the BHC 18 drills powerfully into concrete, stone and masonry. The integrated vibration damping prevents the impact energy from being transmitted to the hands. For low-dust work with the drill dust nozzle, the Bluetooth® battery pack conveniently starts a connected CLEANTEC extraction mobile automatically when the tool is switched on.
