BHC 18 HPC 4.0 I-Plus Cordless Hammer Drill - 577196

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

• Light weight, maximum power: thanks to the powerful EC-TEC motor and compact C-shape
• Work tirelessly: The vibration damping absorbs the heaviest blows before they are transferred to your hands, wrists and arms
• Extremely robust: brushless, maintenance-free EC-TEC motor for a long service life
• Individual battery power: For maximum convenience in shorter use and less demanding applications with the 3.1 Ah Compact battery pack. Or for full power and endurance with the 4.0 Ah Li-HighPower Compact battery pack
• Also without impact function: Impact shut-off possible, e.g. for drilling in tiles
• Convenient suction: The battery pack communicates via Bluetooth® with the Bluetooth® module of the CLEANTEC mobile dust extractor (available as an optional accessory for CT 26/36/48, directly integrated for CT MINI I and MIDI I) and starts when the battery tool is switched on automatically the mobile vacuum cleaner
• Powerful Li-HighPower battery: Sufficient power for every application, and 20% lighter and 50% more compact than a 5.2 Ah standard battery pack. Also extremely durable: The Li-HighPower Compact batteries have an extremely long service life thanks to battery cells with a high current resistance
• Fully insured: Naturally, the battery packs and chargers are fully insured with the Festool SERVICE. Including our free full repair. Fast, thorough and absolutely unique also for battery packs and chargers: free for the first three years. (warranty conditions, see www.festool.nl/service)
