    Functions

    Compact powerhouse drilling with maximum performance.

    With vibration damping, an ergonomic C-shape and weighing only 2.5 kg (incl. 4.0 Ah Li-HighPower Compact battery pack), the BHC 18 cordless hammer drill combines maximum performance with low weight – for powerful and effortless drilling even in the hardest materials. The brushless EC-TEC motor requires no maintenance and makes it so robust and powerful. With extraordinarily high impact energy, the BHC 18 drills powerfully into concrete, stone and masonry. The integrated vibration damping prevents the impact energy from being transferred to your hands. For dust-free working with the drilling dust nozzle, the Bluetooth® battery pack conveniently starts a connected CLEANTEC mobile dust extractor automatically when switching on the tool.

    • Lightweight, maximum performance: Thanks to the powerful EC-TEC motor and compact C-shape
    • Work effortlessly: Vibration damping absorbs the impact energy before it is transferred to your hands
    • Robust: Brushless, maintenance-free EC-TEC motor for a long service life.
    • Individual battery power: For maximum ease of use for shorter and less demanding applications with the 3.0 Ah Compact battery pack. Or for full power and endurance with the 4.0 Ah Li-HighPower Compact battery pack
    • Even without impact: Percussive shut-off system possible e.g. for spot-drilling tiles
    • Convenient extraction: The battery pack communicates via Bluetooth® with the Bluetooth® module of the CLEANTEC mobile dust extractor (can be retrofitted to the CT 26/36/48 as an accessory, directly integrated into the CT MINI I and MIDI I) and starts the mobile dust extractor automatically when the cordless tool is switched on
    • Extremely long-lasting: No matter which battery pack you combine your Basic version with, our battery packs are extremely durable thanks to the high-quality battery cells And, of course, fully covered by Festool Service Including our full repair service that is free of charge Fast, thorough and – also completely unique for battery packs and chargers: Nothing to pay in the first three years (For warranty terms and conditions, see www.festool.co.uk/service)

    Product highlights

    • Maximum performance when drilling into the hardest materials:

      The brushless EC-TEC motor requires no maintenance and is extremely robust and powerful. In combination with the pneumatic hammer mechanism, an enormous force of impact is created, with which drilling in concrete, stone and masonry is fast and powerful.

    • Makes hard work as easy as possible:

      The BHC offers an unbeatable power-weight ratio and optimum weight distribution. The C-shape, outstanding ergonomics and vibration damping also provide relief during work.

    • Fully automatic dust extraction:

      Work more healthily in combination with the drilling dust nozzle and Festool Bluetooth® battery packs. The battery pack communicates with the Bluetooth® module of the CLEANTEC mobile dust extractor (can be retrofitted to the CT 26/36/48 as an accessory, directly integrated into the CT MINI I and MIDI I) and starts the mobile dust extractor automatically when the cordless tool is switched on.

    BHC 18-Basic

    • Work effortlessly, even overhead

      The BHC offers an unbeatable power-weight ratio, outstanding ergonomics, a compact C-shape and balanced weight distribution.

    • Simply communicative

      The Bluetooth® battery packs communicate with the Bluetooth® module of the CLEANTEC mobile dust extractor (can be retrofitted to the CT 26/36/48 as an accessory, directly integrated into the CT MINI I and MIDI I) and start the mobile dust extractor automatically when the cordless tool is switched on. In this way, you also benefit from the complete Festool dust-free system when working with the hammer drill in combination with the drill dust nozzle.

    • Protecting the joints

      The vibration damping absorbs and cushions the impact energy before it is transferred to your hands. For a healthy working environment.

    • Impact can be disabled

      Ideal for drilling into tiles, for example.

    • For precise working

      Main switch with acceleration function for controllable power.

    • Drill with pinpoint accuracy

      The innovative SDS hammer drills enable precise positioning thanks to their sharp 90° centring point. The solid carbide head ensures an extremely long service life, especially when drilling into reinforced concrete.

    • Depth stop

      Can be fitted above the additional handle.

    • LED lighting

      Automatic light when operating the main switch for precision even in dark corners.

    • Working with extraction

      Dust-free, residue-free drilling with a secure hold: Thanks to the drill dust nozzle and the patented dual-chamber system, drilling holes up to a maximum diameter of 12 mm in floors, walls and ceilings is effortless. A flexible joint piece ensures the optimum hose position and the foam rubber pad provides a secure hold even on uneven surfaces.

    Usage

    Main applications

    • Ideal for hammer drilling up to a diameter of 10 mm in concrete, stone and masonry (maximum diameter of 18 mm possible)
    • Its light weight and the compact design ensure great balance. It is therefore ideally suited for continuous use for interior finishing and assembly right up to securing EIF systems
    • Fastening of substructures, ceiling suspensions and other elements (dia. 5–10 mm) to concrete and masonry
    • Fastening of kitchen cabinets, wall shelves, sound insulation elements, drywalls, skirting boards
    • Drilling and screwdriving without impact, such as when spot-drilling floor tiles
    • Electrical socket cutting up to Ø 68 mm in lime sand brick and masonry
    • Working with dust extraction – Bluetooth® battery pack automatically starts Bluetooth®-compatible mobile dust extractor in AUTO mode
