    Functions

    Powerful and versatile. Like your work.

    The KHC 18 cordless rotary hammer drill is durable, extremely resilient and long-lasting – thanks to the powerful brushless EC-TEC motor and pneumatic hammer mechanism. 2.6 joules of impact energy gives you a quick result. No matter whether hammer drilling, drilling and screwdriving without impact or chiselling, you can switch between a variety of applications in seconds. The SDS-Plus chuck is exchanged for the keyless chuck in no time at all. With the dust extraction device, as a practical accessory, you reduce dust with every application. And by integrating it into the clever system of extractor and Bluetooth® remote control, you can work even more conveniently with low dust.

    • Powerful: Thanks to the powerful brushless EC-TEC motor and pneumatic hammer mechanism, 2.6 joules of impact energy ensure fast drilling progress and a good material removal rate when chiselling.
    • Variety of applications: Suitable for hammer drilling, chiselling and drilling without impact. Tighten and loosen screws by changing the direction of rotation.
    • Versatile: SDS-Plus chuck and keyless chuck allow the use of a wide range of tools.
    • Sophisticated: Depth stop for exact setting of the drilling depth, LED light for optimum visibility, scaffold hook for secure fastening.
    • Convenient extraction: The practical dust extraction device (available as an accessory) fits every application and fits into the clever Festool extraction system with mobile dust extractor.
    • Safer: The electronic KickbackStop minimises the risk of injury if the drill suddenly becomes caught. The safety lock prevents the machine from starting unintentionally.
    • Effortless work: Due to vibration-cushioned and ergonomic handle.
    • Robust: Brushless, maintenance-free EC-TEC motor for a long service life.
    • Covered: fully covered by Festool Service upon registration within 100 days of purchase.

    Product details

    KHC 18 EB-Basic
    • Achieve results more quickly

      2.6 joules of impact energy ensures a good material removal rate for chiselling work and fast drilling progress for hammer drilling. Ideal for hammer drilling in concrete up to diameters of 18 mm (maximum dia. of 26 mm possible).

    • Wide range of applications

      Suitable for hammer drilling, chiselling and drilling without impact. Easily switch between applications with the function switch. Change the direction of rotation to loosen and tighten screws.

    • Two chucks – versatile applications

      The KHC 18 offers a wide range of functions, thanks to tool-free chuck replacement. Hammer drills, drill bits and chisels are picked up with the SDS-Plus chuck. The keyless chuck additionally extends the range of possible insertion tools to include, for example, drills with a cylindrical shank, or drills, bits and bit holders with a hex shank.

    • Long-lasting and powerful

      The brushless EC-TEC motor is wear-free and converts the energy from the battery into optimum power with virtually no losses.

    • Low dust in the system

      Simply combine the KHC 18 with the sophisticated dust extraction device (available as an accessory) and benefit from the entire Festool extraction system. The dust extraction device is simply fixed to the depth stop and connected with the extractor. Bluetooth® battery packs communicate with the Bluetooth® module on the CLEANTEC mobile dust extractor (can be retrofitted as an accessory for CT 26/36/48) and automatically start the mobile dust extractor when the cordless tool is switched on.

    • For greater safety when working

      The electronic KickbackStop prevents your wrist from twisting dangerously if the drill suddenly becomes caught or jammed, therefore ensuring improved safety when working.

    • Gentle work

      The vibration damper absorbs and eliminates energy before it can be transferred to the hands of the user. The combination with an ergonomic handle provides additional support for powerful applications.

    • Exact working

      Simply mount the depth stop on the auxiliary handle and adjust it without tools.

    • Drill with pinpoint accuracy

      The innovative SDS hammer drills (optionally available) 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.

    • Optimal lighting

      The integrated LED light permits precise work even in dark corners.

    • Store securely

      The safety lock prevents the machine from starting unintentionally. Fastened to the scaffold hook, the KHC rotary hammer drill is optimally protected against falling, even at airy heights.
