The most powerful compact hammer drill
Developed according to its own laws: Ergonomically C-shaped and balanced weight distribution for greater ease-of-use at work. With integrated EC-TEC motor technology, providing optimum performance thanks to high efficiency. And vibration damping, absorbing impact energy before it is transferred to your hand. The new BHC 18 hammer drill. Discover a real powerhouse, with its impressive efficiency and the best power-to-weight ratio in the 18 V category.
Unbeatable power to weight ratio thanks to the combination of EC-TEC motor and C shape model
Vibration damping for effortless work; Maximum working comfort in all work situations
Brushless EC-TEC motor with integrated motor management for long service life and the highest output
High-quality lithium-ion battery technology for the longest sustained usage
More power. Longer service life.
The combination of the high-quality 18 V Li-ion AIRSTREAM battery packs and brushless EC-TEC motor with integrated motor management achieves maximum performance.
Make a show of power, not amp-hours.
The new Festool Li-ion 5.2 Ah battery pack with AIRSTREAM. The new AIRSTREAM technology guarantees faster re-use of battery packs and thus guarantees interruption-free work – even for energy-intensive applications such as sawing. This is because the new battery packs have an integrated cooling duct, thanks to which the cooling time and, as a result, the entire charging process can be reduced by up to 65% in combination with the new SCA 8 rapid charger. Furthermore, they are extremely robust with an integrated rubber frame to protect the workpiece and the battery pack and, thanks to the charge indicator, you can always clearly see how much charge is left in the battery.
The unbeatable combination when it comes to (operational) performance: EC-TEC and 5.2 Ah.
Brushless EC-TEC motor with integrated motor management for a long service life and maximum performance, marked by the tremendous impact energy of the BHC 18. Combined with the high-quality 18 V 5.2 Ah Li-ion AIRSTREAM battery packs, EC-TEC not only achieves maximum performance, but also maximum endurance.
Unbeatable power-to-weight ratio
The BHC 18 cordless hammer drill with outstanding ergonomics, compact C-shape and balanced weight distribution.
Work effortlessly, even overhead
The BHC has the best power-to-weight ratio in the 18 volt class.
Lightweight
The compact version is even easier to handle: With the 400 g 3.1 Ah compact battery pack.
The new TCL 6 rapid charger
The new TCL 6 rapid charger with charge indicator charges quickly and preserves the battery. In addition to its compact design, it impresses users with its practical cord holder and the option to easily mount it on a wall. Furthermore, it is extremely robust thanks to fully encapsulated electronics.
Work effortlessly, save energy
BHC 18 cordless hammer drill with high impact energy and integrated vibration damping.
Protecting the joints
Absorbs and cushions the impact energy before it is transferred to your hands. For effortless work.
Impact can be disabled
E.g. for drilling tiles.
Main switch with acceleration function
For precise work.
Pinpoint, extremely fast drilling.
Hammer drill – with symmetrical X-shaped drill head – perfects the art of drilling in concrete, natural stone, mortar and 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.
Ergonomic grips
With a second hand on the tool or an additional handle.
Working with dust 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.
