Product details

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.
