Rotary hammer Hikoki DH18DPBW2 18V brushless, SDS‑Plus, 800–1080 RPM, 18 mm concrete drilling

The Hikoki DH18DPBW2 is a cordless rotary hammer with a brushless motor and SDS‑Plus chuck designed for construction and renovation tasks. Powered by an 18 V lithium battery, it provides variable speeds between 800 and 1080 RPM and supports concrete drilling up to 18 mm. With a compact footprint—approximately 1.6 kg in weight, 235 mm depth and 81 mm width—the tool is intended for drilling, light chiselling and fastening operations where mobility and reduced fatigue are important.

Advantages

The brushless motor increases efficiency and reduces maintenance requirements compared with brushed designs. SDS‑Plus compatibility enables quick bit changes and access to a broad range of masonry and concrete drill bits. Its cordless operation removes the need for a mains connection, improving portability on sites and in tight spaces. The lightweight, compact housing helps to minimize user fatigue during extended use, while the rated RPM range supports both controlled drilling and faster material removal depending on the task.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete, brick and masonry up to 18 mm diameter
• Light chiselling and removal of small areas of mortar or plaster
• Installation work such as fastening anchors and through‑bolt holes
• Mobile jobsites and renovation tasks where corded power is impractical

How to use

Select an appropriate SDS‑Plus bit for the intended diameter and material. Secure the bit in the SDS‑Plus chuck according to the tool’s engagement mechanism, and insert a charged 18 V lithium battery. Choose the required operating mode and speed within the 800–1080 RPM range, and position the bit on the marked drilling point. Apply steady, moderate pressure—allowing the tool’s hammering action to do the work—keeping the tool aligned with the hole axis. For chiselling, select a compatible chisel accessory and use controlled strokes to remove material. After use, remove the battery and store the tool and accessories in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment: safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask. For extended drilling in reinforced concrete, select bits rated for reinforced material and allow intermittent breaks to avoid overheating. Ensure the battery is charged and compatible with Hikoki 18 V systems. Maintain the tool by keeping the chuck and ventilation openings clean and inspecting bits for wear before use.
