Rotary hammer Hikoki DH18DPC 18V, 3.2 J impact energy, 2x5.0 Ah battery kit

The Rotary hammer Hikoki DH18DPC 18V with 3.2 J impact energy is a cordless SDS tool supplied as a kit with two 5.0 Ah batteries. Designed for drilling and light chiselling in concrete, masonry and stone, this model combines a brushless motor for improved efficiency with the mobility of battery operation. The kit format includes two high-capacity batteries allowing extended runtime on construction, renovation and installation tasks where corded power is impractical.

Advantages

The brushless motor increases energy efficiency and reduces maintenance compared with brushed designs, while the 3.2 J nominal impact energy delivers effective percussive force for hole drilling and light chipping. Battery operation provides freedom of movement on sites without immediate access to mains power, and the included dual 5.0 Ah batteries help maintain continuous work time. The tool is compatible with SDS accessories from the HIT-System, enabling versatility for drilling and chiselling tasks.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete, masonry and stone for anchors and fixings
• Light chiselling and surface removal during renovation work
• Electrical, plumbing and HVAC installations requiring mobile power
• On-site tasks where cord-free operation improves accessibility

Key specifications

• Voltage: 18 V (battery)
• Impact energy: 3.2 J (nominal)
• Powertrain: brushless motor
• Batteries included: two 5.0 Ah lithium-ion cells
• Tool holder: SDS system for drill and chisel bits
• Primary uses: drilling and light chiselling in concrete, masonry and stone

How to use

Install a fully charged 5.0 Ah battery before operation and secure the chosen SDS bit according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Select the appropriate mode (drilling or hammer drilling) and align the bit with the marked drilling point. Apply steady forward pressure while maintaining control of the tool; avoid excessive lateral force. For chiselling, use the chisel bit and select the hammer-only or rotation-stop mode if available. After use, remove the battery and store the tool and batteries in a dry, ventilated place.

Usage recommendations

For efficient operation, start with a smaller pilot hole when drilling large diameters and use appropriate drill bits rated for concrete and masonry. Keep both 5.0 Ah batteries charged and alternate them during extended work to avoid downtime. Wear suitable personal protective equipment — eye protection, hearing protection and dust mask — and follow site safety rules when working on ladders or scaffolding.
