Cordless impact drill Hikoki DV18DAWCZ (18V, brushless)

Hikoki DV18DAWCZ is an 18 V cordless impact drill with a brushless motor designed for drilling and screwdriving in a variety of materials. The compact, battery-powered design provides portability for on-site and workshop use, while the impact function adds percussive force for quicker penetration in wood and metal and improved performance when fastening. The tool is intended for professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts who require a balance of power, runtime and manoeuvrability.

Advantages

The brushless motor increases efficiency and reduces maintenance compared with brushed designs, delivering longer runtime per battery charge and improved motor life. The integrated impact mechanism provides higher torque under load for reliable screwdriving and faster drilling in demanding materials. The cordless 18 V format offers a compromise between power and portability, enabling use in locations without mains power. Ergonomic housing and a compact head make the drill easier to handle in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in wood, metal and plastics
• Driving and removing screws and fasteners
• Light to medium fastening and assembly work on site
• Tradespeople requiring a portable impact drill

Key specifications

• Power system: 18 V battery operation
• Motor type: brushless motor for improved efficiency and runtime
• Functionality: impact (percussion) mode plus standard drilling and screwdriving
• Form factor: cordless, handheld design with compact head for access in tight spaces

How to use

Fit a compatible 18 V battery according to the battery instructions and select the appropriate drill bit or screwdriver bit for the task. Choose the required mode—impact for percussive drilling and fastening, or standard for non-impact drilling—and set the torque or speed as needed. Hold the drill firmly, position the tip at the work point, and apply steady pressure while operating the trigger. Release the trigger to stop and allow the tool to come to rest before removing the bit or changing settings.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection and gloves. Match bit type and size to the material and task, and allow the brushless motor to cool between extended runs. For optimal battery life, follow the battery and charger manufacturer’s guidelines and store batteries in a dry, moderate-temperature environment.
