Festool cordless rotary hammer BHC 18 Basic-4.0 – compact powerhouse, drills with outstanding efficiency

Strengths and benefits

• Lightweight and highly efficient: thanks to the powerful EC-TEC motor and compact C-shaped design
• For effortless work: vibration damping absorbs impact energy before it reaches your hands
• Exceptionally durable: the brushless, maintenance-free EC-TEC motor ensures a long service life
• Battery power tailored to your needs: the ultra-light 3.1 Ah Compact battery for short, light-duty jobs. The powerful 4.0 Ah Li-HighPower Compact battery for long-lasting, demanding work
• Also without hammer action: the hammer function can be switched off, allowing applications such as drilling tiles
• Convenient dust extraction: the battery connects wirelessly via Bluetooth® to the Bluetooth® module of the CLEANTEC dust extractor (retrofit accessory for CT 26/36/48 models, standard equipment on CT MINI I and MIDI I models) and automatically starts the dust extractor when the cordless tool is switched on
• Outstanding durability: thanks to high-quality battery cells, our batteries offer an exceptionally long service life, so you can choose any battery option for your Basic version. In addition, Festool Service provides a comprehensive warranty. The warranty also includes free all-inclusive service. This fast, thorough, and unique warranty service also applies to batteries and chargers: it is completely free for the first three years. (For warranty terms, see www.festool.fi/huolto)
