Product highlights

Best results faster

• The combination of a brushless EC-TEC drive and integrated motor management ensures exceptional impact energy that penetrates any concrete quickly and powerfully.

Comfortable and safe

• The lightest in its class – with a compact design, optimal weight distribution, and vibration dampening to guarantee fatigue-free work.

Better in the system

• Now you can also enjoy all the advantages of dust-free working when working with Festool cordless products: The battery pack communicates via Bluetooth® with the Bluetooth® module of the CLEANTEC mobile dust extractor (retrofittable as an accessory for CT 26/36/48, for CT MINI I and MIDI I directly integrated) and starts the mobile dust extractor automatically when the cordless tool is switched on.

Product details

Unbeatable weight-performance ratio

• Cordless hammer drill BHC 18 with excellent ergonomics, compact c-design and balanced weight distribution

Fatigue-free work, even overhead

• The BHC with the best power-to-weight ratio in the 18 volt class.

Simply communicative

• The 3.1 Ah Bluetooth® Compact battery pack communicates via Bluetooth® with the Bluetooth® module of the CLEANTEC mobile dust extractor (can be retrofitted as an accessory on the CT 26/36/48, directly integrated on the CT MINI I and MIDI I) and starts the mobile dust extractor automatically. This means you benefit from the entire Festool dust-free system when working with the hammer drill in combination with the dust nozzle.

Lightweight

• Even more manageable in the compact version. With the 3.1 Ah compact battery pack weighing just 400 grams. Also available with Bluetooth® technology.

The new TCL 6 rapid charger

• The new TCL 6 rapid charger with charge level indicator charges quickly and protects the battery. In addition to its compact design, it features practical cable storage and the option of easy wall mounting. In addition, its fully encapsulated electronics make it extremely robust.

Save energy, work without fatigue

• Cordless hammer drill BHC 18 with high impact energy and integrated vibration dampening.

Protects your joints

• Absorbs the impact energy and cushions it before it is transferred to the hands. For fatigue-free work.

Impact shutdown possible

• E.g., for drilling into tiles

Main switch with accelerator function

• For precise work.

Precise drilling. Extremely fast drilling.

• The innovative SDS hammer drill bits enable precise positioning thanks to the 90° sharp centering tip. The solid carbide head ensures an extremely long service life, especially when drilling in reinforced concrete.

Depth stop

• Can be mounted using the additional handle.

LED lighting

• Automatic light when the main switch is pressed for precision even in dark corners.

Ergonomic grip options

• Use with a second hand on the tool or with the additional handle.

Working with extraction

• Dust-free, residue-free drilling with a secure hold: With the drilling dust nozzle and the patented 2-chamber system, drilling up to a maximum diameter of 12 mm on floors, walls, and ceilings is no problem. Optimal hose positioning thanks to the flexible joint. And: The foam rubber pad creates a secure hold even on uneven surfaces.

More power. Longer service life

• The brushless EC-TEC motor with integrated motor management, combined with the high-quality 18 V Li-Ion AIRSTREAM battery packs, achieves maximum performance.

Don't flaunt its Ah. Show off its power.

• The new Festool Li-Ion 5.2 Ah battery pack with AIRSTREAM. The new AIRSTREAM technology guarantees faster reuse of the battery packs and thus uninterrupted work – even with energy-intensive applications such as sawing. The new battery packs feature an integrated cooling channel, which, when used in conjunction with the new SCA 8 rapid charger, shortens the cooling time and thus the entire charging process by up to 65%. In addition, they are extremely robust with an integrated rubber frame to protect the workpiece and the battery pack, and thanks to the charge level indicator, the remaining capacity is always directly visible.

The unbeatable combination in terms of (running) performance: EC-TEC and 5.2 Ah

• Brushless EC-TEC motor with integrated motor management for a long service life and maximum performance, noticeable in the enormous impact energy of the BHC 18. In combination with the high-quality 18 V Li-Ion AIRSTREAM battery packs 5.2 Ah, EC-TEC achieves not only maximum performance but also maximum endurance.

Main Applications

• Drilling with pneumatic impact of dowel holes up to 18 mm in concrete, stone, and masonry
