The story
Built for fixing, not demolition
Interior fitters, electricians and kitchen installers spend most of their drilling time on 6 and 8 mm holes for plugs, ceiling hangers and rails. The BHC 18 is sized for exactly that: 1.8 kg, balanced for overhead work and quick in concrete and brick thanks to the brushless EC-TEC motor. It also cores socket holes up to 68 mm in sand-lime brick.
Less vibration, less dust
Vibration damping absorbs much of the hammer's impact before it reaches your hands, which matters over a day of ceiling work. With a Bluetooth battery pack the CLEANTEC extractor switches on with the drill, so the dust nozzle or extraction attachment pulls debris away at the hole. The safety clutch limits kickback when a bit jams on rebar. The Basic version ships with side handle and depth stop in a Systainer³.
