Festool KHC 18 18V Brushless SDS+ Hammer Drill

The Festool KHC 18 is an 18V brushless cordless SDS+ rotary hammer drill built for professionals who need reliable, multi-application performance on site.

Powered by Festool's brushless EC-TEC motor and a pneumatic hammer mechanism, the KHC 18 delivers 2.6 joules of impact energy for fast progress when hammer drilling into concrete, stone and masonry. At just 2.7 kg, it's a well-balanced tool for sustained use on demanding tasks.

What sets this drill apart is its versatility. The SDS-Plus chuck swaps quickly for the included keyless chuck, meaning you can move seamlessly between hammer drilling, chiselling, standard drilling and screwdriving without changing machines. It's equally suited to fixing heavy-duty anchors into concrete, installing kitchen cabinets or drilling holes in wood up to 30 mm diameter.

Safety and control are built in. The electronic KickbackStop reduces injury risk if the bit snags suddenly, while the safety lock prevents accidental starts. A vibration-cushioned handle, LED work light, depth stop and scaffold hook add to the practical, site-ready design.

Dust management is straightforward too — an optional extraction device integrates with Festool's mobile dust extractor, and when paired with a Bluetooth® battery pack, the extractor starts automatically in AUTO mode, supporting COSHH compliance on site.
