Product Information

Full details

The HiKOKI DH1826DCW2Z 18V SDS+ Cordless Rotary Hammer Drill is designed for professionals and serious DIYers needing a powerful, versatile tool for drilling into concrete, steel, and wood. Its key benefit is the combination of cordless freedom with high-impact performance and precise control, enhanced by an automatically adjustable drilling depth and a brushless motor for longevity. A potential caveat is its weight for prolonged overhead work, though its low vibration design mitigates fatigue.

FAQs

What is the maximum drilling capacity in concrete?

The maximum drilling capacity in concrete for this rotary hammer is 26mm.

Can I use regular drill bits with this tool?

Yes, by using the included SDS-Plus interchangeable drill chuck. However, SDS-Plus bits are recommended for optimal performance and durability in hammer-drilling applications.

What type of battery does this drill use?

It uses HiKOKI 18V slide-type Li-ion batteries. It is also compatible with compatible Multi Volt batteries.

How do I engage the slip clutch?

The slip clutch is an internal safety feature that automatically engages when the motor is under excessive load or the bit jams. You do not manually engage it; it's designed to protect the user and tool.

What is the benefit of a brushless motor?

Brushless motors are more energy-efficient, leading to longer runtime per charge, provide more power, and have a longer lifespan due to less wear and tear compared to brushed motors.

How does the automatically adjustable drilling depth work?

This feature allows you to set a precise drilling depth for repetitive tasks. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on setting and using this function to ensure accuracy.

Is this tool suitable for demolition work?

While it has a hammering function, its primary design is for rotary drilling. For heavy-duty demolition, a dedicated demolition hammer with higher impact energy would be more suitable. This tool is best for drilling holes.

Troubleshooting

Drill not powering on

Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and charged. Check if the safety lock-off switch is engaged. Try a different charged battery.

Reduced drilling power or impact

Check for bit damage or dullness. Ensure the SDS+ bit is properly seated. Clean any debris from the chuck and bit shank. Verify battery charge level.

Drill bit gets stuck

Immediately release the trigger. If the bit is severely jammed, carefully try to rotate the chuck by hand if possible, or disengage the slip clutch if the situation allows without risk of kickback.

Overheating

Allow the tool to cool down. Ensure ventilation slots are clear of obstruction. Reduce the load or pause drilling intermittently.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Cordless design offers excellent portability and freedom of movement.
  • Brushless motor provides superior efficiency and durability.
  • Low vibration system enhances user comfort and reduces fatigue.
  • Automatic drilling depth adjustment ensures precision.
  • Includes two 5.0Ah batteries and a charger for immediate use.

Cons

  • Can be heavy for extended overhead applications.
  • Impact energy (3.2J) might be insufficient for the heaviest demolition tasks.
  • Requires SDS+ bits, limiting compatibility with standard chuck accessories without an adapter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure batteries are fully charged using the provided charger.
  2. Insert a charged battery into the tool until it clicks.
  3. Attach the side handle for better control, adjusting its position as needed.
  4. Select the desired operating mode (e.g., hammer drilling, drilling).
  5. Insert an SDS+ bit into the chuck, pushing it in until it locks.

Compatibility:

  • Batteries: Compatible with HiKOKI 18V slide-type Li-ion batteries, including BSL1850 (5.0Ah) supplied with this model. Note: The drill is also Multivolt capable, meaning it can work with compatible Multi Volt batteries (36V/18V).
  • Bits: Requires SDS-Plus shank bits. Use the included SDS-Plus interchangeable drill chuck for standard bits if needed, though performance may vary.

Care:

  • Keep the tool clean and free of dust and debris, especially around ventilation slots.
  • Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth; do not use solvents.
  • Store the tool, batteries, and charger in a dry, protected environment.
  • Periodically check for wear on the SDS+ chuck and bit interface.
