FAQs
What type of battery does the Hikoki DV18DEJFZ use?
This combi drill is compatible with Hikoki 18V slide-type Li-ion batteries. Batteries are typically sold separately.
Can I use this drill for masonry?
Yes, the DV18DEJFZ features a hammer drill function suitable for drilling into masonry and concrete, in addition to standard drilling and screwdriving modes.
