Product Information
Full details
The HiKOKI KC18DPLJAZ Twin Pack is designed for professional tradespeople and serious DIYers who need reliable, powerful cordless tools for a variety of demanding tasks. Its key benefit is the combination of a high-torque combi drill and a high-power impact driver, both featuring efficient brushless motors and durable construction, offering versatility and longevity. A potential caveat is the battery system compatibility, which is primarily optimized for 18V Multi Volt batteries, requiring awareness for users with older battery types.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the brushless motor?
Brushless motors offer increased efficiency, longer runtime per charge, and a longer lifespan compared to brushed motors, as they have fewer wearing parts.
How does Reactive Force Control (RFC) work?
RFC enhances safety by detecting when the tool might bind or stall. It immediately shuts off the motor to prevent the tool from twisting dangerously in your hand.
Can I use my older HiKOKI 18V batteries with this kit?
Yes, the 18V Multi Volt batteries are backward compatible with most existing HiKOKI 18V tools. However, older 18V batteries may not offer the same runtime or power as the Multi Volt batteries.
What does IP65 rating mean for the impact driver?
An IP65 rating signifies that the impact driver is protected against dust ingress (dust-tight) and is also protected against low-pressure jets of water from any direction, making it suitable for harsh environmental conditions.
What is the maximum screw and bolt size the impact driver can handle?
The impact driver can handle screws from 4-10mm, bolts from M5-M18, HT bolts from M5-M14, and self-drilling screws from 3.5-6mm.
How do I maintain the tool's performance?
Keep the tool clean, especially the air vents. Store batteries properly, and ensure they are charged. Regularly check for any physical damage to the tool or accessories.
What is the warranty period for this twin pack?
Information regarding specific warranty periods should be checked with the retailer or the official HiKOKI warranty documentation, as it can vary by region and product registration.
Troubleshooting
Tool not powering on
Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and fully charged. Check for any obstructions in the trigger or vents. If the issue persists, try a different charged battery.
Reduced power or performance
The battery may be low on charge; recharge it fully. Check if the ventilation slots are blocked with dust or debris and clean them. For the impact driver, ensure the anvil/socket is properly seated.
Combi drill not drilling or hammering
Verify the tool is set to the correct mode (drill, hammer drill, or driver). Ensure the selector ring is firmly in place. Check that the battery is fully charged.
Impact driver not delivering full torque
Select the appropriate speed mode for the task. Ensure the battery is fully charged. The triple hammer mechanism might require a brief reset if used excessively under load; allow it to cool slightly.
Battery not charging
Ensure the battery is properly seated on the charger. Check that the charger is plugged into a working power outlet. Clean the battery terminals and charger contacts with a dry cloth. If the battery is old or damaged, it may need replacement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Powerful performance from brushless motors in both tools.
- Durable construction with aluminium gearcase and IP65 rating on the impact driver.
- Enhanced safety features like RFC on the combi drill.
- Versatile with multi-volt batteries and multiple speed settings.
- Comprehensive kit with essential accessories and carry case.
Cons
- May be overkill for light-duty DIY tasks.
- Weight can be a factor for extended overhead work.
- Requires understanding of the Multi Volt battery system for full potential.
- No specific mention of charger speed.
- Only two batteries included, which might be insufficient for very long jobs without recharging.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure batteries are fully charged using the provided UC18YSL3 charger before first use.
- For the combi drill, attach the side handle for better control, especially during high-torque applications or when using the hammer function.
- Insert the charged battery firmly into the tool until it clicks into place.
- Select the appropriate bit for your task and secure it in the drill chuck or impact driver anvil.
Compatibility:
- The included batteries are 18V/36V Multi Volt Li-ion batteries. They are compatible with other HiKOKI 18V tools and also 36V Multi Volt tools when used in a compatible tool.
- The charger (UC18YSL3) is designed for HiKOKI's slide-style Li-ion batteries.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe down the tools with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents.
- Storage: Store the tools, batteries, and charger in the provided carry case in a dry, temperate environment. Keep batteries away from extreme heat or cold.
- Maintenance: Regularly check for any damage to the cord (if applicable to charger), housing, or accessories. Ensure ventilation slots on tools and batteries are free from debris to prevent overheating.
