A tougher, faster hammer drill 30 August 2016

With a highly efficient brushless motor, delivering even more power and run time when out on-site, Hitachi Power Tools (UK) Limited says it has introduced a tougher, faster and more advanced DH18DBL/JP SDS-Plus hammer drill, which is available throughout Europe.

Running for 50% longer per battery charge than Hitachi’s conventional brushed DC motor, the DH18DBL/JP hammer drill has an impact energy of 2.6J and a 26mm drilling capacity in concrete. Its three mode action for powerful rotary drilling, hammer drilling, or chiseling, makes it a formidable tool for all those working on-site without mains power.

The hammer drill also features overcurrent protection and the Reactive Force Control (RFC) system reduces the risk of injury from tool overload. The built-in LED light means users can work in dim and tight spaces and the battery indicator means users never need to run out of charge.
Hitachi points out: “Supplied with 2 x 5.0Ah lithium-ion batteries, side handle, charger and carrying case as standard – and with Hitachi’s three year warranty available when registered online within four weeks of purchase – trade professionals can be assured of long service and peace of mind.”
