Thanks to the new CORE technology and 4.0Ah battery, the new tool can drill more than 150, ¼ - inch x 1-1/2 – inch holes in concrete with one battery charge.

The RHH181’s best-in-class size to weight ratio makes eases operation for the user and ensures necessary impact is still delivered. The 3-mode selector switch lets users choose between rotary hammer, rotation only and chisel mode. The Vario-Lock™ rotates the chisel into various positions for chiseling work at any angle. Additional features include an LED work light to illuminate work areas during low light applications and large soft-grip handle for reduced fatigue during extended use.
