Hikoki Impact Drill Machine VTP18 – 18 mm (11/16″), 640 W Corded Impact Drill

The Hikoki VTP18 Impact Drill Machine is a corded hammer-action drill engineered for demanding drilling tasks in concrete, wood, and metal. With a 640 W motor, dual-speed control, and rugged construction, this tool is suited for workshop use, construction work, and general-purpose drilling where impact assistance helps improve penetration in tougher materials.

Key Features

Powerful Drilling & Impact Action

• A robust 640 W motor provides dependable power for drilling into a range of materials. The integrated impact mechanism helps the bit break through masonry and concrete more effectively than a standard rotatory drill.

Dual-Speed Control

• Two selectable speed settings give you flexibility: a lower speed ideal for heavy-hit drilling and a higher speed for faster drilling in softer materials. No-load speeds approximate 1,050 rpm (low) and 1,800 rpm (high).

Generous Chuck Capacity

• The drill accepts bits from 1.5 mm to 13 mm (1/16″ to 1/2″), supporting a wide variety of standard drill bits for different jobs.

Drilling Capacity

• In concrete and masonry, it can drill up to approximately 18 mm diameter; in steel and other metals, drilling up to roughly 13 mm is possible — making it versatile for mixed-material jobs.

Ergonomic & Durable Design

• Weighing about 2.3 kg and measuring approximately 340 mm in length, the VTP-18 balances power with manageable size. A side handle (usually included) improves control during impact drilling.

Performance & Practical Use

The Hikoki VTP18 is built to handle tougher drilling jobs where a standard drill might struggle. Its impact action delivers percussive force alongside rotary motion, helping the bit penetrate masonry and concrete surfaces more efficiently. The dual-speed range lets you tailor performance, using lower speeds for heavy drilling and higher speeds for faster progress in softer materials like timber.

Thanks to its comfortable grip and balanced form, this impact drill is versatile enough for everyday workshop duties, construction work, and DIY projects that require more force than a basic drill can provide. The side handle and depth gauge (typically supplied) further enhance accuracy and control during repetitive tasks.

Best Suited For:

✔ Drilling into concrete and masonry
✔ Steel and metal drilling
✔ Wood and general material drilling
✔ Workshop, construction, and renovation tasks

User Tips

Safety First: Always wear eye protection and hearing protection when operating an impact drill — debris and dust can eject from work surfaces.

Start with Proper Speed: Begin drilling at lower speeds to seat the bit before increasing speed for faster drilling once the bit is established.

Secure the Workpiece: Clamping workpieces firmly helps improve drilling accuracy and reduces vibration.

Select the Right Bit: Use masonry bits for concrete/brick, HSS bits for metal, and wood bits for timber to achieve cleaner holes and longer bit life.
