Lightweight. Convenient. Exactly what a hammer drill for work should be.

BORT BHD-18Li-XDK Cordless Hammer Drill

BORT BHD-18Li-XDK – lightweight, well-balanced, and doesn't cause fatigue when working at height or holding the tool at arm's length. Ceiling installation, route laying, fastener installation – here weight matters, and 2 kg (without battery) turns out to be exactly the value at which your arms don't get tired prematurely.

The tool operates on 18V Li-Ion batteries within the Makita 18V LXT platform. This is convenient for those who already have batteries and logical for those building a universal cordless tool fleet. It is supplied without battery and charger – without unnecessary overpayment or forced kits.


Key Features Determining the Choice

Key Features Determining the Choice

The first thing you notice when working with the BORT BHD-18Li-XDK is complete autonomy. Freedom from a power outlet expands usage scenarios: working at height, at the dacha, in the garage, or on sites without electricity becomes the norm.

The brushless motor with an equivalent power of 750 W plays a key role. It ensures stable operation, increased lifespan, and more efficient battery energy consumption.


Technical Specifications

The hammer drill's impact energy is 1.9 J – an optimal value for most household and professional tasks: drilling concrete and brick, chiseling, and demolition work. This allows for confident drilling of holes up to 24 mm in concrete without overloading the tool or causing excessive operator fatigue.

Maximum drilling diameters:

  • concrete – 24 mm;
  • wood – 28 mm;
  • metal – 13 mm.

No-load speed of 0–1500 RPM ensures a precise start, prevents the drill bit from slipping, and provides better control for delicate installation work where not only power but also accuracy is important.


Impact Rate and Operating Modes

An impact rate of up to 4500 blows per minute ensures high operation speed.

The hammer drill's functionality is also revealed through its operating modes. The tool features 4 operating modes:

  1. Drilling (rotation only, without impact);
  2. Hammer drilling (rotation with impact);
  3. Chiseling (impact only, without rotation);
  4. Chisel positioning mode - allows locking the accessory in a fixed working position at the desired angle, which is especially important when using a chisel and during demolition operations. Thus, the tool adapts to the operator's task, not the other way around.

Brushless Motor as the Foundation of Reliability

The brushless motor in the BORT BHD-18Li-XDK is not a marketing gimmick but a functional advantage. The absence of brushes reduces wear, decreases heat generation, and increases efficiency. As a result, the hammer drill demonstrates stable performance under load and allows for more efficient use of battery charge. On average, energy savings reach about 30% compared to brushed counterparts, directly impacting the runtime per charge.


Ease of Use: SDS+ Chuck

The use of an SDS+ chuck ensures quick and reliable accessory changes without additional tools. This standard has long proven itself as the most universal for hammer drills of this class and offers a wide selection of drill bits and chisels.


Safety and Operator Protection

The hammer drill design includes a safety clutch. In case of sudden bit jamming, it automatically disengages the drive, protecting the operator from kickback and preventing gear damage. In practice, this is especially important when drilling concrete with potential reinforcement encounters.

The airflow system directs the air stream to remove dust from the working area while simultaneously cooling the motor. This positively affects both work convenience and the durability of internal components.


Equipment and Additional Useful Features

The hammer drill weighs only 2 kg without the battery, making it comfortable for prolonged use and overhead work.

  1. The body is equipped with rubber anti-vibration pads in the grip areas.
  2. The rubberized main handle and additional side handle provide a secure grip and tool control.
  3. The built-in LED worklight illuminates the work area directly in front of the accessory, which is especially useful in dimly lit spaces.
  4. The metal depth gauge with a lock allows precise control of drilling depth and repeatable results.

Battery Compatibility

The tool is designed to work with Makita 18V LXT standard batteries, as well as with Bort batteries.

Ideal choices are:

BORT BA-21U – 4 Ah:

BORT BA-21U-62 – 6 Ah:

Package Contents and Warranty Terms

The standard package includes the BORT BHD-18Li-XDK hammer drill itself, an additional handle, a depth gauge, and the user manual with warranty card. The manufacturer provides a standard warranty with the option to extend it to five years upon product registration on the official portal. Battery packs and chargers, purchased separately, have their own warranty terms.
