The low-vibration handle supports repeated drilling work.
An LED illuminates the working area.
What to consider
The two functions are drilling and hammer drilling; there is no chiselling mode.
The DH18DPAJ3Z package excludes battery and charger.
Who should buy it?
HiKOKI battery owners fitting services and fixings who value a compact dedicated hammer for smaller holes.
Final verdict
A sensible drilling-focused addition to a compatible battery kit. Look elsewhere if chiselling and larger masonry openings are central to your work.
