FAQs
What is the main advantage of this impact driver?
Its primary advantage is its compact size and light weight, combined with a powerful 140Nm torque, making it ideal for working in tight or awkward spaces.
Does this product come with a battery and charger?
No, this is a 'bare unit' which means it is sold without a battery or charger. These must be purchased separately if you do not already own compatible Hikoki 18V slide-type batteries and a charger.
What size screws can this driver handle?
It is ideal for fastening metric screws up to size M14 and other common fasteners within its torque rating.
How do I change the screwdriver bit?
Simply pull back the collar on the front of the tool holder, insert the bit, and then release the collar. Ensure the bit is fully seated.
Is the variable speed trigger sensitive?
Yes, the variable speed trigger allows for precise control. Squeeze gently for slow speeds and increase pressure for higher speeds.
What is the benefit of the electric brake?
The electric brake stops the rotation of the tool immediately when the trigger is released, providing enhanced safety and control, preventing over-tightening or accidental damage.
Can the belt hook be moved?
Yes, the belt hooks are designed to be screwed on at either end of the tool, allowing you to choose the most convenient side for carrying.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not power on.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly seated in the tool. Check if the battery contacts are clean. Try a different compatible battery.
Impact action is weak or inconsistent.
Check if the screw/fastener is binding or if the material is too hard. Ensure you are using the correct bit for the fastener. Verify the battery is adequately charged.
Bit is difficult to insert or remove.
Ensure the tool is switched off and the battery removed. Check the bit for damage. Ensure the bit is a standard 1/4" hex shank and is inserted fully into the holder.
LED light is not working.
Check the battery connection. If the issue persists, contact customer support as the LED may require service.
