HiKOKI Power Tool Range — Quick Reference

HiKOKI (formerly Hitachi Power Tools) is the Japanese pro power tool brand — 18V + 36V brushless platforms, construction-grade durability, decades of industrial trade reputation. Choose HiKOKI when you need pro-grade cordless tools with battery-platform standardisation across the kit.

Platform commitment: Standardise on either 18V or 36V (or both) — batteries cross-fit within platform. The 36V (also called Multi-Volt) line is HiKOKI's pro-trade range; 18V handles 80% of workshop tasks. Brushless motors across all current models = longer runtime, longer tool life, more power per amp-hour. Japan-made (Hitachi heritage). Companion: cordless power tools, all power tools.

HiKOKI Cordless Power Tools — 18V & 36V Brushless Platform

HiKOKI (formerly Hitachi Power Tools) is a Japanese power tool manufacturer with a decades-long reputation in industrial and professional trade environments. The HiKOKI range is built around two multi-tool battery platforms — 18V and 36V — with an extensive catalogue of brushless cordless tools designed for construction, fabrication, maintenance, and specialist industrial applications. AIMS Industrial supplies HiKOKI tools with fast delivery Australia-wide, covering impact drivers, die grinders, impact wrenches, rotary hammers, combo kits, and more.

HiKOKI Impact Drivers, Impact Wrenches & Combo Kits

• HiKOKI WH18DC(H4Z) 18V Brushless Cordless Impact Driver (IP56): The WH18DC impact driver carries an IP56 rating for dust and water ingress protection — a meaningful specification for maintenance crews working in manufacturing plants, mining environments, and outdoor construction sites where tools are regularly exposed to harsh conditions. The brushless motor delivers high torque output with extended battery life versus brushed alternatives.
• HiKOKI WR36DA(HRZ) 36V Brushless 3/4" Impact Wrench Kit: The 3/4" drive 36V impact wrench is designed for high-torque fastening applications in heavy industry — plant maintenance, mining equipment servicing, truck and machinery assembly. The 36V platform delivers the output to handle large fasteners and bolted joints that 18V tools cannot match, without the restriction of an air compressor and hose.
• HiKOKI KC36D5P3(HRZ) 36V Brushless Combo Kit — 5 Piece: The 5-piece 36V combo kit is suited to maintenance teams and contractors who need a comprehensive cordless tool set on a single battery platform. Running all tools from the same 36V battery system eliminates the need to manage multiple chargers and battery types across a toolkit — a practical efficiency gain for workshop and on-site maintenance operations.
• HiKOKI KC18D8P3(HRZ) 18V Brushless Combo Kit — 8 Piece: For trades and maintenance crews who need a complete 18V toolkit, the 8-piece combo kit covers the most common cordless tool applications in a single purchase. A cost-effective way to equip a new maintenance bay or refresh an ageing tool inventory across a unified platform.

HiKOKI Die Grinders, Rotary Hammers & Specialist Industrial Tools

• HiKOKI GP18DB(H4Z) 18V Brushless Die Grinder — Paddle Switch: The brushless die grinder with paddle switch is the preferred configuration for maintenance engineers and fabricators who need a positive grip activation for precision grinding, burring, and polishing work. The paddle switch provides tactile control during operation and prevents accidental start-up — important in confined maintenance environments.
• HiKOKI GP18DA(H4Z) 18V Brushless Die Grinder — Slide Switch: The slide switch variant of the HiKOKI die grinder suits applications requiring continuous run operation without sustained trigger pressure — ideal for extended grinding sessions on production lines and toolroom work. Brushless motor technology extends die life and reduces heat build-up over prolonged use.
• HiKOKI DH3640DA(HAZ) 36V Brushless SDS Max Rotary Hammer Kit: The 36V SDS Max rotary hammer is built for concrete drilling, chiselling, and demolition work in construction and civil maintenance. SDS Max tooling handles large-diameter concrete anchors, core drilling, and breaking work that SDS Plus tools cannot accommodate — relevant for structural maintenance and infrastructure applications.
• HiKOKI VB3616DA(HGZ) 36V Brushless Rebar Cutter & Bender Kit: The cordless rebar cutter and bender is a specialist tool for concrete construction and civil maintenance where reinforcing steel is regularly cut and shaped. Eliminating the need for manual cutters or dedicated benchtop machines improves workflow speed and reduces physical strain for crews handling high volumes of rebar on site.

People Also Ask — HiKOKI Power Tools

Q: What is HiKOKI and how does it relate to Hitachi?

HiKOKI is the new brand name for what was Hitachi Power Tools, following the divestiture from Hitachi in 2018. The factory, engineering, and product lines continued — HiKOKI is the same product range under a new badge. The rebrand applied progressively from 2018-2020; tools sold as Hitachi before that period are functionally identical. For warranty, parts, and service: Hitachi-badged and HiKOKI-badged tools are supported by the same parts and service network.

Q: HiKOKI 18V or 36V battery platform — which?

18V (5.0Ah or 6.0Ah batteries): lighter, longer runtime per dollar, suits standard trade and workshop use. Compatible with HiKOKI's wide 18V tool range. 36V Multi-Volt: same battery footprint and weight, double the voltage when used in 36V tools, runs heavy applications (chop saws, breaker hammers, large angle grinders) that 18V can't sustain. For volume site work or heavy-duty applications, 36V Multi-Volt is the better platform — but batteries cost more.

Q: Is HiKOKI better than Makita or DeWalt?

All three are top-tier professional brands. HiKOKI strengths: brushless motor performance, Japanese engineering quality, premium feel. Makita: largest range, broad accessory availability, established Australian service network. DeWalt: rugged construction, strong in commercial/civil trade segment. For workshop and trade decisions, the choice usually comes down to the existing battery platform you're invested in. AIMS stocks HiKOKI as the Japanese-engineering option alongside Makita; both have proven track records.

Q: What HiKOKI tools does AIMS stock?

Browse [/collections/hikoki](/collections/hikoki) for current stock — covers drills (corded and cordless), impact drivers, angle grinders, circular saws, jigsaws, reciprocating saws, hammer drills, oscillating tools, and accessories. AIMS keeps the high-volume HiKOKI workshop tools in stock; specialty items are available on indent. For new HiKOKI battery platform users, AIMS recommends starting with a 5-piece combo kit and adding tools as needed.

Q: Does HiKOKI use the same chuck and accessories as other brands?

HiKOKI uses industry-standard chucks (1/2" keyless, 1/4" hex, SDS-plus, SDS-max) — drill bits, hex bits, and SDS accessories cross between HiKOKI, Makita, Hitachi, Bosch, etc. Battery-platform accessories (batteries, chargers, brackets) are HiKOKI-specific and don't interchange with other brands' batteries. For consumables and accessories, you can use any quality brand's bits with HiKOKI tools.
