It can drill into a range of base materials, including wood, steel, masonry and light concrete.

The SF 180-A also features a 15 percent increase in gear teeth height for hard-hitting Hilti hammer performance. Longer Battery Life Drives Performance
The heart of a Hilti cordless tool is the gear efficiency. With even a normal battery, the SF 180-A provides a stronger output. When coupled with Hilti's innovative battery and charging technology, this efficiency helps provides the tool with a longer run time and more consistent performance. Hilti offers the SF 180-A with two battery options: a 2.0 amp-hour nickel cadmium (NiCd) or 3.0 amp-hour nickel metal hydride (NiMH). The NiMH batteries provide 50 percent more run time than standard batteries. The Hilti rapid charger, which comes with the 3.0 amp-hour nickel hydride (NiMH) battery, features a refresh button that helps refresh the batteries after every 40 charging cycles. The Hiti charger's refresh button puts new life into dead batteries by providing them with a charge that optimally conditions all battery cells in only 12 hours. Mobility for Comfortable Use in Tight Spaces
With its tapered, hammering resistant, all-metal chuck, the SF 180-A is perfect for accessibility in tight areas or corners. The Sure-Grip chuck sleeve makes bit changes and adjustments simple and fast, even in dirty jobsite environments. The hanmmer/drill/driver's "T" handle design optimizes the tool's balance and its rubber padded grip, base and side handle add to the operator's comfort as well as protect work surfaces from scratches. As they say, "powerful things come in small packages" and the Hilti SF 180-A 18-volt drill/driver with optimized torque and superb craftsmanship certainly fits the description.
