Amazon.com Product Description:
Look past the radically cool design of Hitachi's new DS18DL Lithium-Ion Drill/Driver -- which is admittedly hard to do -- and you'll find one of the very toughest, best- engineered cordless drills on the market. This compact, pro-duty tool is powered by a high- tech 18-volt lithium-ion battery that produces an impressive 560 in./lbs. of torque for drilling large-diameter holes and driving long screws through the toughest materials.


Unique 2-step speed switch give the ability to select from 4 different speed settings.


Designed to feel like a 12 volt while experiencing the power of an 18 volt.


Batteries have a recharge life of 1,300 to 1,500 times.


Circuit technology prevents battery from losing full power when in use, and from overheating when charging.




560 in-lbs of torque allows the Hitachi driver drill to power through the toughest jobs. View larger.
Lithium-ion batteries represent the very latest in cordless tool technology and offer three times the life at half the weight of standard nicad or nickel-metal hydride batteries. And the tool's quick charger recharges lithium-ion batteries in just 45 minutes.

The DS18DL has a 1/2-inch keyless chuck that's equipped with 22 slip-clutch settings, which allows for precise control when driving screws. Match the clutch setting to the screw size and hardness of the wood, and you won't have to worry about driving the screw too deep or stripping the screw head. For even greater control, the tool has a unique two-step speed switch that offers four different speed settings ranging from zero to: 200, 400, 900 or 1,800 rpm.

Other features include a soft-grip handle, externally accessible carbon brushes, and a convenient belt hook that houses an integral LED work light.


The DS18DL comes with two 18-volt lithium-ion batteries, a quick charger, auxiliary side handle, two screwdriver tips, and carrying case. It's covered by Hitachi's industry leading 5-year warranty. Joseph Truini
