DS18DL Cordless Driver Drill with Class-Leading Torque
Powered by lithium-ion technology, the DS18DL weighs just 4.6 pounds. It has a class-leading 570 in./lbs. of turning torque, so it will power through the toughest jobs with ease. A unique two-step speed switch allows you to select from four different speed settings for your fastening and drilling applications.

Always user-friendly, the DS18DL has a comfortable grip that minimizes fatigue on all-day jobs. It also has easy carbon-brush access to help extend the life of the tool. For further ease of use, this driver drill features a convenient five-position belt hook with an integrated LED light.

WH18DL Impact Driver with Cool Flow System
Producing 1,330 in./lbs. of torque and weighing just 3.5 pounds, the WH18DL Impact Driver is ideal for tackling projects like sinking deck screws, hanging doors, and installing cabinets and windows. The industrial-grade, two-piece motor uses heavy-gauge copper coils to increase both power and durability. Hitachi's unique Cool Flow system further enhances durability by supplying a steady stream of air to the motor for harder and longer impacts without motor burnout.

The WH18DL Impact Driver is powered by lithium-ion technology and features the same easily accessible carbon brush and five-position belt hook as the DS18DL Driver Drill.

HXP Lithium-Ion Batteries Last Longer and Weigh Less
The KC18DDL Combo Kit includes two 3.0-Ah HXP lithium-ion batteries. These batteries weigh half of what traditional NiCd or NiMH batteries weigh--in fact, tools featuring HXP batteries are on average one pound lighter than tools using traditional batteries.

Additionally, HXP batteries last three times longer than their competition. Where NiCd and NiMH batteries could be used for up to 500 charge cycles, HXP Lithium-Ion batteries can be used for up to 1,500 charge cycles!

HXP Lithium-Ion batteries operate within optimal voltage limits, protecting both the tool and batteries from damage. Protection circuitry built into the batteries and charger monitors the charge and discharge for each battery cell, resulting in peak operating performance.

If a surge in power is detected during use, Hitachi's Over-Current Protection technology will temporarily shut of the power to protect the batteries and tool from being damaged. This feature allows the power to return to optimal voltage, thereby extending battery and tool life beyond any competitive lithium-ion products.

HXP batteries come with a two-year HXP Lithium-Ion Battery Warranty, which protects against possible defects in materials and workmanship.

The Industry's Longest Lithium-Ion Tool Warranty
Every Hitachi cordless power tool is designed to the highest standards and rigorously tested for both performance and durability. All HXP Lithium-Ion cordless tools come with a Lifetime Lithium-Ion Tool Warranty, which protects against possible defects in materials and workmanship.
