Class-Leading Torque and Powerful Impact Rate
With 460 in./lbs. of torque, the DV14DL is able to handle a variety of different materials, such as wood, brick, and aluminum. The 22-stage clutch lets you dial in the perfect amount of torque for the job, whether you're drilling, fastening, or hammering.



No-tool bit changes and LED illumination are two of the conveniences that come with this drill.
View larger.
Setting the DV14DL to hammer mode is as simple as turning the clutch mechanism to the 'T' setting. Once in hammer mode, the DV14DL features an impact rate of 0-21,000 BPM for breaking up concrete or brick.

Two-Step Speed Switch for Maximum Control
The DV14DL's unique two-step speed switch offers a total of four speed settings for tackling various applications with greater precision and control: 0-200, 400, 850, and 1,750 RPM.

Additionally, high-speed and low-speed settings are located right on the top of the drill, and a switch-over lever located on the handle lets you change the speed setting to Power Mode for greater power or Save Mode for slower speeds and greater battery preservation.

Full of User-Friendly Features
The DV14DL has plenty of features that were designed with you in mind. To start, a built-in five-position belt hook offers convenience on the job, and an integrated LED work light provides illumination in dimly lit areas. Additionally, the drill's soft-grip handle is ergonomically designed for comfort and ease of use, and the removable side handle provides leverage for breaking concrete and brick. To top it off, the DV14DL features a 3/8-inch keyless chuck for quick and easy bit changes.

HXP Lithium-Ion Batteries Last Longer and Weigh Less
The DV14DL comes with 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.

What's in the Box
DV14DL Hammer Drill, two 3.0-Ah lithium-ion post-style batteries, quick charger, side handle, driver bit, and case.



The DV14DL 14.4V Lithium-Ion Cordless hammer-drill driver is ideal for tightening and loosening fasteners, drilling into wood materials, plastic, steel, aluminum, brick and concrete block. This has a 3/8" chuck. Powered by HXP 3.0Ah batteries from Hitachi, the new lithium ion technology generates 3x the life of standard batteries. They are significantly lighter to reduce the overall weight of the tools they power. And Hitachi's HXP lithium ion batteries are uniquely backwards compatible, meaning they will also work in 14.4V DMR and DVF3 cordless tools for even more flexibility and value across the cordless line. This hammer drill offers 460 in/lbs of torque to power through tough materials. A unique two-step speed switch is located on the side of the handle and gives the user the ability to select from 4 different speed settings (0-200/400/850/1750 RPM) for ultimate control. Other features include an externally accessible carbon brush for quick and easy maintenance, replaceable armature, 2-piece rare-earth magnet motor and a 5-position belt hook with integrated LED job light for convenience.

Versatile, Dependable Two-Speed Drill Driver
Ideal for completing plumbing or electrical installation work, finish carpentry tasks, and general construction projects, this 14.4-volt drill driver from Panasonic delivers 390 inch-pounds of full torque at any speed, so you can be confident that it will get tough jobs done. And with a two-speed gearbox, you can ensure that you're using this tool smartly and effectively. The ability to select high and low speeds to meet the specific demands of different jobs helps prevent you from damaging work materials, saving you frustration and money, and it prolongs the life of your tool.

This drill driver is also equipped with an 18-stage clutch plus drill position. This clutch helps ensure accuracy and control while you're working, and it further extends the life of your drill driver by making sure the correct amount of power is available for a variety of applications.

Other features include a 1/2-inch, heavy-duty keyless chuck, which makes changing bits quick and easy; an electric brake; and a handy belt hook for easy storage when both your hands are occupied with other tasks. The drill driver has compact size of seven inches and weighs only 3.5 pounds.

Time- and Energy-Saving Impact Driver
Not all fastening projects are created equal--that's why it makes sense to use an impact driver for repetitive tasks, driving long wood screws, and lag screw fastening, not to mention driving nuts and loosening tough bolts. Unlike traditional screwdrivers, impact drivers like the one in this kit use both bit rotation and concussive blows to drive screws through the toughest materials quickly and efficiently. This makes an impact driver invaluable for jobs like air conditioning installation, automotive repair and assembly, or assembling and disassembling scaffolding.

The impact driver in this kit puts up to 1330 inch-pounds of torque at your disposal, preventing wear-and-tear on your body and helping you get big projects done in no time. With the choice of three speeds, you can customize the driver's performance to meet the needs of different jobs. And at just 6.5 inches in length and weighing 3.1 pounds, this driver fits neatly in tight spaces, which is equally valuable when you are tightening bolts in awkward places and when you're organizing your work truck at the end of the day.

Behind the reliability of this impact tool is a variety of advanced Panasonic technology, including a brushless motor that delivers twice the lifespan of a conventional brush motor. This motor runs cooler than a brush motor, and it offers improved efficiency, resulting in longer run time per battery charge.

This impact driver also makes use of an advanced electronic switch, which delivers twice the lifespan of a conventional switch by reducing the amount of current running through the switch as you work.

Ergonomic Features Keep You Comfortable and Productive
Each of these tools offers a compact, ergonomic design that reduces fatigue, so you can tackle big jobs that require repetitive screw driving or drilling without worrying about discomfort. Well balanced with comfortable rubber grips, these tools fit neatly in your hands, and they offer conveniently placed controls for intuitive operation.

They each offer an LED work light that illuminates your work area, allowing you to secure materials accurately under dimly lit conditions.

Reliable, Quick-Charge Battery Power
Effective battery power means no more tangled extension cords that can limit your movement or cause a tripping hazard. That's why both these Panasonic tools are powered by 3.0Ah Cobalt Li-ion battery packs that can be fully charged in just 50 minutes.

These battery packs delivers high output with low heat generation, resulting in twice the lifetime total performance of current Ni-Cd battery packs, which you might see used with similar drills.

In addition, these tools utilize Panasonic's unique GuardION system. Panasonic's unique GuardION system monitors each battery cell during battery charging and during tool use to prevent over-discharging and overheating of your battery packs, ensuring long battery life so that your tools are ready to go when you reach for them.

The included universal charger can be used to charge all Panasonic battery chemistries, including Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, and Li-ion, and all voltages from 7.2 to 24 volts.

A versatile flashlight and a molded plastic case for easy transport and storage of your tools are also included with this kit.
