Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hitachi DS18DVF3 18-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit

Customer Review: A Waste of Money
Summary: 1 Stars

Purchased this product in May of 2009 for basic residential use. The drill's chuck is very inferior and it takes multiple efforts to align drill bits. When drilling, the chuck often loses its grip and the bit just slips. The latest fiasco is the drill's inability to hold the power pack which simply falls out of the drill and crashes to the floor. Very disappointed with the quality of this product and would not recommend to anyone seeking a basic drill. The flashlight is the best thing about this kit.

Description of Hitachi DS18DVF3 18-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit

Hitachi's model
Hitachi DS18DVF3 18-Volt 1/2-Inch Driver Drill Kit with Flashlight offers professional-grade performance in a convenient package. The drill has a two-speed transmission and 22-stage clutch that make it ideal for working in wood, plastic, mild steel, and aluminum. And with a compact, lightweight design, the drill reduces user fatigue and fits into tight spaces. In addition to the drill, the DS18DVF3 kit includes a bit set, flashlight, quick charger, and more.

Powers Through the Toughest Jobs with Precision
The DS18DVF3 Driver Drill has a two-piece magnet motor that offers class-leading maximum torque of 400 in/lbs, so you can power through even the toughest jobs. And two-speed transmission is controlled by a one-touch speed knob that lets you choose the right setting for your job--either 0-400 RPM or 0-1,200 RPM.

Also, a 22-stage clutch offers easy adjustments for high torque and precision driving in wood, plastic, steel, and aluminum. And with tool-less clutch adjustment, this drill handles precision fasteners, such as drywall screws, without damaging walls.

Compact, Ergonomic Design for Easy Handling
The DS18DVF3 has all the power you need and is still lightweight and compact enough to provide superior handling. At just 7-3/4 inches in length and weighing just 4.4 pounds, this tool reduces user fatigue and can be used on a ladder or in tight spaces where larger cordless drills can't reach. An added bonus, a non-slip elastomer grip provides comfort and safety.

Adding to this drill's easy-handling features is a 1/2-inch keyless chuck that allows for easy bit changes, as well as a belt hook--with two bit holders--that saves time and adds convenience.

Everything You Need in One Package
The DS18DVF3 Kit includes more than just the cordless driver drill. It also includes a high-quality flashlight and a seven-piece bit set to get you started immediately. For further convenience, a protective carrying case stores it all for easy portability from job to job.

Long-Lasting NiCD Batteries Charge in 35 Minutes
The DS18DVF3 kit's driver drill and flashlight run on 1.4-Ah nickel cadmium (NiCD) batteries (included), which offer longer runtimes and fewer charges than traditional batteries.

The kit's quick charger fully charges the batteries in just 35 minutes, and you can expect about 300 charges over the life of each battery. An added bonus, the charger is compatible with other Hitachi tools that use NiCD rechargeable batteries (up to 18 volts).

The Hitachi DS18DVF3 Driver Drill Kit with Flashlight is backed by a five-year warranty.

What's in the Box
DS18DVF3 driver drill, driver bit, seven-piece bit set, flashlight (UB18D), two 1.4-Ah batteries, quick charger (UC18YG), and carrying case.
