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.

 great tool light weight and good battery life October 3, 2009
Teresa M. Jones-wilson
Maybe I like this so much b/c it replaces a 10 year old porter cable drill driver but we are impressed with the power and battery life combined with the light weight. It is easy to handle and was a great value for the money.
Awesome for the homeowner and a GREAT PRICE! October 2, 2009

I got this set for just over $100 and all I can say is WOW! I have been using it now for 6 months with no images. I have remodeled parts of my house with it and it has worked wonderfully. Dewalt Batteries cost $90 at Home Depot and this entire setup was just $15 more! To be clear, I have used this item heavily. It even slid off my roof when I was putting on some siding on the 2nd floor and no problems at all. Great kit for the price. Highly recommended.
 CRAP DONT BUY LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE June 3, 2009

I bought 3 Crap-tachi drills that came with 6 batteries. After a year and a half 5 of the batteries have gone bad. You think you got this great warranty with it you don't its a joke read the fine print, it only covers the drill it self, so what do you do with a drill with no batteries? I called the customer service line its even worst, The customer service agent told me I should have bough a Makita instead and I would have not had this problem. So I went down to there repair center and talked to the guy about it, he says the all this Hitachi stuff is junk, and they have nothing but problems with it. [...]
Best homeowner drill April 21, 2009
Naseer Siddique (Poughkeepise, NY United States)
I upgraded to this when my 12v Black & Decker was unable to unscrew a drywall screw that we inherited with our house. In college, I've had great experiences building large projects with borrowed Dewalt tools, and I was a firm believer in that brand. But now that it's time to buy, I didn't think I could justify the incredibly high cost.
So after doing some research on Consumer Reports and on here, I thought I'd give Hitachi a try. The price, at $125 on Amazon, is $100 less than the 18v Dewalt, and I find it performs just as well for my purposes. The construction is not heavy-duty, but it is far better and sturdier than the 12v Black & Decker, and it should be fine as long as you don't plan to drop it or run over it with a truck (I assume this can happen often at a construction site, but will not happen at my house, knock on wood).
I am a new firm believer in Hitachi tools and will likely continue to build out my toolset with this brand.
Great tools from hitachi March 3, 2009
Joseph Dapper (Normal, IL USA)
First off, my wife bought me their 10" miter saw last year as a present. Love the saw, going to use it to build my deck this summer. I bought the drill and flashlight combo with a bit of this years tax return. I have so far fixed a screen door, drilled some scrap wood and drove some screws as a test. This drill is great for all that and since im only a DIYer i dont expect to put it or my saw through the kind of use a professional would so i think ill be alright with the battery life and parts wearing out. i also picked up the quick change drill bit and screw driver set and havent had a problem with the chuck as far as that goes. So far so good..GO HITACHI!
