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

- Best Drill I've owned
- If you are in the market for an 18V 1/2 Drill I can tell you I looked at them all. I had a Bosch 14.4 for a long time and it was a great drill until I dropped it. That is when my search for a 18V replacement began.
There are a lot of options from Milwaukee to Dewalt, etc but as for quality, weight, build and price… More reviews
- Great drill, lights on charger need rethinking.
- So far this drill has done the trick for everything I need. I've used it to hang curtains, install a fan, install hooks in the laundry room, and other odds and ends around the house--all on one battery charge.
A bit of a warning on the battery charger. The light blinks red for 0.5 seconds as the battery charges. The… More reviews
- Very Dissapointing Tool
- I can not recommend this cordless driver drill. I inspected the drill upon arrival and noticed that without a bit in the chuck it appeared to have excessive runout (A.K.A. wobble). I inspected it with various drill bits and driver bits and saw the same thing. I then tested the drill with a runout gauge and measured the same problem.… More reviews
- Hitachi Li-ion drill DS18DL
- I purchased this item as my previous generation 14V Skil cordless drill stopped working. This Hitachi is light weight and just powerful. I charged the battery and it is good to go for light work for two weeks. I am sure if I used it to the hilt I may have to charge it at the end of the day, but I never tried it that way.
For someone at my age with… More reviews
- The best ever
- I have had plenty of cordless drills, including a Makita, and 2 Dewalts. This one is by far the best. The light is a feature I especially like. It is smooth, powerful and well built. The chuck is a real Jacobs chuck. For the extra money, this "industrial" quality model is well worth it over the "consumer" model. More reviews
