Even though it may appear like a toy at first glance with its lime green color, the Hitachi DS18DL cordless drill isn’t anything to take lightly. Out of all the professional drills currently seen in stores, this one certainly ranks near the top. Delivering an unprecedented amount of power and many different speed options, this cordless drill is designed for professionals.

To start let us discuss the power. The Hitachi DS18DL comes packing 570 in. lbs. of torque, a 22-stage clutch, and 4 individual speed options. Several drills only use 2 speed settings, which means this one is 2x better than any other and I know you will love that feature. This Hitachi drives simply through wood, metal, and aluminum as if it is nothing and is sure to aid you in finishing any job quickly. When talking about sheer power in a cordless drill, this is one of the best without a doubt.

Now, we will talk about the comfort and grip. The Hitachi DS18DL has a weight of approximately 4.6 lbs. and a length of 9.95 inches. Although it is a bit longer in length than some different drills, it’s still sturdy and comfortable to hold in your hand. It has a soft-grip, and the side-handle gives you even more control and stability. To sum it up, this Hitachi is extrememly comfortable to use and shouldn’t tire out your arms too early.

The battery life and recharge time are an additional two necessary parts to a great cordless drill and the Hitachi DS18DL will not disappoint you. This drill includes two 3.0 Ah HXP 18-V Lithium-Ion batteries that last 3x longer than normal batteries. Shockingly,, they also are half the weight as normal batteries too. These batteries also have a speedy recharge time and since you receive two of them, you will never see any downtime.

A few more extremely unique characteristics of the Hitachi DS18DL are the LED worklight, 5 position belt-hook, 2 bit holders, spindle lock, and carbon brush.

All in all, this Hitachi has everything you could need if you’re a professional and need a heavy-duty drill to finish your projects. Even if you’re only a DIYer and like small home projects, you will have tons of fun working with this drill.
