Covered by Hitachi's Lifetime Lithium Ion tool warranty, the DS18DBFL2 Driver Drill features Hitachi's Brushless motor technology that delivers more power to the motor by minimizing unnecessary energy loss through friction and heat. Managed by a micro-processor chip that efficiently delivers current flow to the motor, Brushless tools experience longer run time between charges, increased power, and extended durability with essentially no maintenance. Hitachi's signature ergonomic design for the tool body makes it extremely well-balanced and comfortable for extended use. It is an ideal driver drill for drilling into wood, plastic, mild steel and aluminum, plus its 22+1 stage clutch with 22 torque settings and a drill mode allow for precision and control based on the application.
