Product Description Li-Ion Cordless Combo Kit, Kit Includes: DV18DL Hammer Drill, CR18DL Reciprocating Saw, Lantern, 2 3.0AH Lithium-Ion Batteries, Charger & Carrying Bag, Lithium-ion Batteries Are Backward Compatible With DVF3 & DMR Series Tools, #728704, 70 Piece, Drill & Drive Set.
Amazon.com Product Description This 3-piece professional-grade cordless combo kit from Hitachi includes everything you need to manage the job from start to finish. This kit comes complete with an 18-volt hammer drill, 18-volt reciprocating saw, lantern, universal charger, two interchangeable batteries, and a perfectly sized carrying bag to keep everything organized. At the center of this kit are two high-capacity, 3.0 Ah HXP lithium ion batteries. These exceptional batteries offer three times the life and half the weight of NiCd or NiMH batteries, so they're perfect for extended use. Your cordless tools will run longer without needing a change or charge, and you'll experience less user fatigue over the long haul. But don't worry about overexertion. All HXP batteries are equipped with internal circuitry to detect current interruption, a thermal protector, and an electronic switch that protects the battery from overcharge or discharge. Best of all, you can recharge them approximately 1300 - 1500 times, as opposed to an average of 500 charges for a NiCd or NiMH power source. 
The kit's three power tools can handle nearly any cutting, drilling, or screw driving job you're likely to encounter. View larger. | 
Unique 2-step speed switch give the ability to select from 4 different speed settings. | 
Universal charger charges 7.2 volt to 18 volt Hitachi Lithium-Ion batteries as well as NiCd and NiMH batteries of same voltage. | 
560 in-lbs of torque allows the Hitachi driver drill to power through the toughest jobs. | The new HXP batteries included with this kit are also backwards compatible, so they work with Hitachi's older and current DMR and DVF3 series 18-volt cordless tools. The 18-volt hammer drill (#DV18DL) weighs in at less than five pounds, but it's designed to perform like a much larger machine. With no-load speeds up to 1800 RPM and a maximum torque of 570 in./lb., this drill is ready for action. It features a unique 2-step switch that allows for four different speed settings (0-200/400/900/1800) so you always keep precise control over your projects, plus a 1/2-inch keyless drive and an impact rate of 0-21,000 IPM. The heavy-duty 18-volt reciprocating saw (#CR18DL) is simple to use with its tool-less blade change system, and it's custom-made for true durability. This saw's triple-sealed construction keeps out sawdust, dirt, and other motor-clogging debris for solid performance and steady power. Likewise, the included lantern (#UB18DL) is also rugged and reliable. It features two modes of operation -- LED or fluorescent -- and an adjustable 5-position handle so you can angle it to spotlight even the most awkward or tricky jobs. Rounding out this versatile, handy kit is a universal charger (#UC8YRL) that will revive almost any 7.2 - 18.0 volt lithium ion, NiMH, or NiCd battery -- and a ballistic-grade nylon bag that holds everything together for easy transport. The KC18DAL is covered by Hitachi's industry leading 5-year warranty. Batteries are warranted to the original purchaser for a period of ninety (90) days from the original purchase date.

pleased with product October 26, 2008 J. B. Taukinukufili (Las vegas, NV USA) Happy with the product it was just what I had hoped when I had received it. I still consider this product after having put it through the rigors of use to continue to be a quality product.
A Homeowner's Perspective January 5, 2008 B. Fanciulli (United States) I gave up on cordless drills over 5 years ago. I was absolutely sick of the one, maybe two, useful hours per charge from NiCad batteries and the fact that the power they provide degrades through the use of the charge, rendering the tools useless for anything other than very small jobs where a power source is not handy. I've owned this set for about a year now. I was very reluctant to invest again in cordless tools, but with some major home renovation projects ahead and after reading about the power, endurance, and reliability of Lithium rechargables, I settled on this set at the recommendation of Consumer Reports. I am extremely impressed with this technology. It takes several hours of hard use to wear these batteries down. There doesn't seem to be much, if any, degredation in power through the charge. However, there are warning signs of low power in that the tools will bind the last few uses--totally acceptable. The recharge time is only a few hours and the batteries are easily interchanged between the tools, making it such that you'll have zero down time if rotating between the two included battery packs. (Though you may want to get an extra if you plan on using the light in conjunction for bigger jobs, or if sharing the tools with a partner on the job.) The drill and saws-all have served me well. 18 volts is more than adequate for most home jobs, but it is worth every penny. The drill cuts through 4x4's with ease, bores concrete with little effort. Yet it has a wide range of easily changable settings, the best of which being the trigger-controlled variable speed, making it also useful for jobs as simple as light electrical work and picture hanging. It does have amazing torque--it's counter-balanced so it doesn't destroy your wrist and there are variable torque settings. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the extremely noisy hammer function is only on during the highest torque settings, furthering the drill's versatility. And the saws-all? I can't believe how I got this far through life without it. I would have given this set a 5-star rating had it not been for the durability of the drill. Granted, it is the most durable I have ever owned, however, after using it at the hammer setting when firring-out a basement wall over a period of several hours (about 50 bores), it somehow locked itself on the hammer setting and I can no longer turn it down. It sounds like some bearings popped loose in the torque selector. Again, it has served me well and I am happily purchasing another.
"My experience" August 27, 2007 Mike (Lancaster, PA) 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I am a pro carpenter working in commercial construction. I bought this combo kit last winter the day before I started "punch list duty" that lasted two months. I found this kit to perfect for running around a fifty unit apartment building looking for leaky pipes. The drill/sawzall/worklight combination is perfect for cutting a hole in the drywall, shining a nice bright flourescent light inside the wall while yelling at the plumber for forgetting to solder a 2" water pipe. I love the lithium Ion battery packs. One battery lasts a full day under rough use. The drill has plenty of power and the hammerdrill function saves me from having to drag a 100' cord everywhere I go. The are complaints, of course. I was working on a 6 foot scaffold and accidently knocked the drill off of the work platform. When the drill fell on the concrete floor it broke both plastic tabs that hold the battery in. My bosch drill would've survived that fall without a scratch. The Sawzall is pretty basic. Don't expect to use it as your main tool. I usually break out the milwaukee(w/cord) for heavy duty jobs. The cordless version is great for quick tasks only. Overall, I am pretty pleased with my purchase even though it looks like a basketball sneaker. I plan on buying the 18 volt Li-ion Impact driver to complete the set.
Awesome power, great quality January 12, 2007 J. J. Ram (Sacramento, CA) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a quality set. I am very happy with the features,quality, power and value this provides. The drill can be a little loud, but it is one the strongest in it's class. You'll be happy, just wait for a deal to come around on it.
Got to Love It! January 12, 2007 Ed the TOOL GUY (Strongsville, OH USA) 0 out of 5 found this review helpful
I'm the original TOOL GUY (way before Tim Allen and Binford), and I know tools! I own and use enough woodworking tools to make most woodworking shops envious. Although I have not had a chance to use this tool on a real project my initial impression is it `s a "WINNER". The drill/driver is well made and has impressive power (torque). The integral light is a great idea. Many times I have to hold a flashlight in on hand and drill with the other, never again. The carrying bag also deserves a high score. My former Ni-Cad powered drill/driver came in a plastic case that took up too much valuable storage space. The bag storage is compact and well made. I will add to this review when I get an opportunity to use it on my next project >>> Stay Tuned!
