Hitachi KC18DAL 18-Volt 3-Piece Lithium-Ion Cordless Combo Kit

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 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.
