Hitachi KC18DDL 18-Volt, Best Drills!! Look No..

Best Drills!! Look No Further

Bought these a few months ago and they are wonderful drills. The impact wrench has AMAZING power. It’s hard to believe how much power that little thing can put out. I used an older Hitachi impact wrench at work until it went missing over a weekend. It must have been the one tool with the most demand at the work site. I replace it a couple of days later by buying this two-piece set here at Amazon. I would advice you to consider buying the two separately, that way for only $70 more you end up with 4 batteries and 2 chargers (each one is worth over $100!!) In the set you only get 2 batteries and 1 charger. Either way the drills are just amazing!! Be prepared to have everybody at work coming around trying to borrow them! Enjoy!!

Update (5/19/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Did my homework. Hitachi drills were the right purchase…
Got this combo kit last Thursday. Used the impact drill to drive (7) 1/2 X 4 inch lag screws into a 2X10 ledger. Then used the power drill to drill various 2.5 and 3 inch deck screws into the ledger/joist hangers for a deck extension.

Then used the power drill with an auger attachment to pre-drill my 16 inch wide by 16 inches deep holes in the ground for my deck footing piers. Drill did not die. Just backed out of tree roots and then kept going. Started at 7am and the power drill battery died on me at 6:30pm. Switched to the impact drills battery and kept digging holes. Charged the dead battery, but by quitin time (8:15pm) didn’t need to change the 2nd battery.

This is exactly the type of performance that I wanted. Though I’m by electricity, I did not want to hassle with corded tools (other then my handy chopsaw). Got the circular saw and reciprocating saw coming enroute through Fed Ex tomorrow. After the rain passes by Wed of this week, I should be able to test the way the batteries last with the circular saw/sawzall. Got some 6 X 6 posts, 2X10X12 & 2X4’s to rip.

Judging by how the batteries performed with drilling the holes for the piers, I’m expecting them to allow for quite a number of rips. I think I’m getting my monies worth ouot of the drills, that’s for sure.

IT WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE HOW EASY THE IMPACT DRILL DROVE IN THE LAG SCREWS. EASY.

The 3 inch deck screws went into the treated lumber like it was slicing through butter. REALLY.

The battery life is AWESOME. I wanted the Makita tools. After reading up on Hitachi and now having used them, I don’t regret passing on the higher priced Makita tools.
