Hitachi DH18DL

Hitachi expands its offering of 18V Lithium Ion tools with the new 2-mode, DH18DL SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer. Designed for optimal performance when drilling holes for the installation of concrete anchors, the DH18DL weighs over 25% less than competitive models making it perfect for overhead drilling. Using an electro-pneumatic mechanism to produce 1 ft-lb of impact energy, the DH18DL can drill up to 105 holes on one charge. A factory set slip clutch protects the user and the gears in the event of a bound bit, while the idle strike restrictor prevents no-load hammering, eliminating unnecessary wear on integral parts.

• The 3.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries allow for longer run time in between charges and lighten the overall weight of the tool
• The two-step speed switch power mode gives you control over drilling speed allowing for fast and efficient drilling in larger diameters
• The save mode is designed to conserve battery power and prevent bending of small diameter bits
• The belt-hook with integrated LED light gives the convenience of a 5 position hook that can be directed to illuminate dimly lit workpieces
• The idle strike restrictor prevents no-load hammering, that helps extend the tool life
• The quick bit insert allows for the rapid changing of
• accessories
• The new compact and lightweight design is over 25% lighter
