Description:

The DV14DL 14.4V Lithium-Ion Cordless hammer-drill driver is ideal for tightening and loosening fasteners, drilling into wood materials, plastic, steel, aluminum, brick and concrete block. This has a 3/8" chuck. Powered by HXP 3.0Ah batteries from Hitachi, the new lithium ion technology generates 3x the life of standard batteries. They are significantly lighter to reduce the overall weight of the tools they power. And Hitachi's HXP lithium ion batteries are uniquely backwards compatible, meaning they will also work in 14.4V DMR and DVF3 cordless tools for even more flexibility and value across the cordless line. This hammer drill offers 460 in/lbs of torque to power through tough materials. A unique two-step speed switch is located on the side of the handle and gives the user the ability to select from 4 different speed settings (0-200/400/850/1750 RPM) for ultimate control. Other features include an externally accessible carbon brush for quick and easy maintenance, replaceable armature, 2-piece rare-earth magnet motor and a 5-position belt hook with integrated LED job light for convenience. Compact at only 9.84-inches in length and lightweight at 4.6 lbs, the DS14DL feels like a 9.6V tool, while offering the power and performance of a 14.4V.

I'm an retired construction project manager(commercial/industrial) and I fully researched this Hitachi drill/driver before I purchased it. It's replacing a great 13 year old Porter Cable 12V d/d (with Magna-Quench!), for which good batteries and chargers are now all but non-existent.
br / In the month I've had the Hitachi, it's drilled 1/2 in holes through 65-70 4x fence posts, a number of concrete holes for patio and threshold repairs, a bunch of small starter holes for cabinet and shelf installs, not mention countless wood, concrete, and sheet metal screws. I love it!
br / It has about double the power of my old PC, has the added features of the hammer for concrete work and the opposed handle, has excellent battery lasting power (only had to change once during a big all day job) but is about the same weight as the PC. When I first got it, it looked like a Flash Gordon ray gun, but now it's starting to burly up.
br / Great price and quick delivery from Amazon. Highly recommend this d/d for a pro who needs the drill power and for all-around home use. It's a great compromise of power, weight, versatility, and price.

Very good product

I have only had this drill for a couple of weeks, but it is by far the best cordless drill I have ever had. It has a lot of torque and performed well even when I drilled into some concrete with a dull bit. I have had two other cordless drills, a Makita (a good drill, but not in this class) and a Craftman (mostly a piece of junk), and this one is great. It came with both batteries charged, so it was ready to go right out of the box. Also, the carrying case is actually large enough to hold all the parts after you use them. I do think they could have included two screwdriver bits, rather than just the one. Other than that I am very pleased with the drill, especially the hammer drill feature.
