Hitachi's DV18DL 18-Volt Hammer Drill features class-leading 570 in./lbs. of torque to power through the toughest materials. Its unique two-step switch lets you select from four different speed settings to dial in the perfect speed for the job.
The ergonomically designed grip and handle provide maximum leverage, and the five-position belt hook and lightweight design allow you to take this tool anywhere. The DV18DL is 9.95 inches long and weighs just 4.9 pounds.
CR18DL 18-Volt Reciprocating Saw with Triple-Seal Design
With an innovative triple-sealed body that protects the saw from dust, water, and debris, a fan-cooled motor, and replaceable carbon brushes, the CR18DL Reciprocating Saw is a durable tool built for years of consistent performance. Its powerful motor generates 0-2,100 strokes per minute for cutting wood, metal, and composites.
The CR18DL's ergonomic design and tool-less blade changing system provide comfort and efficiency. Compact and lightweight, the CR18DL measures 18-3/16 x 9-3/4 x 3-5/35 inches (LxHxW) and weighs just 7.5 pounds.
C18DL 18-Volt 6-1/2-Inch Circular Saw with Left-Mounted Blade
The C18DL Circular Saw features a 6-1/2-inch adjustable blade that's left mounted for easy accessibility and quick blade changes. This lightweight, compact, cordless circular saw is packed with power. In fact, its motor spins the blade at a no-load speed of 3,400 RPM for cutting through various materials up to 2-1/4 inches thick at 90 degrees or 1-9/16 inches at 45 degrees.
The Elastomer grip and electric brake provide comfort and safety during operation, and the built in spotlight illuminates your work surface for cut-line visibility. The C18DL weighs 7.1 pounds.
UB18DL Two-Mode Lantern Provides LED or Florescent Illumination
The unique UB18DL Two-Mode Lantern can operate in Florescent or LED mode, depending upon the lighting application. In LED mode, the lantern can run up to 150 hours on a single charge; in florescent mode, it can run up to five hours before needing a charge. For convenience, the automatic switch changes the lantern from florescent to LED when the battery gets low.
And with a convenient 360-degree, eight-position handle, the lantern can be hung from a pipe, rail, tree, or it can be carried with ease. It measures 11-25/32 x 3-3/16 x 4-3/16 inches (HxWxD) and weighs 0.9 pounds and is compatible with both 14.4-volt and 18-volt Hitachi lithium-ion rechargeable batteries.
HXP Batteries Last Three Times Longer and Weigh 50% Less
The included 3.0-Ah HXP lithium-ion batteries (2) weigh half of what traditional NiCd or NiMH batteries weigh--in fact, tools featuring HXP batteries are on average one pound lighter than tools using traditional batteries.
Additionally, HXP batteries last three times longer than their competition. Where NiCd and NiMH batteries could be used for up to 500 charge cycles, HXP Lithium-Ion batteries can be used for up to 1,500 charge cycles!
HXP Lithium-Ion batteries operate within optimal voltage limits, protecting both the tool and batteries from damage. Protection circuitry built into the included batteries and charger monitors the charge and discharge for each battery cell, resulting in peak operating performance.
And if a surge in power is detected during use, Hitachi's Over-Current Protection technology will temporarily shut of the power to protect the batteries and tool from being damaged. This feature allows the power to return to optimal voltage, thereby extending battery and tool life beyond any competitive lithium-ion products.
HXP batteries come with a two-year HXP Lithium-Ion Battery Warranty, which protects against possible defects in materials and workmanship.
The Industry's Longest Lithium-Ion Tool Warranty
Every Hitachi cordless power tool is designed to the highest standards and rigorously tested for both performance and durability. All HXP Lithium-Ion cordless tools come with a 10-year Lithium-Ion Tool Warranty, which protects against possible defects in materials and workmanship.

Excellent Tools

Overall I am extremely satisfied with the quality and performance of these tools. As a bundle, I think this is a fantastic kit of tools. I wanted to give this a great review out of the box, but I forced myself to try each tool first. They confirmed my expectations and are high quality and very well powered. I'm going to have these tools a long long time.
Hitachi uses a liberal amount of soft touch rubber in their tools. It's not too soft or compliant, but on all tools I'm able to shift hand position without fear of losing grip. The softer rubber is also very easy on the hands, especially without gloves. The design helps reduce weight and along with the LI-Ion batteries, these tools are very manageable.
Hammer Drill - DV18DL - I'm impressed with the power of this drill. Also the four speed ranges of this drill allows me to select the optimal range for the work. The torque adjustment is simple, and combined with the keyless chuck, the whole front end is very well built and sturdy. It has a nice LED light that can be adjusted to shine on the work and also serves as a belt clip. I had a Ryobi cordless drill and this one is a quantum leap over what I used to have.
Circular Saw - C18DL - I test ran this on some fir 2x4s. Very nice weight on this, not too heavy. I'm used to big heavy saws so this was really nice to use. It's only a 6-1/2" blade, which is a good size I suppose for cordless saws, and I really didn't have any trouble working with it. I ran it through the wood, ripped a bit, and also tried plunge cuts. The saw never bogged down or hesitated. It comes with a really nice blade. Features I enjoy are the soft rubber stability grip and the blade lock. It also comes with a light that shines in front of the blade, which in the pacific northwest is nice since winter days aren't really that light. Great tool.
Reciprocating Saw - CR18DL - I gave this the most work. I cut through some wet wood and cut up an old bush that I needed to fit into the yard bin. Performance was again excellent. The saw never hesitated even in the 3" green trunk of the bush. The keyless blade system is excellent. I ran the saw both very stable (stabilized on the wood surface) and with the blade floating and the tree (and saw) vibrating like crazy. The blade did not shake loose or damage. The front boot is also from a thick, but soft rubber so I always felt in control of the cut. The speed control is really nice and you can have a soft touch control. Another great tool.
Light - A nice flourescent light. The cool thing with the light is the handle and hanging system. The light can be stood on end for the floor or hung from the ceiling. Gives off a fair amount of light. This light will definately be nice when working under the house.
Accessories - The kit comes with two batteries and a charger. The charger has a cooling fan that comes on autmatically when charging the battery. The kit also comes with a heavy duty bag that can hold all the tools, charger, and my own accessories blades and bits, with room to spare. It has a lot of pockets inside the bag as well.

Worth the Money and then some!!!!!

For the money and waranty(5 YEARS, compared to 1 like most others) you cant ask for more....I shopped at lowes and was just looking for a quality drill and it started with just looking for a basic 18v drill, the lowes guy sold me on the 18v hitachi there, and it was 189.99. so i started looking at the combo kits there and saw that they had one for 299.99 so i thought for another 110 bux i can get a circular saw and sawzall and light. what a steal and i get the same drill. so i didnt buy it that nite, i came home started looking at hitachi's website and found this one, this kit came with the same stuff except it was lithium ion batteries and had the cordless hammer drill with in class leading 570 in/lbs of torque (about 60 ft/lbs for those who need to know.) that same drill costs 299.99 at lowes by itself. so for another 43 dollars i got that and more.
The 2 saws are PHENOMENAL TOO, i never thought i would like a cordless circular saw, but i have been redoing some sub floors lately and that thing has no problem ripping 3/4 inch plywood all day long. the sawzall is just a sturdy, cuts through ANYTHING!!!! Even the lantern that comes with the kit is handy, never thought i would say that, but it does the job i need it to do.
The batteries are strong when they get weak it will just shut off, saving the electric motors of all the tools, GREAT FEATURE, instead of most typical tools just lags its way down till it has nothing left, thats hard on the brushes and will burn a motor up quick. quick charger that works like a champ too, a bit noisy cause of the cooling fan that is built in but keeps you in business. Only wish for all the stuff u get would like to have 1 more battery added.
The bag for all the tools is a good one as well, and this comes from a guy who loves to have hard cases for his cordless tools, but has pleanty of room for all your tools and the charger too.
BUY THIS KIT, ITS WORTH IT!!!!!

Excellent Kit!

I have been in the market for a new combo kit for sometime and interested in upgrading to lithium ion. I have owned a Craftsman kit and decided to upgrade after seeing the introduction of the Lithium Ion kits recently. After doing some research on different kits from Craftsman, Makita, Ridgid, DeWalt and others I settled on the Hitachi because of several features.
The Drill
Quality Jacobs Metal single sleeve chuck. Makes it easy to tighten down on a bit.
2 Speed Gear Box-Allowing you to switch between low and high depending on your application. It also has a cool feature that allows you to use as a screwdriver so you don't damage the screwhead. I haven't seen that on any other drill.
21 position clutch-while I find any more than about 6 too many having additional positions might be helpful.
Light-Again not a must have kind of nice when working in situations where there isn't much light.
Belt Hook-I find myself clipping it to the side of my bucket when working in places where I don't need my full tool box. The drill is a little heavy to attach to my belt but having the hook is nice nonetheless.
Overall the drill feels very comfortable and not bulky heavy luck other drills in the same class that I looked at. The weight is distributed nicely throughout the tool so using the drill doesn't wear out my arm. The 18v is great as well and has plenty of power for any job.
The Recip Saw
Easily the best feeling recip saw I have used or tried. It is compact enough to fit within studs or under the sink for cutting pipe. The boot is made of rubber and feels very tacky which is nice when my hands are sweating. The blades are easy to change as it has a toolless blade change.
Circ Saw
Again, a great feeling tool. The last cordless one I owned had a small blade so having the 6 1/2" is much better. This allows me to use it to cut most pieces of wood as I rarely use the entire depth of my 7 1/4" saw.
Light-nice but again not a huge deal. For those of us with poor eyes it helps to have the additional light so nice to have.
Front Handle-Rubber and easy to hold. Very nice addition!
Blade Lock-Makes changing blades easy!
Light
Nice light with hook. I can hang it any or leave it flat on the ground. While this really isn't a tool good luck finding a combo kit without it. I like using the light especially under the sink!
Charger-Charges batteries fast and has a fan on it to keep it cool.
Overall I am very happy with the kit. The bag it comes in is great and when I am doing jobs I can carry other tools in it. For instance recently when putting in ceiling fans I was able to put the romex I needed, fasteners and other supplies needed. I never had to go back down the ladder and get anything!
