This two piece kit includes a cordless hammer drill and an impact driver. While cordless hammer drills are still a rare occurrence the Hitachi KC18DJL is one of the top models and one feature that you’ll be pleased to have. The impact driver is perfect for building decks or stairs. Driving in screws with ease this is one tool worth having if you want to speed up your jobs. The head is very compact which is great when you’re working in restricted areas.
Using the latest brush-less motor technology means that the unit will require less maintenance than it’s cheaper counterpart. This unit is no less powerful than a model using brushes so that is a plus. You can adjust the power level delivered by the battery pack so as to extend the life of the battery. Microprocessors embedded in base of the tool control the power output selected through the selection switches. For delicate jobs a slower speed offers much more control and require less charge.
Both the hammer drill and the impact driver are well constructed and tough. Built to withstand most knocks and falls yet remaining compact and easy to handle.
This 2-Piece Combo Kit is a quality product. The impact driver and hammer action of the drill is not only compact in size but a must for most jobs. The brushless technology reduces service costs as you no longer need to replace brushes and the power control system prolongs the time between charges.
