| Powers Through the Toughest Jobs with Precision The DS14DVF3 Driver Drill has a two-piece magnet motor that offers class-leading maximum torque of 300 in/lbs, so you can power through even the toughest jobs. And two-speed transmission is controlled by a one-touch speed knob that lets you choose the right setting for your job--either 0-400 RPM or 0-1,200 RPM. Also, a 22-stage clutch offers easy adjustments for high torque and precision driving in wood, plastic, steel, and aluminum. And with tool-less clutch adjustment, this drill handles precision fasteners, such as drywall screws, without damaging walls. Compact, Ergonomic Design for Easy Handling The DS14DVF3 has all the power you need and is still lightweight and compact enough to provide superior handling. At just 7-3/4 inches in length and weighing just four pounds, this tool reduces user fatigue and can be used on a ladder or in tight spaces where larger cordless drills can't reach. An added bonus, a non-slip elastomer grip provides comfort and safety. Adding to this drill's easy-handling features is a 3/8-inch keyless chuck that allows for easy bit changes, as well as a belt hook--with two bit holders--that saves time and adds convenience. Everything You Need in One Package The DS14DVF3 Kit includes more than just the cordless driver drill. It also includes a high-quality flashlight and a seven-piece bit set to get you started immediately. For further convenience, a protective carrying case stores it all for easy portability from job to job. Long-Lasting NiCD Batteries Charge in 35 Minutes The DS14DVF3 kit's driver drill and flashlight run on 1.4-Ah nickel cadmium (NiCD) batteries (included), which offer longer runtimes and fewer charges than traditional batteries. The kit's quick charger fully charges the batteries in just 35 minutes, and you can expect about 300 charges over the life of each battery. An added bonus, the charger is compatible with other Hitachi tools that use NiCD rechargeable batteries (up to 18 volts). The Hitachi DS14DVF3 Driver Drill Kit with Flashlight is backed by a lifetime warranty. What's in the Box DS14DVF3 driver drill, driver bit, seven-piece bit set, flashlight, two 1.4-Ah batteries, quick charger, and carrying case.

best for the money Mar 24, 2006
By JERRAD WAYNE I install cabinets for a living. I use cordless drills all day long, every day. After trying several brands, i have found that most are similar. The best attribute to the hitachi is the price. When the batteries are worn out, it is cheaper to buy a new drill(with 2 batteries and a charger) than to replace other brands batteries. I own three 14.4 volt drills, and one 12 volt impact driver. The impact driver lacks power.

skip it Aug 06, 2008
By STOAK

I own a lot of Hitachi power tools and like them all - until this drill came along. The battery doesn't last and is only powerful enough to place long screws in wood for 3 or 4 screws. My twelve year old Dewalt 12V is stronger and lasts longer (i bought the Hitachi because the price of it was about that of a new DeWalt battery - should have clued me in).
I do love the way it handles. If you need a drill for around the home that is not used extensively this may be a great buy. If you are a heavy user don't do this to yourself.

Not for professional Use Jan 03, 2006
By R. Antonacchio If you do any sort of construction at all stay away from this drill. I do aluminum work and this drill is definitely not up to snuff. It overheats and burns out after light screw running and the battery charge doesn't last more than 20 min. It is nice and small though and would be an ok drill for around the house light duty work.

To the other reviewers giving bad reviews, shutup already Oct 17, 2007
By Andrew Krone I've had this drill for over a year and I've purchased a second so I'll have two drills for big jobs. It has great battery life and exceptional torque for a 14.4V battery. The charger also charges a battery in about 20 minutes.
It's not an industrial drill for framing a house but it can build a fence and re-drywall an entire room without any problems (two jobs I've done with this drill).
It's unreasonable to complain about it not working if you drop it from 8 feet.
Oh, consumer reports also rates this a best buy.

DEAD AGAIN Feb 02, 2008
By Michael Wood
"toolaholic"
I expected more from hitachi! Coming from a carperter of 18 years, this tool will not make it in the field with me. I use it in the shop and around the house. I do like the drill itself and the flash-light is great. If you put charge on the battery for your next use, it will be dead less that 2 days in a nice warm shop. I can leave my makita in the truck for weeks in 20 degree weather an it will be ready to go when you need it.
