Lightweight Slide Batteries for Easy Handling and an Ergonomic Grip
Both the DS18DSAL and the WH18DSAL are powered by long-lasting 1.5 Ah lithium ion slide batteries that deliver professional power in the most compact, lightweight, and ergonomically designed tool bodies on the market. Because they don't contain a vertical cell chamber like those found in post-style batteries, these new slide batteries glide easily into place and allow for an ergonomic handle that's comfortable to hold. Additionally, because these Lithium Ion slide batteries weigh roughly 50-percent less than NiCd or NiMH batteries, the result is a more balanced tool body that minimizes user fatigue while maximizing control and accuracy.Lithium-Ion Technology for Long-Lasting Power
As with all of Hitachi's lithium ion tools, the lithium ion slide-type batteries receive a steady stream of power for the duration of every battery charge, from the moment the trigger is pulled until the charge cycle is exhausted. These batteries also offer up to three times the number of charge cycles of traditional batteries, and they come with a patented battery charger with unique circuitry that prevents overheating or power loss, saving you both time and replacement costs. Innovative, User-Friendly Features
The DS18DSAL and the WH18DSAL offer a host of user-friendly features to help you get the job done quickly and easily. First, metal belt hooks keep the tools conveniently in reach at all times while LED job lights illuminate the work surface for accurate bit alignment in dim environments. Additionally, responsive, variable-speed triggers help you reach the right speed and power to match the job. Two Powerful Tools for Both Light and Heavy Applications
To help you tackle a variety of tasks, the DS18DSAL has a 1/2-inch ratcheting keyless metal chuck and a 22+1 clutch with 22 torque settings and a drill mode for ultimate precision and control in both forward and reverse. For heavier applications, the WH18DSAL delivers 1,280 in./lbs. of torque to tighten bolts, drive lags, and sink screws. Bonus Flashlight for Adjustable Illumination
As a bonus, this kit comes with Hitachi's UB18DAL Lithium Ion Flashlight. Adjustable to five lighting positions, this flashlight stands alone while you work and can be aimed where you need illumination. A shoulder strap makes for easy, comfortable carrying, and a low-battery indicator light helps ensure that you don't run out of power mid-use. And because the UB18DAL runs on the same 18-volt slide batteries as the driver drill, it shares the same lithium ion benefits of long battery life, lasting power per charge, and lightweight convenience. Warranty Information
For even more value and peace of mind, each of these tools is covered by Hitachi's 10-year lithium ion tool warranty and two-year lithium ion battery warranty. About Hitachi: Breathing Life into a New Era

Great product bargain price comparable to DeWalt Jun 27, 2010
I bought this 6/24/2010 at Lowes PM'd to Frys for $198.99. Early this week I actually purchased the DeWalt 2 piece 18v li-ion kit (impact and driver drill) for 279+tax. I heard the reviews about DeWalt declining in quality but given my old tools I felt I needed to buy DeWalt first. Well when I came home opened up the box to find that the high/low torque switch was broken on the DeWalt driver. I immediately returned the set and had full intentions of replacing it with another DeWalt kit. Unfortunately or luckily my local lowes did not have the same DeWalt set instock. I decided to browse around when I caught notice that Hitachi had a similar set (this very kit i'm giving review on) for even cheaper than the DeWalt. Skeptical about this product, hitachi is known for other things but not tools, I decided to go home and look it up on the internet. Hit or miss reviews, comparing this to many other brands, dewalt, bosch, makita, etc. A link came up to Frys for 198.99 I printed ad and got Lowes to PM it. Anyways I do not want to drag this review out but dang these are nice, I completed my shelving in my garage and put together a very expensive bbq smoker. The trigger on the drill is so similar to my hilti I was so surprised, the li-ion DeWalt driver jumped off the pull of the trigger similar to cheaper brands. On top of all the great things about these tools performance this kit comes with 10yr warranty! Nothing comes close! It feels nice to know that if these break 9yrs from now I can get it repaired for free under warranty.

You will not be disappointed with this combo Jan 18, 2010
I'm kicking myself for not getting an impact driver sooner. I install cabinets and the driver sinks 3" screws with ease. I did a lot of research on different brands. Then when Lowe's put this combo on sale for $199.00, it was a no brainer. Both the driver and drill have the LED light which is nice. They are lightweight and have a comfortable fit in your hand. The belt clips are handy as well. The batteries hold a charge longer than I expected. The only downside is the carrying case is rather large (approx. 19"x18").

Great kit, lots of power, little weight Jan 04, 2010
My favorite battery set. Was worried about the smaller batteries, but they provide plently of power. Amazingly light weight. LED light on the tools is surprisingly helpful. Liked it so much I ended up getting a second set as a gift for a contractor friend. Highly recommended.
