Hitachi Power Tools (NYSE: HIT) today announced the launch of
its new line of 18V Brushless Motor Lithium Ion cordless products.
Kicking off the series is an 18V Lithium Ion Brushless Driver
Drill (3.0Ah) - the DS18DBL- available now with more tools
launching this Spring/Summer. Hitachi’s Brushless technology is
delivered via a micro-processor chip that manages the tool’s motor,
resulting in up to 50% longer run time between charges, increased
power, and extended durability with essentially no maintenance.
Hitachi’s signature ergonomic design for the DS18DBL tool body
makes it extremely well-balanced and comfortable for extended use.
Covered by Hitachi’s Lifetime Lithium Ion tool warranty and 2-year
Lithium Ion battery warranty, the DS18DBL stands alone against
other professional drills on the market today.

Hitachi’s DS18DBL 18V Lithium Ion Brushless Driver Drill
delivers professional grade power with an impressive 593 in-lbs of
turning torque. Unique to the DS18DBL is an electronic speed
control switch. With the simple push of a button, the user can
select from 4 different speeds. Coupled with the two-step gearing
feature, this allows for eight different speed / power calibrations
providing the user the ability to finely set the driver drill
depending on the application. Compact at 8.1” in length and
lightweight at just 4.4 lbs, the DS18DBL reduces fatigue in
extended or overhead use applications.
Hitachi Brushless Technology
A microprocessor controls the current flow through the motor.
There are no carbon brushes, which prevent maintenance and
unexpected downtime. Minimal heat is produced and motor wear is
decreased due to lack of mechanical contact on the motor. The
overall result with Hitachi’s Brushless technology is that the
battery can last up to 50% longer per charge meaning more work
completed and less downtime. The tool is virtually maintenance free
and is more responsive, efficient and powerful during use.
Micro-processor technology additionally allows for a “smart” tool
meaning it is capable of advanced speed digital settings for
ultimate precision and control based on the application. The
benefits of Hitachi Brushless technology can be summed up in one
statement- Intelligently Powerful.
