vibration produced when using the tool. With unmatched turning torque in
its class and weighing just 2.9lbs, the WH18DBDL2 tackles heavy
applications like tightening and loosening carriage bolts, driving lags
and sinking deck screws with minimal effort. Additionally, it can drill

settings, a professional can conveniently tackle a wide variety of
applications with just one tool in hand. The WH18DBDL2 delivers a
no-load speed from 0 to 2,900RPM and an impact rate of anywhere from
0-4,000 BPM for ultimate jobsite flexibility.

Hitachi’s attention to detailed engineering can’t be ignored with the
tools ergonomic grip, light weight and center balance design that is
especially evident during continuous use operation. The WH18DBDL2 also
features a Brushless motor, which plays a large part in decreasing the
weight, while increasing runtime per charge as well as improving the
overall life of the tool. To add on to this feature rich tool, Hitachi
has acquired IP56 certification, to add a degree of protection against
dust and water exposure.

light, a low battery indicator, metal belt hook, ¼” hex chuck for easy
bit replacements and a responsive variable speed trigger to ensure the

batteries, a rapid charger and new, redesigned stylish carrying case.

batteries have the same capacity as a conventional 18V 3.0Ah Lithium Ion
battery, while the new footprint is ¾” shorter in height and 0.6 lbs
lighter in weight (compared to Hitachi battery model BSL1830) making the
work experience lighter, more comfortable and more convenient. The
batteries are also equipped with Hitachi’s Multiplex Protection Circuit
to prevent over-load, over-charge and over-discharge that further
extends the lifetime of the battery. They are fully compatible with all
Hitachi 18V Lithium Ion slide type tools for even more flexibility
across Hitachi’s cordless line.

The new Rapid Charger (model UC18YSL3) cools the battery during the
charging cycle to prevent overheating and comes with a color light
indicator to clearly indicate the stage of charging the battery has
achieved. Additionally, the charger is produced with a USB port that can
charge smartphones and other mobile devices for added jobsite
convenience.

compartments; one designed to store the tool, batteries and charger, and
the other to conveniently organize and safely hold a lot of accessories.
