I bought this drill kit as at the time it was a lot less money and one of the few lithium ion drills available. It performs well in general and has good power and the batteries hold up well and recharge fairly quickly. It is also lighter in weight than similar cordless drills in its power range - like the new Milwaukee M series 2611 model which I also own and use. I found though that with drill bits smaller than 1/4" that they would slip in the chuck and end up embedded in the wood I was drilling. I have two Milwaukee cordless drills and a Makita cordless and all have keyless chucks that hold even the smallest twist drills when I am boring into any material.
The other aspect of the drill I don't like is its not having a LED light. I have a Makita and a Milwaukee cordless drills and they both have LED lights. When I first bought the Makita I though of the LED light as a nice to have feature. But after it using it on a deck project that went into the early evening I found the LED to make all the difference in the world. I used the drill as my work light to illuminate the screw heads and keep right on working. I have since found the light to be very helpful when doing work in attics and crawl spaces or even inside cabinets where it is not easy to hold a light with the other hand or to even use a headlamp. The LED light is something that should be incorporated into every cordless drill and I will never again consider buying a drill without one.Get more detail about Hitachi DS18DL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion 1/2-Inch Cordless Driver Drill.
