Well, almost everyone; except my WIFE! I had purchased my first HITACHI DRILL in 2008 and the DV 20VB2 Hammer Drill had already sold me on HITACHI power tools! When I saw this DS18DVF3 Hitachi Drill/Driver Kit and all that was included for this unbelievable price, I was on this deal like "White on a Wedding Cake." The Drill/Driver Kit arrived in it's own molded carrying case and the pieces included are well-made and they have performed quite well already on home improvement projects! The drill itself has one of the most comfortable 'GRIPS' I have used on a drill and the drill's performance & features are just as powerful, sturdy & efficiently placed on the drill as I would expect. The charger is fast and quiet unlike the one that came with my older RIGID Cordless Drill that I still use. The light is very powerful and the case is well laid out and easy to store. I especially love the quick design of the chuck on this drill and the bit storage on the base of the drill. I also purchased the HITACHI Drill Bit Assortment in the zipper/folding carrying case and the bits in this assortment work extremely well with this Hitachi drill. I am very pleased with this Drill/Driver Kit and would recommend it without reservation. This drill is for standard to medium use applications so if you are needing more power for heavy applications, such as masonry/steel, you should look to the bigger Hitachi Drills. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A lot of bang for the buck *by K***S on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on December 13, 2005* Although the batteries do not seem to last very between charges, there are two of them in the kit along with a quick charger. The specified torque is impressive, but I think that it may be slightly exaggerated. The ergonomics, weight, and overall dimensions are nearly ideal. The box and Hitachi website indicate a 5-year warranty, but the warranty card itself indicates only a one-year warranty. The chuck is pretty cheap, and the trigger doesn't seem very well-made. The design of the carrying case leaves a lot to be desired. All in all, after about 6 weeks, it appears to be a good drill for light to moderate homeowner duty. The quality of the drill is probably a cut above other drills available in the $99 price range, but it is certainly not worth the $150 that Lowes now charges. If you are willing to spend $140-$150, you will probably be able to get a Makita mForce or Bosch Compact Tough 14.4V-18V model and be much happier. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth the money.Battery life isnt good. *by S***S on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on March 12, 2006* A real hit on the job site.Very light and compact.Has a lot of torque.I have used it sparingly since I got it but I can say I am happy.Doesnt have the torque of the 16 volt porter cable but it isnt like dragging a car battery around to install.I have been hanging it on my belt and it isnt uncomfortable.I carry a lot of stuff on my belt and the Hitachi fits my belt and my hand very well.Very ergonomicAfter having this item for some time I will tell you that as a professional carpenter I wish I would have purchased a tool with longer battery duration and life. Doesnt take long to run the battery dead and didnt take long before the batteries would only hold a charge for a very short time. I will do the research and find a tool with better batteries next time but still not a bad deal for the price and probably as good as any tool in this price range. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/8956847-hitachi-ds18dvf3-18-volt-ni-cad-1-2-inch-cordless](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/8956847-hitachi-ds18dvf3-18-volt-ni-cad-1-2-inch-cordless) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
