March 18, 2012 – Hitachi Power Tools has launched its line of 18V Brushless motor Lithium Ion cordless products, with the 18V driver drill (3.0Ah) – the DS18DBL – available now. The DS18DBL delivers 593 in-lbs of turning torque, and features an electronic speed control switch which allows the user to select from four different speeds. 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, it claims.
