Hitachi have introduced a new series of 12 volt Peak cordless micro-size power tools to their range. The addition of the DS10DFL, a Lithium Ion Driver Drill, an Ion Impact Driver model WH10DFL and a combination kit of the two model KC10DFL. The micro-build of this range of cordless power tools is the main advantage, as they are able to work in to locations where standard power tools will not fit. For such a small package this Hitachi 12 volt Peak range has astonishing power and performance. Hitachi's research and development people have thought of the environment by using Lithium Ion 1.5Ah HXP batteries. With standard batteries there is a constant power loss as soon as the power tool is started, however with the Lithium Ion batteries a constant and stable power delivery is available from each charge cycle. The battery charger boasts a patented electronic design that will stop overheating and loss of power, this not only lengthens the life if the Lithium Ion battery but also saves the operator from having to purchase expensive replacement batteries.The trigger on both of these power tools is both responsive and variable ensuring perfect power and speed control throughout its application. Underneath the chuck are light emitting diodes or LED's, these provide back-up illumination of the work area during use. The LED's are activated by slight pressure on the trigger before the chuck starts to rotate, this is a great feature for when aligning the power tool to the work surface. Both 12V Peak models are designed in such a way that they will stand on the battery base unlike in other designs when the tool has to be placed on its side which can be very inconvenient.Finally Hitachi's ten year warranty covers the tool and the Lithium Ion battery is covered by their two year warranty.
