The Hikoki DS18DE is a cordless driver drill designed for demanding tasks, powered by an 18V brushless motor that provides efficient performance without the need for carbon brush maintenance. It delivers a maximum hard torque of 70Nm and a soft torque of 40Nm, allowing you to handle a variety of fastening and drilling jobs with 22 different torque settings to ensure precise control over every screw. This tool features two speed ranges, with a high setting reaching 2,000 rpm for faster drilling and a low setting of 550 rpm for high-torque applications. The 1.5 to 13mm keyless chuck makes swapping bits quick and easy, supporting drilling capacities of up to 13mm in mild steel and 52mm in soft wood. For those working with fasteners, it can drive wood screws up to 10 x 100mm and machine screws up to 6mm. Safety and usability are integrated into the design through the Reactive Force Control (RFC), which protects you from sudden tool kickback, and a built-in LED light that illuminates dark workspaces. With a compact head length of 155mm, it fits into tighter spots, while the weight varies between 1.7kg and 2.2kg depending on the battery used. This model is supplied as a tool body only, making it a practical choice for users who already own compatible batteries and chargers.
