Hitachi's New 18V Cordless Brushless Oscillating Multi-Tool

Hitachi Power Tools announced the launch of its new 18V Brushless Lithium Ion Oscillating Multi-Tool, model CV18DBLP4. This tool can cut, scrape, grind or sand just about anything with the appropriate accessory. It is sold as a tool-body only, however it is compatible with any Hitachi 18V slide-type battery and charger system. This cordless tool is convenient for quick transition between jobs and has the power to accomplish most any task. The CV18DBLP4 achieves an impressive oscillation speed of up to 20,000 RPM with the use of a Hitachi Brushless motor.

Hitachi's brushless motor technology delivers more power to the motor by minimizing unnecessary energy loss through friction and heat. Managed by a micro-processor chip that efficiently delivers current flow to the motor, brushless tools experience longer run time between charges, increased power, and extended durability with essentially no maintenance.

This multi-tool is unique to Hitachi due to the two modes of speed. A user can select Standard mode and change the vibration frequency from 1-5 or (6,000-20,000 RPM) by adjusting the variable speed dial as needed or the user can select "auto-mode" and the tool will determine the appropriate level of vibration needed based on the load- essentially lowering vibration, reducing noise and increasing the battery run time.

This oscillating tool is packed with features like a soft start for user safety and constant speed control to maintain the speed under load to ensure maximum power is delivered to the application. The tool-less blade change is designed for quick and easy accessory replacements. The universal design accepts the majority of accessories that are available on the market. An LED work light illuminates the tip of the accessory- especially convenient for tight and dark work spaces where this tool might be put to work.

Hitachi's signature ergonomic design for the tool bodies makes them extremely well-balanced and comfortable for prolonged use. Hitachi has optimized the design thanks to the slide-type Lithium Ion battery pack that eliminates the vertical battery cell chamber. This results in a slim profile tool body for improved comfort and greater control. The feel of the brushless tools in hand reflects Hitachi's detailed attention to balance, soft grip handle and pressure points; making this tool extremely comfortable to use, especially in odd positions or in tight places. A low-battery indicator light activates when the battery power runs low to avoid inconvenient interruptions during a project to change out or charge the battery.

This tool is sold without batteries or charger, but is compatible with all Hitachi 18V slide-type Lithium Ion batteries. Lithium Ion slide type batteries deliver fade free power, less weight and 3x the total battery life of traditional Ni-Cd batteries. The technology in Hitachi Lithium Ion chargers provides the Lithium Ion battery with overload and over-discharge protection so it won't overheat or lose power- lending to the battery's longer overall life.

The CV18DBLP4 Brushless tool body is covered by Hitachi's Lifetime Lithium Ion Tool Warranty. Hitachi Lithium Ion batteries (sold separately) are covered by Hitachi's Two-Year Lithium Ion Battery warranty and battery chargers (sold separately) are covered by Hitachi's One-Year Charger warranty. It comes with a Bi-Metal Plunge Cut Saw Blade.
