| Hitachi Power Tools introduces a new line of cordless drills  Hitachi Power Tools announced a new series of cordless drills that use 1.5Ah lithium ion batteries which allows the user to charge and recharge the same battery 1500 times before it needs to be replaced, makes the overall weight of the drill significantly lighter and can also power Hitachi's other cordless drill series for even more flexibility and value across the Hitachi cordless line. The DFL series includes an 18-Volt drill and a 14.4-Volt drill that are uniquely gold in color to draw attention to a unique opportunity for users to acquire the benefits of Lithium Ion battery technology at a very competitive price.Hitachi's 1.5Ah Lithium Ion drills feature two-piece magnet motors and deliver 374in/lbs and 274in/lbs of torque to power through the toughest jobs with ease. Both come with two 1.5Ah batteries that have a life of approximately1500 cycles as opposed to about 500 times for recharging NiMH or NiCd batteries. Lasting 3x longer, they do not have to be replaced as often saving the user money. And they maintain a steady charge from the moment the trigger is pulled until they need to be recharged- ensuring the user will tap the full power during use. Both offer 2-speed transmissions controlled by a one-touch speed shift knob that allows the user to select between 0-400 or 0-1, 200 RPMs. They are also some of the most compact and lightweight cordless drills in their class, measuring just over 8.5 inches and weighing just 3.7lbs (18V) and 3.5 lbs (14.4V). The battery technology reduces the weight by approximately a pound per tool which lessens fatigue and improves ease of use in tight or overhead applications. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
