Powers Through the Toughest Jobs with Precision
The DS14DVF3 Driver Drill has a two-piece magnet motor that offers class-leading maximum torque of 300 in/lbs, so you can power through even the toughest jobs. And two-speed transmission is controlled by a one-touch speed knob that lets you choose the right setting for your job--either 0-400 RPM or 0-1,200 RPM.Also, a 22-stage clutch offers easy adjustments for high torque and precision driving in wood, plastic, steel, and aluminum. And with tool-less clutch adjustment, this drill handles precision fasteners, such as drywall screws, without damaging walls. Compact, Ergonomic Design for Easy Handling
The DS14DVF3 has all the power you need and is still lightweight and compact enough to provide superior handling. At just 7-3/4 inches in length and weighing just four pounds, this tool reduces user fatigue and can be used on a ladder or in tight spaces where larger cordless drills can't reach. An added bonus, a non-slip elastomer grip provides comfort and safety. Adding to this drill's easy-handling features is a 3/8-inch keyless chuck that allows for easy bit changes, as well as a belt hook--with two bit holders--that saves time and adds convenience. Everything You Need in One Package
The DS14DVF3 Kit includes more than just the cordless driver drill. It also includes a high-quality flashlight and a seven-piece bit set to get you started immediately. For further convenience, a protective carrying case stores it all for easy portability from job to job. Long-Lasting NiCD Batteries Charge in 35 Minutes
The DS14DVF3 kit's driver drill and flashlight run on 1.4-Ah nickel cadmium (NiCD) batteries (included), which offer longer runtimes and fewer charges than traditional batteries. The kit's quick charger fully charges the batteries in just 35 minutes, and you can expect about 300 charges over the life of each battery. An added bonus, the charger is compatible with other Hitachi tools that use NiCD rechargeable batteries (up to 18 volts). The Hitachi DS14DVF3 Driver Drill Kit with Flashlight is backed by a five-year warranty. What's in the Box
DS14DVF3 driver drill, driver bit, seven-piece bit set, flashlight, two 1.4-Ah batteries, quick charger, and carrying case.

 great drill! June 24, 2010
A. Fung (Honolulu, Hawaii USA)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was one of my first drills and it works great. I am a hobbyist and this works great. I bought it solely on the reviews, that this is one the best reasonable priced drills with power and so far its true.
I have been buying other Hitachi products because of this drill. Those other products didnt always rate up but this one is still going.
The light is a regular bulb and could use updating to a high power LED but otherwise this is a good buy.
 Does not replace a DeWalt June 9, 2010

Bought this unit to replace my aging 14.4V DeWalt. Unfortunately it can not replace the DeWalt in power and RPM's. Although as a power screwdriver and light drill around the house for wood only jobs it might do the trick. Would I buy it again - No
Great little set, especially as a "Deal of the Day" April 21, 2010
Chris from Chicago (Chicago)
We have a regular drill, but when I saw this on the "Deal of the Day" and knew that I was going to be installing a curtain rod, I thought the cordless drill would be a good option. It's lightweight enough that I feel comfortable using it as a woman, and heavy duty enough that my husband doesn't think it should be painted pink (though we both find the green flame look pretty cool). The flashlight included is awesome - it cranks to several positions and uses the same batters as the drill, so I don't have to worry about keeping disposable batteries around for it.
The negatives:
I wish they would charge a bit more and just include a decent set of bits
Instructions for those of us who don't normally deal with drills would have been nice
And perhaps the most embarrassing negative - it was such a pain to figure out how to put everything back in the case!! Would it be so hard to just put some stickers in there or labels that would tell me how to put the jenga puzzle back together?
Overall I am quite pleased with my purchase. Having a cordless drill around is a great thing and the flashlight is used at least a few times a week. I can't comment on how good it is for professionals, but for the weekend warrior or weekend warriorette, it's perfect.
Battery Life Questionable April 17, 2010
Robert (Delmar, NY United States)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this set about three years ago. The NICAD batteries are already unable to hold a charge for more than a few days with no use and only minutes with. The batteries were almost fully discharged before recharging all along, so memory should not be a problem. My Makita LI-ION drill , almost the same age, is much more powerful and the charges hold for weeks. From an environmental standpoint the NICAD technology should probably be retired and it's cheaper to buy a whole new drill set than try to replace the batteries.
