Could be store to store promotion like the other ones recently (managers special)
It is a DS18DJL-SP (Note the SP - not on website) the DS18DJL (without SP) shows up as 193.50 on the Masters website
I'm guessing SP means it's a special kit (2 x 1.5 battery, 102 drill pieces, tape measure, safety glasses etc included)
Was on specials table, 2 left at Keysborough VIC
Item # 101798074
or barcode 932624025084 for when you call up and ask if it's in stock :)
Non-impact!
can you please explain me usage wise. sorry I am very confused with these different DIY power tools (impact driver drill, hammer drill, dril driver and impact hammer drill driver etc…)
Drill driver is just a 'drill' or a tool that drives drill bits.
Normal drill driver is good for wood, steel, plaster or just to drive screws in.
Hammer drill is used to drill masonry - bricks, limestone blocks, etc. It delivers a hammering effect as you push the drill bit and you can feel the recoil as it is happening.
Impact drill can be used to replaced air powered drill. Normally used in automotive industry to drive wheel nuts and bolts. It has high torque and less slip.
Thanks for reply
DV18DBEL – impact (hammer) driver drill can be used/treated as normal drill driver as well?
Sorry, just updated my post to clarify the difference between impact and hammer.
Impact normally comes in one speed. It can be used as normal drill, but it can deliver more (or too much) drilling power than you need.
Hammer drill normally comes with adjustable speed 1-20 (as a normal drill driver) and then "hammer" (as hammer drill). It means you can adjust the torque depending on the job or what you are drilling against.
DV18DBEL - This one, yes, it can be used as normal drill as well as hammer drill.
IMO, impact drill helps you push less to keep the screw bit sit-in a screw, as it detects resistance and gives higher torque plus adding a push forward force automatically. That's in general language. Mister Engineer/ Tool Expert can explain better than I do.
There are multiple advantage on impact drill, mainly higher efficiency, you can drill more holes or screws in single charge (equal power, equal battery capacity). It reduce change screw bit from damaging screw head. But if you do it recklessly, you will still damage a screw head.
Hammer drill, er… from my memory, I was told it add "hammering" more heavily than a impact drill. There are many "Dr. google" articles say "Hammer drill and Impact drill are the same thing", but I am skeptical to agree with it.
Hammer drill typically use to drill harder material, hard wood, bricks, concrete. Mind the drill bit you are using though.
They are both great drills.
@icecream:
Hammer drill applies impact behind screw. Impact applies the impact with the rotation, think rattle gun
An Impact driver is mainly used for driving in screws. It's much quicker and easier than using a drill
But I'd only recommend getting one if your going to be driving in bucket loads of them. For example, building a deck..
It can also be somewhat used as a regular drill but you will need hex drill bits. You will not have the accuracy or control compared to a regular drill.
Thanks, you explained better than I did.
Someone opened an impact driver with slow motion video, it somewhat explains how impact driver works. From youtube
Must resist….just bought 2 of the 10.8v drill + driver combos…..already have a $300 Metabo 14.4v….this is such a great price for an awesome drill…….must resist…..drills are becoming my own private Eneloops…
I wish I could get one of the 10.8v combos. Fingers crossed some other deal comes up in 10.8v.
But if you buy it you are saving $100 ;)
ROFL, yeah Eneloop Syndrome is interesting on this site.
I guess these people won't buy drills like eneloop.
Triton combo is only $79.
The drill is hammer drill and very solid… 18V.

From a bit of research yesterday on Hitachi's website it seems that this one is not a brushless drill (unlike DV18DEBEL), but I could be wrong.
I agree with you. DBL and DB(something)L are Hitachi brushless models naming convention.
I wonder if anyone can take a photo of the accessories in this kit, please. (it's for my friend)
I googled a bit, but couldn't exact kit model. The tool case looks very fancy.

So many drills.. I nearly bought the Hitachi twin pack 10.8 today. It's dumb I already have a 10.8v skil driver, a makita 18v hammer drill driver, a 18v Stanley fatmax impact driver. There only so many drill one needs. But I still can't resist these deals.
Pity so many batteries are needed for so many drills.
Cant swap and change.
Imagine how awesome it would be if all the batteries fitted
As I wrote the earlier comment, I was actually thinking about AA,AAA etc batteries. They fit all (AA\AAA size) different types of batteries, to the standardised size the battery.
The Duracell lithiums I have in my trimmer, perform better than the standard AA batteries it came with.
They are also $20 for 4, compared to the bulk pack of DSE battieries at $6 for a huge pack.
I have the option to use either….
(I don't take my trimmer back because it's not cutting as strong or lasting as long when using the DSE ones, which is what the article is referring to)
About 10 on display at Robina next to the specials table. Got one to compliment the 10.8v Combo kit I picked up earlier this week.
This new power tool fetish is going to be expensive.They also have Dremel 200 kits for 24.95, seems cheap for a Dremel. Got one just in case…
Just picked one up. Tremendous value thanks
Picked one up today - I'd bought a slightly discounted Hitachi hammer drill, $204 after 10% off plus 5% ABN discount, and was on my out of the store when I saw a stack of these (I hadn't seen this page before I went in there).
So I promptly did a swap - got this for $94 after ABN discount. Excellent value, as I don't really need a cordless hammer drill (I have a Bosch Blue corded hammer drill for all the heavy work).
The drill appears to be made in Japan, and it comes with 2x1.5ah batteries (also made in Japan). It also has some useful extras - a box of 102 drill bits (don't know about the quality, but it sells for around $25-30 in overseas shops), tape measure (very solid), safety glasses (made in Germany) and some gloves (again good quality).
So overall - a great buy! I spent the money I saved on the drill on buying a Hitachi C7MFA circular saw for $104, however I've decided to return this tomorrow and buy a Bosch Blue 1400w circular saw for $153 instead.
Now I just need a great deal on a high quality corded router to make me really happy!
BTW - still around 15 of these drill kits left at Everton Park.
what's the usage wise difference between this and previous deal's DV18DBEL – impact (hammer) driver drill
