Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from DRILL AND BATTERIES There is a lot of information on lithium-ion batteries. Much is confusing and contradicting. I wanted a battery that I could plug into the charger and leave until I needed it. Apparently according to all the information that I researched, that weakens the battery and reduces it's life. Yet some people contend that a charger will stop charging when the battery is fully charged. You stae that we should not overchrge. What Is true? Does your charger stop when it reaches a full charge or should I watch and remove the battery when charged? When charged, how long does a battery stay fully charged?

Rated 5 out of 5 by DavidN from I would not believe if I did not see it [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought this particular drill a few years ago and had used it to mic cementitious grout for a stanchion base after eight bags of mixing one at a time in a 5 gal pail. The unit finally stopped. I thought that was the end as you could have smelled the clutch burning. I three it aside for almost a year. I decided to see if the drill was still functional and after a pull of the trigger, it growled just a usual. It lasted five years after that before falling and splitting in two. I can vouch for the quality and dependability of Hatashi tools:: now Metabo they are the best.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jakestahl from Tiny and powerful [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s amazing how far metabo HPT has gotten through the years. As you can see in the pictures we have a way older model of metabo HPT back when it was called hitachi . The size of the newer drill let alone its power, compared to the older model is tremendously noticeable!! This drill is tiny, light, and powerful. This drill will be awesome to use in overhead positions because of its light weight! And the drill nice to use to drill holes in 2x4 studs for electrical wire, it’s got that much power!! Well done metabo hpt!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by ToolGuyBob from Excellent except for trigger release brake Bought this to replace a 5 year old heavy equivalent type drill, so there would be less wear and tear on my arthritic hands. Excellent basic drill with plenty of torque. Gear selection and torque settings are fine, and LED light is better focused than most. The charger is okay and having two batteries allows me be charging one while using the other. My only beef is that you let go of the trigger the shaft brake slams in and stops so abruptly that the key-less chuck unwinds (do to its inertia), resulting in the drill or hex bit falling out. This occurs no matter how hard I try to tighten the key-less chuck. I'm not sure how the other manufacturers get around this problem, but as a design engineer, I assume the brush-less motor can be electrically driven to slow down rapidly (in say 30 milliseconds) and then engage the drive shaft lock to prevent any further rotation. Hope Metabo gets this feedback. Otherwise it's a great tool.

Rated 5 out of 5 by cliffyk from Lightweight and powerful! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this to replace a similar 2 y-o brushed motor "yellow" tool, on which the chuck and torque control had seized up (these had been "temperamental" since the tool was new). It is ear superior to that tool, so much so in fact that I bought it's "brother", the Metabo WH-18DDX to retire the 1/4" impact driver that that had come with the "yellow" kit. Both are excellent tools, affordable, and easily in the same class as its "yellow" and "red" rival--one or two steps above the "fluorescent green" stuff....

Rated 5 out of 5 by cliffyk from A GREAT very compact powerful drill I'd been looking for a compact high quality cordless drill for some time--saw an online ad for this on sale w/ 2 batteries and was hooked.. I have a fluorescent green brand 1/2 inch hammer drill that is quite nice and quite powerful (850 in-lbs), but it is quite large (9" long) and weighs in at 4.7 lb.--which is good when you are spinning a 3/4" masonry bit, but is a bit much for assembling a bookshelf or hanging a mirror. The DS 18DDX, 6" long and 2.7 lb.(w/ a 5.5 Ah battery*), is much nicer for lighter duty, close quarter jobs. Very high build quality, as good as any (even the "yellow" and "red" brands. I have had other Hitachi tools over the years, they have all been outstanding... ---------------------------------- * they make great the fact that ti's 1.9 lbs. without a battery--which is of course irrelevant, as without a battery it would be at best just an awkward hammer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BudJ from Nice Drive! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Metabo Driver is an awesome light weight driver that gives you plenty of power without making your hand and grip tired in the process. I use this when I am in tight positions and do not want to be working into a fatigue situation.. it is an excellent tool.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Noslip from Perfect I used this drill along with the impact daily. I'm a pipe fitter and the impact is perfect for hammering couplings on and the drill is outstanding when cutting a 3 1/4 inch hole into steel pipe. I can only imagine how tough they are when doing wood or sheetrock work.
