HIKOKI Cordless Drill Driver 18V 50Nm Brushless 1.5-13mm Keyless Chuck LED Light (Body Only)

Driving screws and drilling holes in wood or steel demands a tool that balances power, precision, and comfort. The HIKOKI HK-DS18DAW4Z cordless drill driver answers that call with a brushless motor that delivers up to 50 Nm of hard-joint torque, yet weighs just 1.0 kg for effortless one-handed operation. Its 18V slide battery platform (battery and charger sold separately) ensures compatibility with the wider HIKOKI cordless range, while the 13 mm keyless chuck and 20+1 clutch settings let you fine-tune every fastening task.

It is equally suited to cabinet makers, kitchen fitters, and maintenance crews who value precision and reduced fatigue during overhead or extended work.

Tips

For best results, pair this drill driver with HIKOKI 18V slide batteries of 2.5 Ah or higher to balance weight and runtime. Use the low-speed setting for large-diameter hole saws and high-torque screwdriving, and switch to high speed for small twist drills and fast screw insertion. The LED light automatically activates with the trigger, making it easy to work inside cabinets or under sinks. When storing, remove the battery and keep the chuck closed to prevent debris ingress.
