This kit puts two of Hitachi's most versatile tools in one package, so you're ready to tackle around-the-house jobs with ease. The DS10DFL and WH10DFL provide plenty of power and control in compact, easy-to-handle models.
The DS10DFL comes with a 3/8-inch keyless chuck and a best-in-class 21+1 clutch with 21 torque settings and a drill mode for ultimate precision in both forward and reverse. The WH10DFL is perfect for heavier applications like tightening carriage bolts, driving lags, and sinking deck screws and delivers an impressive 840 in./lbs. of driving torque.
Lithium-Ion Batteries for Steady, Long-Lasting Power
Both the DS10DFL and WH10DFL come with Hitachi's 1.5Ah HXP lithium-ion batteries to deliver a steady stream of power throughout every charge, unlike traditional batteries that undergo a power fade from the moment the trigger is pulled. Additionally, Hitachi's patented battery charger features unique circuitry that prevents overheating or power loss, ultimately extending the life of the lithium-ion battery and saving you replacement costs.
Freestanding Drills Feature User-Friendly Triggers, LED Lights
Both drills feature responsive, variable-speed triggers for better control during operation, and LED lights positioned under the chucks to effectively illuminate your work surface. For added convenience and easy setup, by partially depressing the trigger you can activate the LED light before the driver is set in motion. And whereas many other models must be laid down on their sides when not in use, the DS10DFL and WH10DFL have unique handles and battery configurations that allow for free standing on their bases.
DS10DFL Tackles General Fastening Jobs, Hardware Installation, and More
Incredibly lightweight at 2.2 pounds and compact at less than eight inches in length, the DS10DFL is easy to handle and control as you work. It provides 195 in./lbs. of turning torque and features a 3/8-inch keyless chuck, making it the ideal drill for precision drilling and driving applications, including general fastening and hardware installations, HVAC and electrical operations, computer and electronic equipment repair, furniture assembly, fine finish work and odd jobs around the house.
WH10DFL for Tough, Heavy Fastening and Driving Jobs
The WH10DFL is also compact and lightweight, weighing 2.2 pounds and measuring less than six inches in length. It provides 840 in./lbs. of turning torque--more than any other cordless impact driver currently on the market--and features a quick change 1/4-inch hex chuck that allows for simple bit replacements. The ideal impact driver for tough jobs, the WH10DFL drives self-tapping masonry anchors into concrete, brick or block and also takes on heavy fastening application with lag bolts. To help ensure consistent performance, the impact action engages as the resistance of the load increases, which results in increased torque needed to power through the most challenging tasks.
Warranty Information
These lithium-ion tools are backed by Hitachi's lifetime lithium-ion tool warranty and two-year lithium ion battery warranty. For additional value and peace of mind, Hitachi's 12-volt peak batteries are 100-percent compatible with all past Hitachi Micro-series tools.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hitachi KC10DFL 12-Volt Peak 2-Tool Li-Ion Combo Kit with Carrying Bag
Customer Review: Best I have used.
Summary: 5 Stars
I used a friend's sub-compact impact driver (Bosch 12V) to finish a deck this summer, which was enough to quickly convince me that these little impact drivers were absolute wonders for driving screws (of any size or type). They have plenty of power, they don't strip out the screw heads, and they don't transfer any torque or twist to your wrist. Impact drivers are clearly superior to drills for driving fasteners of any type. They are wonderful.
So I decided to get my own little impact driver. And a little matching drill as well. Just as well be hung for a sheep as a goat.
After spending about an hour driving screws and lag bolts in the parking lot of ACME Electric (Tool Crib of the North), I decided I liked the Makita 10.8V sub-compacts better than the Bosch and the Milwaukee sub-compacts. All three were excellent products, but the Makitas were the speediest and fit my hand the best (the Makita sub-compact driver has a two speed gear box which made for speedier drilling). The Milwaukee had a tisch more power but, by comparison, was a good bit bulkier than Makita. All three brands had plenty of power for driving screws. These products are so close in performance the determining factor will likey be which one feels best in your hand (or which color you like best). The Makita is the most compact and has the trimmest handle. The Milwaukee is the largest and has the thickest handle. The Makita spins the fastest. The Bosch is a little slow for drilling. I went with comfort and compactness, (and speed) and I brought the Makita set home.
But, while wandering through Lowes a couple days later, I saw these trim Hitachi 12-volt compacts. They felt great in my hand, even trimmer and better balanced than the Makitas. As I was still in the trial period for the Makitas, I decided to get the little Hitachi set and compare the two at home.
The next day, I brought a couple 2X6 boards into the kitchen, charged up all the batteries and started comparing, drill to drill and impact driver to impact driver.
I put a quarter-inch bit in each drill and started drilling. Both the Makita and Hitachi were impressive for their size. But the Hitachi was clearly the speedier drill. And when the Makita wore down, the Hitachi was still going full speed. I did twenty more holes, and then stopped. The Hitachi was still going full speed, but I had learned enough about the drill. The Hitachi was faster and ran longer, clearly so.
I then compared the impact drivers by driving lag bolts into the holes I just drilled. Again, both drivers were impressive, but the Hitachi was speedier. Clearly so. And when the Makita wore down, the Hitachi was still going strong.
I recharged the batteries and then used the impact drivers for drilling with a 3/8" bit. The Hitachi made speedy work of it and didn't need to go into the "chatter" mode. The Makita was slower and had to go to "chatter" to finish off the hole. (chatter= impact mode).
The Makita 10.8 sub-compact drivers are a great product. (and the Bosch and Milwaukee sub-compacts are nifty as well). But these little Hitachi's have more power, longer run-time, and speedier operation than any of them. And the handle is trimmer and the balance is good (some will find the Bosch and Milwaukee to feel a little thick in the grip).
I'm keeping the Hitachi set and returning the Makita.
Whatever you decide, do get a compact impact driver of some type. They really put a drill to shame when it comes to driving screws and lag bolts. No screw head stripping, no pushing, and no torque transfer to your wrist.
