Its key benefit lies in the combination of a compact, high-performance combi drill and an impactful impact driver, both featuring brushless motors for efficiency and longevity. A potential caveat is the included 2.0Ah batteries, which may offer shorter runtimes for heavy, continuous use compared to larger capacity batteries. This twin pack includes the DV18DBFL2 Combi Drill and WH18DBFL2 Impact Driver, two 18V 2.0Ah Li-ion batteries, a charger, a carry case, and a comprehensive 61-piece Faithfull Security Bit Set.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the main difference between the combi drill and the impact driver?
The combi drill is designed for drilling holes and driving screws with adjustable torque settings and a hammer function for masonry. The impact driver is specialized for high-speed fastening and loosening bolts and screws, delivering rotational impacts for maximum torque.
Can I use larger capacity batteries with this kit?
Yes, the 18V 2.0Ah batteries are interchangeable with other HiKOKI 18V slide-type batteries. Larger capacity batteries (e.g., 4.0Ah, 5.0Ah) will provide longer runtimes.
How do I maintain the brushless motor?
Brushless motors are designed for longevity and require minimal maintenance. Ensure the tool's ventilation slots are kept clean and free of dust to prevent overheating.
What type of screws can the impact driver handle?
The WH18DBFL2 impact driver can handle screw sizes from 4-10mm, bolts from M5-M16, and hardened bolts from M5-M12, thanks to its high torque output.
Is the combi drill suitable for heavy-duty masonry work?
The combi drill has a hammer function and can drill into brick up to 13mm. For very extensive or heavy-duty masonry applications, a dedicated SDS rotary hammer might be more suitable.
What is included in the 61-piece bit set?
The set includes a wide variety of Chrome Vanadium steel bits, covering Phillips, Pozidriv, Slotted, Hex, Star (Torx), Tamperproof Star, Hex Security, and Spanner types, along with a magnetic bit holder.
How long does it take to charge the 2.0Ah batteries?
While specific charging times vary by charger model and battery condition, the UC18YKSL charger is generally designed for efficient charging of 18V 2.0Ah batteries, typically within 30-60 minutes.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not power on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted into the tool. Check if the battery contacts are clean.
Reduced power or slow operation
The battery may be low on charge; recharge it. For the combi drill, check if the correct mode is selected. Ensure no bits are jammed or excessively worn.
Impact driver not driving screws effectively
Verify the impact driver mode is engaged (if applicable, though the WH18DBFL2 is primarily an impact driver). Ensure the correct bit is used and fully seated in the screw head. Check for sufficient battery charge.
Overheating during use
Allow the tool to cool down. Ensure ventilation slots are not blocked. Reduce the intensity of continuous use if necessary.
Chuck is difficult to open or close
Ensure no debris is present in the chuck mechanism. Try wiggling the chuck collar while attempting to open or close it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Battery Charging: Before first use, fully charge the included 18V 2.0Ah Li-ion batteries using the provided UC18YKSL charger. The charger's indicator lights will show the charging status.
Bit Insertion: For the impact driver, pull back the collet sleeve, insert the desired bit until it clicks into place, and then release the sleeve. For the combi drill, open the chuck by twisting the front collar, insert the drill bit or screwdriver bit, and then firmly tighten the chuck by twisting the collar in the opposite direction.
Mode Selection: The combi drill features different modes (drill, hammer drill, screwdriver). Select the appropriate mode using the collar around the chuck or the mode selector switch as indicated on the tool.
Compatibility:
Batteries: The included 18V 2.0Ah Li-ion batteries are compatible with other HiKOKI 18V cordless tools.
Charger: The UC18YKSL charger is designed for HiKOKI 18V slide-type Li-ion batteries.
Bits: The 61-piece Faithfull Security Bit Set is designed for use with standard bit holders and common power tool chucks. Ensure the bit holder is securely fitted into the tool.
Care:
Cleaning: Keep the tools clean by wiping them with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Ensure ventilation slots are free from dust and debris.
Storage: Store the tools, batteries, and charger in the provided carry case in a dry, well-ventilated area away from extreme temperatures and moisture.
Battery Maintenance: Avoid fully depleting batteries regularly. Store batteries with a partial charge if not in use for extended periods. Keep battery contacts clean.
