4-1-6. Comfortably shaped handle
The handle grip is soft and slip-resistant thanks to the elastomer (soft resin). In addition, the handle shape is
improved so that it comfortably fits in a hand.
4-1-7. One-touch hook
The hook can be quickly slid out whenever necessary and slid in when not necessary.
The hook is mountable on either side using a flat-blade screwdriver or a coin.
The angle of the hook is adjustable in five steps.
The hook can hold a 65-mm double-ended bit. It is very convenient for holding a spare bit.
4-1-8. Externally replaceable carbon brushes and separate-type motor
The carbon brushes are replaceable from the outside. In addition, the armature is singly replaceable thanks to
the adoption of the separate-type motor that is the same as a driver drill with a power cord. Thus the Model
DS 12DM is easier to maintain.
4-1-9. Flat battery
The battery is flat enough to stand the Model DS 12DM upright stably. The conventional Hitachi 12-V batteries
are also usable.
