I use it in tandem with my Panasonic 12V, probably the best rechargeable drill I've ever purchased. The latter was old, awkward and had a broken chuck collar so I was happy to see it go. I purchased the Hitachi 12Volt drill after my Dewalt 9.6V bit the dust. The Hitachi is light and has reasonable toque. The Hitachi gets the basics done and I have no complaints after 1 month of use. It is well balanced and stable standing on its battery pack.
maybe it was because it was still really new, and others on here have said theirs had plenty of torque, but this guy didn't do it for me (especially on the high speed/low torque position) and the high speed could be higher as well.so again, around the house is probably fine. Very honest gentleman at the store recommended this drill and i got it thinking i'd use it around the house. drilled a couple holes here and there but when i took it to a job site it couldn't stand up to the ryobi or the dewalt out there. very light weight, quick charge. after only about 20 deck screws it started smoking a little from the vents near the back.
Very satisfied so far with this light weight drill. Easy to handle and good power.
Very impressed with the quality of this drill. Probably would not be the primary drill I would own if I were still in the contrcting business but definately one that I would have on hand. Plenty strong for homeowner use. Great drill for smaller finish projects.
I've always owned Dewalt cordless drills, and planned to buy another. I've only owned the drill for about a month, so I haven't put it to the test, but so far, so good. The price on this unit led me to purchase it. It's lighter than the 12v Dewalt I've become accustomed to, but this unit has all the torque of a Dewalt.
