Sold me power drill that died after 2 light uses. BAD SUPPLIER. Stay away from Reconditioned Sales.
small compact and not too heavy. great for tight spots. all costing more except the ryobi. very easy to use,comfortable and powerful.works harder than my previous dewalt(14v),ryobi (12v) and stands up well against the panisonic (15.9v). contractors might not have all the power a 18-24v drill has but this hitachi is great quality and good power that cant be beat for the money. I have owned this drill combo since last december(2007) and i am very impressed with it.
i have owned dewalt,ryobi and panisonic cordless drills in the past. this drill really stands out. oh yeah one other thing i love about it is the size. This hitachi is a great cordless drill for any homeowner,handyman, even a contractor will like this drill. for the price you cant beat it. the panisonic had a little more power but cost almost 3 times as much.
i would buy again. it was taken from my truck or i would still be using it.
My batteries eventually gave out on my previous drill; otherwise it is still 100% serviceable. It just does not make sense if you(manufactures) are even in the least bit environmentally responsible to support this type of pricing. Why is that. Right sized and powerful enough for most projects it is value priced and will provide several years of reliable service. This is my second Hitachi 12v drill and my fifth cordless drill overall.
Why be green and recycle when manufactures price this way. Needless to say I am sold on the quality of this drill. Which brings me to a pet peeve; Hitachi and all other cordless tool manufactures please listen up. This is just another fine example of the throw it away and buy new, even when the old product is fully serviceable, mentality endorsed by most manufacturers. It is more expensive to replace or rebuild the two battery packs than it is to buy the drill with it's two battery packs, charger, flashlight, bits, and the case.
This 12v Drill performs better than most 18v drills.I have had dewalt, makita, and some other high-end brands and this one meets or surpasses all of them yet is 1/2 the price.Hitachi in general has good products, this is definitely one of them. I have been replacing/growing my shop tools over the past few years with Hitachi and I have not been dissapointed.If this is not the drill for you, maybe you were looking for Lithium-Ion or a different voltage then check this link out, it will show you a good list of high quality Cordless drills here on Amazon.com:Sorry you will have to cut 7 paste this, I can't make this a real link since it is not to any single product:http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=&%74a%67%3dcjh%2d20&url=search-alias%3Dtools&field-keywords=hitachi+cordless+drill& I highly reccomend the hitachi brand, currently owning several different hitachi tools including 2 tablesaws, routers, miter saw, Electric Drill, Drill press, etc.
this combo kit is great. just like everyone says, and the free shipping certainly doesnt hurt either.
