I chose this drill from the consumer reports review and I am not disappointed. A very good drill for the value. This is a very powerful drill w/ plenty of battery life. It's almost as powerful as my corded hammer drill.
Purchased this drill as a Xmas present, my husband was extremely happy with it, has used it many times since then. Hitachi is the best. I saw it advertised on HGTV and now am so glad that I saw it.
It comes with a super quick tightening chuck that ratchets for superior grip. This is the 1st lithium battery tool I have purchased and only time will tell on the battery life. I have previously owned Sears Craftsman and Makita drill/drivers and this is superior to both. It has plenty of torque for any job. This is a contracter grade tool.
This tool was also more expensive and the latest technology. The driver is solid, high quality, but a little on the heavy side. The chuck only takes one hand to tighten or loosen. The battery charger is fan cooled. I have had this tool for 1-1/2 months and love it so far.
If you are in the market for an 18V 1/2 Drill I can tell you I looked at them all. That is when my search for a 18V replacement began.There are a lot of options from Milwaukee to Dewalt, etc but as for quality, weight, build and price this is the best drill by far.Highly recommended. I had a Bosch 14.4 for a long time and it was a great drill until I dropped it.
Usually, green means "go," and blinking red indicates a problem. I've used it to hang curtains, install a fan, install hooks in the laundry room, and other odds and ends around the house--all on one battery charge.A bit of a warning on the battery charger. So far this drill has done the trick for everything I need. The light blinks red for 0.5 seconds as the battery charges. Other than that, I'm very pleased with this product. The manual indicates that a solid green light indicates a problem with the battery or the charger.
