Customer Reviews:

Great value/condition, missing bit set [Posted on 2006-11-07]
Kit arrived in great shape; I was expecting worse from a refurb. Great balance, good power, awesome value. Only gripe was it was missing the advertised/photographed bit set.

This portable drill perform very good drilling into concrete walls and tiled walls, I just have to installs a lot of differents thins on a new project, like towel hangers, door stops, lights fitures, etc and the drill has good power and torque to drill holes into solid concrete, of course with a very good concrete bit too. I am very satisfy with this drill.

Drill was is fine shape, only the screw-driver bits were missing

Not Hitachi's best effort [Posted on 2007-01-12]
I've used and admired Hitachi tools for many years, from their 3 hp routers (great, cheap) to nail guns and others, but this one is just OK. The chuck is the worst design flaw as it is keyless, but also very smooth so it is nearly impossible to hold bits tightly by hand tightening the chuck. It has good power, although not exceptional. The batteries seem to last about an average amount of time as well. The belt clip is better than the one on my Makita impact driver (great tool!) and is big enough to actually work with a set of tool bags. However the tool is so bulky and heavy that you don't want to use it hanging from the belt much, although it's nice when you're up on the ladder with nowhere to set the tool down. The reverse switch can be switched accidentally by just gripping the tool, but it's not terrible. The work light hasn't seen any use, but appears to be a good design. I'd go back to Panasonic if I had the chance.
