A Very Powerful Drill [Posted on 2005-08-28]
I've had this drill for about a month, and used it to drill 3/8" cast iron plate. This drill has plenty of power and torque, it will not bog down. It has a very comfortable fit in your hand, and has a two finger trigger which is very nice. If you need a strong hand drill, you won't disappointed.
One thing to watch out for is the trigger lock, if you don't pay attention you can set it without knowing it, and if the drill bit binds. You can not hold this DRILL, other than that, for the money a excellent drill

This drill has lots of power. I use it to mix my thin set and grout for tile setting. Also to bore dozens of holes in studs for running romax though. But you can still overload it if you abuse it's power trying to mix to thick of a batch of thinset, as it's not really designed for real heavy work like that but if you pay attention to the sounds of an overworking drill or if it gets hot back off. I mixed over a half dozen bags of dry thinset with water without a problem. Just mix a third or more of a five gallon bucket at a time. That's about all I could put down before it's workable time was up anyway.

Great drill. Lot's of power. Nice brake. Two finger trigger..... BUT. This drill is a nightmare for left handed folks. The forward/reverse switch is in the way of my left hand grip, so I am always slamming the thing into reverse when I don't want to.
D13VF for $89 at Lowes as of 9/7/07 [Posted on 2007-09-08]
I came upon this drill at Lowe's last evening and bought it to replace my Ingersoll-Rand that I finally burned out after 27 years. The price was unbelievable considering the quality and power of this drill. I have always been impressed by Hitachi tools and highly recommend them.
tougher than ***l [Posted on 2007-11-05]
I bought this recently from Lowes for $89. Now that I have used it for stirring 10 5 gallon buckets of stucco, I'd pay $130 for it. This thing got so hot mixing such thick cement the first time or two that white hot smoke rolled out of it and the smell of burning wiring made my wallet start to ache. I didn't care I had to get that stucco up. I thought for sure I was killing it with such a hard job. By the end of my tenth bucket it only smoked a little if I kept mixing past 6 minutes or so. To my suprise, after using that thing like I stole it, it doesn't even seem close to dying. One tough drill. I don't just like it. I admire it.
