Customer Reviews:

Get what you pay for? [Posted on 2004-04-15]
This drill gets 5 stars for its value. How can people complain when it costs $89? Go buy a Craftsman or B&D for the same price or even more, I know this is much better. You get what you pay for. I bet these complainers also expect their Ford or Chevy to be just like a Mercedes for half the cost??? If you are a contractor like myself don't buy a $89 drill and then complain about it. This is excellent for my retired father and more than he will ever need.

"HARD CORE DRILLING" [Posted on 2004-09-06]
As a plumbing contractor, we put these cordless drill`s to the test. Because i had heard good thing`s about hitachi i purchased 3 of their cordless 14.4 drill`s(1 hammerdrill, 2 regular drill`s w/ flashlights). I received 2 good months usage on the flashlight`s before wireing problem`s came up. The hammerdrill lasted almost a year and we got 6 months out of the regular drill`s. The connectors that touch the battery leads failed on them all. They became quickly weaker as they were charged. We have found that other brand name drill`s are definitly more reliable.

Hello!! Its a consumer drill! [Posted on 2005-03-21]
People are amazing.This drill is not made for hard core pro use!Its a good home and small shop drill.What do you expect for 90 bucks.Go spend pro money for a pro drill,and thats what you'll get.This drill will do anything a home owner needs or a weekend wood worker.I've never driven a #12 3 inch deck screw into a bookcase and don't know why I would. Its a good tool for the money.

Ergonomic design but needs more power [Posted on 2005-04-05]
It's a well-designed drill that fits well in your hand and feels very balanced. It's weight is just right, and the quality is very high. However, it needs more power when drilling into stud. I'd recommend that you go for the 18v instead. As for the flashlight, it's a piece of junk and the lightbulb burnt out after two months. Instead of buying the exorbitant replacement bulbs, ditch the flashlight and buy a 4-LED model that needs no replacement of bulbs.

Excellent consumer drill. [Posted on 2005-06-27]
Folks, this is not a professional user drill it is a high end consumer drill. As such, it is top notch. For my professional work I use Dewalt, Milwaukee or Bosch.

I've used the Hitachi to drive #12 three inch woodscrews with no problem. I also drilled pilot holes which takes a lot of the workload off the drill.

Last week, I used this drill to drive over 300 woodscrews and drill 200+ pilot holes with no problems. The run time on the battery is mid-range, but again, it's not designed to be run all day.

For home and shop use, it's great.
