Not bad for a homeowner [Posted on 2007-10-25] I owned this piece for about 4 months. I tend to do heavyer work then the average home owner, but needed a cordless drill with a 1/2" chuck for my 3/4" wood augger bit to drill through studwork on an addition I was building. It works fine when drilling through 1 2X4, and even 2. I was a bit supprised that when I was drilling through 3 boards that the drill didn't stop, but catch fire. Most every other tool that has an electric motor has a thermal override that would cut off if the motor got hot, but this didnt. I only paid $70 for it, and feel that is all it is worth. If you want power that is not comprimised by un-intelegence in manufacturing then go with a Dewalt.
Great Drill [Posted on 2008-02-28] Got a great price on a Goldbox Deal. I have used this many times and it
has taken care of each task performed. Some one came to install a storm door at my house and his Dewalt drill had no power. He used mine and stated it was a great drill and finished the job easily
its a piece [Posted on 2008-04-04] Like the other guy said, dont drop it. I dropped mine from about 12ft. and it in pieces. This drill is made for homeowners. It doesnt stand a chance in the real world.
Hitachi is the brand name (suppose Japan made) but total made in China [Posted on 2008-06-17] I have used Makita (12.2 v) for years. I dropped on floor from above 4 ft. and I have never have any problem. Now my batteries dead, so I got Hitachi(14.4v) by yesterday (Father's day) at Lowe's. I paid for $99 with bonus card' lowe's $25 = I paid total $74 +tax. good price I have seen before ($149).
But it was made by China. I had DVD, camcorder, TV, lap with batteries bad very soon (all China made). So I returned this drill and get Dewalt (14.4 V) $99 + tax (was $149). A man works for Lowe's he referred me to get Dewalt. See how much value Dewalt can give you. I trust men gave review about Dewalt 14.4v.
Think twive before get any power tool which use cordless( batt) which was made China.
Good drill [Posted on 2008-07-11] I like this drill because it feels great in my hand and is very comfortable to use. The grip is great. I hate the keyless chuck. On certain bits, I just can't seem to get the chuck tight and it will come loose during the job. I have dewalt drills that don't have this problem. The batteries with this drill are horrible. They don't last long at all. Hitachi makes a another battery that fits this drill that last a lot longer. Overall a decent drill.
