Customer Reviews:

This is really an awesome tool [Posted on 2002-08-07]
I work as an assembler for Wal-Mart. Having personally used the Milwalkee, Makita as well as the Hitachi (an earlier model), I can tell you that nothing works as well as this tool.

It outpowers the milwaukee by a lot. It is smaller and stronger than the Makita.

It is lightweight, heavy duty, and I love the belt clip. The only fault I have with this tool is that the batteries are not Ni-Mh. However, in my previous 12 volt Hitachi(uses the same batteries), I had no problem with memory and they would last about 2 years in heavy heavy everyday use. When I say heavy use I mean between 8-16 hours a day 6-7 days a week. We put a lot of bikes together.

Hitachi has made a lot of improvements to this model over the previous model. I still have the previous model by the way (5 years and still going strong!) The biggest improvent is the weight. They have also added an electric brake which is great. They have also changed the design of the battery it will stand up on the battery. The handle also has a cushion built into it so that it is more comfortable and better balanced. The batteries last for over an hour of heavy use. The charger that comes with the new model charges the battery faster than the old one too.

I am very impressed with this tool overall.
