- great product! quality,power,size and great price!
- I have owned this drill combo since last december(2007) and i am very impressed with it! for the price you cant beat it! i have owned dewalt,ryobi and panisonic cordless drills in the past. all costing more except the ryobi. this drill really stands out! very easy to use,comfortable and powerful.works harder than my previous dewalt(14v),ryobi (12v) and stands up well against the panisonic (15.9v?). the panisonic had a little more power but cost almost 3 times as much! it was taken from my truck or i would still be using it! This hitachi is a great cordless drill for any homeowner,handyman, even a contractor will like this drill. contractors might not have all the power a 18-24v drill has but this hitachi is great quality and good power that cant be beat for the money. oh yeah one other thing i love about it is the size! small compact and not too heavy! great for tight spots. i would buy again!

- Great 12v drill
- This is my second Hitachi 12v drill and my fifth cordless drill overall. Needless to say I am sold on the quality of this drill. Right sized and powerful enough for most projects it is value priced and will provide several years of reliable service. My batteries eventually gave out on my previous drill; otherwise it is still 100% serviceable. Which brings me to a pet peeve; Hitachi and all other cordless tool manufactures please listen up! It is more expensive to replace or rebuild the two battery packs than it is to buy the drill with it's two battery packs, charger, flashlight, bits, and the case! Why is that? Why be green and recycle when manufactures price this way? It just does not make sense if you(manufactures) are even in the least bit environmentally responsible to support this type of pricing. This is just another fine example of the throw it away and buy new, even when the old product is fully serviceable, mentality endorsed by most manufacturers.

- High-Quality, Low Price
- This 12v Drill performs better than most 18v drills.
I have had dewalt, makita, and some other high-end brands and this one meets or surpasses all of them yet is 1/2 the price.
Hitachi in general has good products, this is definitely one of them. The only drawback to this particular unit is that it has Ni-Cad batteries, but you can buy other versions with Li-Ion batteries. This is not a negative, just a fact for this unit. - 2008-07-18, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:

- Split recommendation
- This product is made by one of the finest Japanese firm. It is working very good, but as a DIY customer I use it rarely. Two months past and one battery produces 9.6 Volts instead of 12 Volts. Tried to contact with Amazone service people but the computerized answering system is very deaf to you if your purchase is older then 30 days. So I was corresponding few times with the machine and gave up. Better talk to the wall. Amazone should do something to correct their attitude to their customer.
