- Best power tool I own
- I bought this mainly for doing the electrical work while finishing off my basement - a lot of tightening and loosening screws on switches, outlets, fixtures, etc... (lots of twisting - but not too much torque required) I looked at other cordless screwdrivers and most were too heavy and large for what I wanted. I wanted something similar in size to a screwdriver - and this is it. Don't buy this if your looking for the power of drill - that's not what it is designed for.
The screwdriver peformed flawlessly, saved me countless hours and avoided the sore wrist that comes with constantly twisting a screwdriver. The batteries lasts a long time and re-charge quickly. Aside from the electrical work I used it for - it is now the go-to tool for assembling kids toys, replacing batteries, fixing electronic devices, etc... Best money I've ever spent on a tool. - 2008-04-24, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great little driver
- I've been very impressed with this little guy. The batteries last quite a while between charges & on the low speed setting it can drive self-tapping 2.5" deck screws to the hilt without a pilot hole.
I've also used the new Makita 9.something volt stick impact driver & there's no comparison- the Hitachi is vastly superior & cheaper. I was expecting the Makita to drive almost as well as a full size drill but it just doesn't have the torque, has only one speed- REALLYFREAKINFAST & no clutch setting options. I also ran a 1989-ish Milwaukee driver & it was able to out-drive the Makita- both had new, freshly charged batteries.
I haven't found much use for the fast speed on the Hitachi as it can over drive a screw pretty quickly & doesn't have much torque. The clutch adjustments are very close to each other so you have to make a big change if you want to drive a screw deeper, but it's hard to over-drive if you take it easy on the adjustments.
The more I use this tool the more often I reach for it. I originally purchased it to use in tight spaces, but I find myself using it for heavier duty projects because it's easy to stick in a pocket & have handy.
My only complaint is that the light doesn't do much good- it's at a poor angle, is an orange color & isn't very bright. - 2008-04-23, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Perfect Size!
- The Hitachi Driver Drill is absolutely perfect for replacing light switches, outlets and ceiling fans. With the built in yellow light, it makes it a lot easier to do electrical upgrades when the power is off. The battery seems to last forever without any lag in power.

- Great for the price
- This cordless Driver Drill is great for the price and very sturdy. I use it every day and the battery holds up on this product. Only takes one hour to charge. I liked it so much I bought another for my friend. I would recommend this product to anyone.

- Best cordless I've ever owned
- This is my second purchase of this item. The first one died due to a bad fall, but that's no fault of the screwdriver. The battery life and power is amazing. I mainly use this screwdriver for working on computers and it lasts me months between charges. Under heavy load, such as using it as a drill, it will drain the battery much faster. It is very light, portable, and the built in led light is a wonderful bonus.
