I'm sure I've made the right choice. This is the first Hitachi tool I've ever bought. It's a very good drill, but, let's face it, a drill is a drill. I debated buying a cordless drill with Li-Ion batteries, but bought this one instead. Every time. I'm most impressed with the Ni-Cad battery.
I recently hung some sheetrock. It certainly won't be my last. I don't use a drill enough to warrant the price of the Li-Ion batteries, and I don't see how they could be much better than this one anyway. It lasts much longer than the other drill batteries I've used--and I've used a few. It also charges much faster than the others. By the time my battery needed changing, the other one was completely recharged.
This is a good product and a very good deal.
This cordless is light and compact, but after a few months of duty around the house the clutch was gone. Kind of disappointing given how reliable my other Hitachi tools are (12" Miter Saw, 12" Planer). I'd recommend this drill for very light duty, but would avoid it if you're going to be doing much more than that. Also doesn't seem to have quite as much power as my 14.4v DeWalt, which has given me several years of reliable service.
Bought these last Christmas. Used the drill to install our kitchen cabinets and also during our bathroom remodel. With two batteries, its always available to use. Definitely 10 times better than the old B&D drill it replaced.I love that it comes in a black storage case, so it's easy to keep it all organized and in one place.
I love the fast charge time for the batteries and the light is very useful as well. I have only had my Hitachi Drill for a few weeks and it has performed great. I mainly use it around the house for odd home maintenance jobs. Overall I am very pleased with this product. Hitachi DS14DVF3 14.4-Volt Ni-Cad 3/8-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit
A cordless drill that has the torque to get the job done, no matter what the job, is a tool with many talents. The flashlight is very bright and has come in handy on many occasions. The charger is fast and compact. I love the set.
