If you ever need to drill into brick or concrete, I would heartily recommend this 14 V one.
good drill, it's a good product.
The drill functions flawlessly, has four speeds...and has great battery life. This is a much nicer product than the DeWalt I'm replacing with it. Highly recommended!!
the drill is very sturdy and it comes at a great price.
Over Rated, TOY, Weak, Waste of money
I own all kinds of Hitachi Cordless tools. They are the BEST FOR THE MONEY on the market today. You can't go wrong with them...They last FOREVER.
I'm an retired construction project manager(commercial/industrial)...In the month I've had the Hitachi, it's drilled 1/2 in holes through 65-70 4x fence posts, a number of concrete holes for patio and threshold repairs, a bunch of small starter holes for cabinet and shelf installs, not mention countless wood, concrete, and sheet metal screws. I love it!
I have only had this drill for a couple of weeks, but it is by far the best cordless drill I have ever had. It has a lot of torque and performed well even when I drilled into some concrete with a dull bit.
