Wish they would make it in a lithiumion battery model. one. I liked it so much I got another. This drill is easy to use and powerful. This is my second drill. The first one came up missing. I don't seem to pickup the 18V drill anymore.
Extremely powerful for its size. A very good lightweight driver for lighweight jobs. Good battery.
I've bought 3 of the Hitachi 12 volt Impact drivers and they are great.
The carrying case is a great no-frustration rigid plastic case in which all items are easily retrieved and stored. You will really like it. It will easily break driver tips and screw heads. Hitachi cordless tools use rare-earth magnets in their motors giving them a performance advantage over the competition, more lightweight, quieter, and more powerful. The variable speed is perfect, as it always is on Hitachi tools. One of my all-time favorite tools. At slower speeds the unit will tighten precisely one click at a time, giving you perfect control over setting screw depth/torque. Plenty of power but if you want to drive 3"+ deck screws without drilling pilot holes (I ALWAYS drill pilot holes) then I would suggest the 18 volt model, it will really slam them in fast.The convenient belt hook/light and the minimal weight of just over 3 pounds make this tool extremely portable and handy at your side.The 2.0ah batteries, quick charger, exclusive belt hook/light, compact carrying case and overall quality product make this a steal at under $200.
I have had people come up to me to see what the noise is that they are hearing, ussually they want to try it out and are immediatly sold on it, which brings me to the only drawback that I have found with this tool, everybody is always borrowing it. I just can't say enough about this tool. That was kind of unexpected because the other ones I have used went through their charges a little quicker than this one, cool. It is light to work with so it doesn't wear out your arm, the hook is very handy especially when on a ladder, and the built in light is just as handy. I have used several of these impacts on job sites and have been wanting one for some time. I have had it for about a month I guess and although I don't use it every day I am still useing the first battery I put in when it got here. Its the only thing I have found that does a nice job on tapcons into concrete, and does it without twisting your wrist off, try that with your 18 volt dewalt.
