I purchased this drill for 67 dollars. I have pretty short fingers so holding this drill was much easier for me than Dewalt. Rubberized grip compared to just plastic one (Dewalt) provides more friction between your palm & fingers and drill. This drill just "sticks" to your hand.

Gotta love power of 9 AMP motor. It is still quiet. Cord is pretty long (8 feet?). Additional grip would be recommended because this drill is pretty powerfull and a bit heavy. Extra grip handle can be screwed into aluminum part of body (grip handle from my cheap angle grinder happens to perfectly fit this drill). Keyed chuck holds bits very well and it is made in Japan.

I use this drill to drive 4 inch screws easily in wood (I drilled pilot holes to prevent wood spliting). RPM is pretty high so when I press trigger harder screw can go through the 1 inch board pretty easily. Case provides enough storage for extras (although I have not used it to store additional stuff). I used to have Hitachi 6 AMP drill (keyless chuck) but I returned it to Lowe's because chuck did not hold bits well and I still needed more power.

Too bad that Hitachi had to remind me that I purchased Refurbished drill by putting R mark on upper part of body (looks kinda cheesy). This R mark will probably decrease resell value of this drill. However, I don't plan to sell it. It is just too good to be sold.

Warranty is one year, in case if anybody wanted to know.

Overall, I am very pleased with this drill and can whole heartly recommend it.
