This tool arrived very dirty and dusty.... like it just came in from a hard day's work. Also, it didn't work at all... it wouldn't even spin. The motor would run, but I think the gears were internally stripped. The housing had the little "R" stamped on it, but I think this one came in the back door and went out the front without any work. Back to Bosch for me.

This review is from: Factory-Reconditioned Hitachi FDV16VB2 5/8-Inch VSR Hammer Drill (Tools & Home Improvement)

I normaly don't write a review, especialy on somethings that i almost got for free ( had a $25.00 coupon, for a $49.00 purchased) But i just hated how this unit performed that i had to say something, first one I received I had to send it back, it was dirty the chuck was worn out and it smelled like it was salvage from a burned down store. the replacement was not any better either, it just do not hold down the drill bits it keeps on coming off, this was not a good first experiance with hitachi tools and certainly the very last. I read some of the positive reviews about how you should get a heavy duty hammer drill for some specific jobs, I agree with them, but for what the unit claims and the work i was doing it should had handle it with no problems. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GET A DEWALT INSTEAD.

Absolutely love this drill. Arrived in perfect condition and looks brand new. If I didn't already know that this was a REFURB I would have thought that this drill was brand new. Bought this to replace a 10 year old Hitachi (the original FDV16). Can't beat the price for a very good Hammer Drill.
