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.

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.

I was really worried about buying one of these due to some of the other review, but my experience was completely different. My drill was refurbished, but they came clean and in perfect working order. For $59, you can't beat it! Would recommend to friends and would buy another...almost clean enough to gift...hmmm...

This thing is better than sliced bread, cell phones, and ATM machines put together. It really kicks (you know what).

Hitachi has surpassed all other power tools made. Durable and long lasting. Most accurate miter saw that I've ever used and most consistant. Superb.
