5.0 out of 5 stars Good Overall WW'ing Drill, November 4, 2002

By 

Gregory S Brown (Richardson, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hitachi D10VF 9 Amp 3/8-Inch Drill (Tools & Home Improvement)

Likes: Padded Grip, Metal Gear Box, Easy Access Trigger Lock, Easy Access Reverse, OK Balance, Keyed Chuck (which is what I wanted.), Good Ergonomics, Easy Speed Control with Trigger, Lots of Power.

Diskiles: Doesn't come with an extra hand grip. No problem though--the grip on my Bosch 4.5" grinder fit just fine (must be a stanardized thread pattern).

I was going for the Milwaukee, but I really liked the feel of Hitachi in my hand and the top of the trigger doesn't cut into your finger as it does on the Milwaukee.

I am very satisifed with this purchase.

This is a great drill, tons of power and a fast 3,000 rpm. No, this is not the same drill they sell at Lowe's. We use these in production, drilling hole after hole, never a problem or hesitation. This drill also has a great power to RPM ratio (9 amp/ 3,000 RPM) I can't find another drill,that comes close. I also needed the keyed chuck and it to be corded as these are used for extended periods. Battery units do not last long enough and keyless chucks eventually break. Very nice package.

I too picked this drill up at Lowe's for a very good price. I don't know if it was mismarked or what, but I only paid $49.99 for this Hitachi D10VF, while Amazon (and everyone else) is asking way more than that!

As for the drill, it is very powerful and has a great chuck. With this much torque, there is no way anything but a good keyed chuck would work - and this one fits the bill. The handle is plastic but the gear box is metal. Overall this tool just feels like good quality and it has performed well on every job I have used it on. Drilling concrete, wood, steel are no problem for this baby.

As for downsides, I feel that this drill is well worth the 50 bucks I paid for it, but I would be a little less enthused if I paid $100. Also, the side handle is not included and I cannot seem to find it for sale anywhere on the web. This is the third Hitachi tool I own and I think they need to work on their parts and accessories availability.

Overall, this is a very good performer and if you shop around it can be had at a very good price.
