5.0 out of 5 stars Hitachi with a Hit !!, October 14, 2000

I have had this tool for several years now, and what a job it can do! It can drive small holes in concrete with ease while in the hammer mode, which is easily engaged with a push of a button on the side and disengaged just as easily with a push from the other side. The fwd/rev control is next to the trigger so you can just flick your finger to change directions, not requiring assistance from your other hand at all. The variable speed control is fantastic in either high or low settings. Due to the electronic feedback system, you can feel the high torque being applied to the work throughout the speed range. Thank goodness Hitachi did not put a keyless chuck on this tool which can loosen easily in the hammer mode. The keyed chuck keeps the bit tight, and the key stores conveniently and snugly in the drill body. Another asset is the pistol grip which allows you to get your hand directly behind the tool and apply pressure in line with the rotation axis while at the same time pulling the trigger. This lets you do all the work with one hand so you can hold onto the workpiece with the other. This is hard to do with T-handled drills since you almost always have to use your other hand to apply pressure behind the drill. This Hitachi is surprisingly light weight feeling also. It makes you wonder how they got this much power in there and not feel so heavy. I have DeWalt and Makita cordless drills too, but the Hitachi is special.

I ordered it from Samsbzness one month ago and not received it yet... So the rating is for the service, not for the product, as I had no opportunity to try it yet.
