5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Chuck, March 15, 2001

This review is from: Hitachi DV20VBKL 3/4-Inch 6.8 Amp Hammer Drill with a Keyless Chuck and Case (Tools & Home Improvement)

I recently purchased this 6.8 keyless chuck Hitachi hammer drill locally against the advice of the store owner. The item was so new that he had not had the time to field test the drill which he likes to do before selling to contractors. I had used other Hitachi drills similar to this model and found them to be very ergonomic and well balanced. I've used a Milwaukee 1/2 magnum for the last fifteen years and although it is a tough and dependable drill it has no where near the comfort and smoothness of the Hitachi. The most incredible feature to this hammer drill is the German-made keyless chuck. It is unlike any keyless chuck I have ever seen. It clamps a 1/2 drill bit with the slightest of finger-tip pressure (not hand pressure) and then has a locking ring that easily slides into the lock position. To release the drill bit, you simply slide the lock ring back to the unlock posistion ( a very slight movement) and then with the greatest of finger-tip ease, open the chuck maybe a 1/4 inch turn and the bit pops right out. This chuck works like nothing I've ever seen before. This is PRESICION! EASE! BALANCE! This tool is a winner!
