This 1/2-inch chuck hammer drill is designed for drilling holes in brick, cement block, concrete, wood, metal, and resin plate. With additional accessories it can also be used to grind, sand, and polish wood and metal, or to tighten or remove screws. It's powered by a 5 amp motor and has trigger-controlled variable speed from 0 to 2,900 rpm, as well as a variable speed dial to set a speed range. The trigger can be locked on to reduce finger fatigue, and the tool can be operated in hammer drill or drill only modes depending on your application. This hammer drill can drill up to 5/8-inch holes in masonry, 1/2-inch holes in steel, or up to 1-inch holes in wood. The FDV16VB2 is constructed with ball and needle bearings for durability, has a keyed chuck for easy bit changes, and comes with a carrying case.

Good light duty drill for the jobs around the house,
By Nereus Drego (Mumbai, Maharastra India) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hitachi FDV16VB2 5 Amp 5/8-Inch Hammer Drill (Tools & Home Improvement)
Since I have a lot of little jobs around the house this easy to handle light and durable piece of machinery is just the thing I need. The first instinct is to buy a powerful tool but this being a second drill I decided some thing light and easy to use is just what I really need. The drill is quite powerful for its size/weight and its variable speed can be used for driving. The drill would warrant a 5 star rating if it wasn't for the variable speed trigger, which is not as smooth when trying to variate the speed, but with regular use I've learned to feather the trigger for driving screws.

Use it correctly and it works fine,
This review is from: Hitachi FDV16VB2 5 Amp 5/8-Inch Hammer Drill (Tools & Home Improvement)
If you read the other reviews about this drill you'll see complaints about burning out, etc. This is not a heavy duty contractor type tool. It is great for heavy duty homeowner use where the duty cycle is fairly short. It is specifically NOT for mixing drywall mud or thinset. This is hard on any drill not designed for this task. It is NOT for drilling holes in concrete where you have to do this continually over a sustained period of time for over a half hour. One guy said he burned out a 5/16" drill using this in concrete. Well, this has a variable speed to drill at an appropriate speed in concrete and if you use a good quality bit it works just fine. And be aware that the "5/8" inch means the drilling capacity in concrete NOT the chuck size which is 1/2". Treat this tool well and use it for it's intended use and it will perform well.

Excellent for around the house,
By Mr. Zoo "zooeytug" (Louisville, KY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hitachi FDV16VB2 5 Amp 5/8-Inch Hammer Drill (Tools & Home Improvement)
I've had this drill for two weeks and it does the job fine for me (around the house). It drills through wood and plastic with no problem what-so-ever (maybe the guy who had the drill die while drilling through a 2x4 had a defective product). It eats concrete block with no problem (A friend and I have drilled maybe 20 holes in block) and I even used it on poured concrete. It took maybe 10-15 seconds to drill an 1 1/2 inch deep hole, but I wasn't expecting anything better.
One of the best tips I've heard re: power tools is to let the tool work for you. I didn't "get into it" and apply all 210 lbs of me into the drill. ON the concrete, relax, put it on a low setting, and apply modest pressure. The tool, the bit and you will benefit. Overall, for around the house and for the money, this drill is perfect.
