These are heavy duty tools that do not disappoint. The 3.0 amp-hr batteries and the 28-min charger are the icing on the cake. As with ALL Hitachi tools, these are smooth and quiet-running, with minimal vibration. The heavy-duty ratcheting steel chuck on the hammer drill, the built-in worklight on the circular saw, and the effortless blade change on the recip saw are all added bonuses as well.
The kit is pricey but all in all a lot of quality for the money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, July 7, 2009

These cordless products worked well at first, but they are not built well and they did not last. The drill especially is of poor design (and what I use the most). I am careful with my tools, but this one has a user flaw that too easily causes damage to the tool. If you "change" the speed button while drilling you will trash the gear set. And when you are drilling it is way to easy to have a slip of the hand and push the hi/lo switch while in use. And of course that happened to me.

Next time I will go with my gut (which is to buy Milwaukee).

I won't be buying any Hitachi tools again.
