5.0 out of 5 stars Great first driver, November 6, 2007

This review is from: Hitachi WH14DAF2 14-2/5-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Impact Driver (Tools & Home Improvement)

Couldnt beleive the first time I picked it up. THought it was just a drill but then almost screwed an allen screw through a chair without realizing it. Backed it out and sat it back in with little pressure on the trigger. Today I used it to disassemble furniture with locktite on the screws. Not one stripped screw. Where I live it is very humid and the drill will rust by the next time I need it. If you usually use your drill as a high power screw driver - this is so much better, you are at a real disadvantage without this tool. I am in the furniture business, I build nothing, but I put together everything. If you dont have one of these, you are not in furniture busines, you are not a duct worker and you definitly have a screw lose!

The nicad has been flawless, although I wish I bought the lithium ion, if you are not sure about this tool, you can get the nicad and save cash, I bet the screw gun is the same as the one with the better battery. The power is insane compared to a 40 volt drill.. I got the power!

Good luck,

J

This review is from: Hitachi WH14DAF2 14-2/5-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Impact Driver (Tools & Home Improvement)

We had purchased three reach-in closets and one huge walk-in closet worth of ELFA shelving material from the Container Store. On the first reach-in shelf, I messed up my shoulder trying to muscle 1 1/4" screws into the studs using a torque driver and worn out 10 others using a regular drill. Research on impact drivers led me to this professional tool for home use, it is pricey for what it does but a life time investment that might have just converted this reluctant DIYer into a believer. The first 10 screws had taken me 2 hours over four days with the limited space available inside the reach-in closet. The remaining 50 took 20 minutes with this thing, zero learning curve, very light for the power it puts out, charges quickly, fits into small places, not a single additional screw head worn out, it does rat-a-tat-a-tat but folks sleeping down the hallway did not even notice. It comes in a sturdy box and in my opinion the 14.4V model is more than plenty for putting together most if not all DIY projects. For that price, one would expect Hitachi to include the set of screw heads that retails seperately for $19. But it works with standard screw heads from other toolsets. Container Store would have charged me $900 for installing all those shelves, I did it for $150 and in the bargain ended up with a super little toy not to mention the added confidence to do more DIY projects!

5.0 out of 5 stars Broke Mine, November 15, 2010

This review is from: Hitachi WH14DAF2 14-2/5-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Impact Driver (Tools & Home Improvement)

Bought at A box store in late 07 ,used daily in harsh conditions seasonally . Broke the direction selector today while backing a zip screw in a very tight spot with no viz. This is a very agile low profile tool and the way i broke it would not be possible with too many other impacts it deserves a 5 star even if i am only on this page to look for a bare drive .just a good tool.
