5.0 out of 5 stars Screw Snapper, July 12, 2006

Let me start off by saying you do not need this much power to drive screws. The 12volt wh12dmr has ample power to do any screwing or most lag bolting you will ever want to do. And the 12volt is lighter and smaller with the battery pack. The bodies of the 12v 14v and 18v are all exactly the same as far as I can tell. BUT if you already own a Hitachi ds18dmr 18 volt then this will be the drill for you. You can use the extra batteries between them and in the future when they start dying off like dinosaurs, you have extra time before you are "screwed" or actually not screwing as it may be. So if you don't mind packing a extra pound or two this will be the drill for you; if you own a Hitachi 18V. Now if the weight is something you are worried about then buy Hitachi's lithium ion that is out now.

An impact driver is the most important tool to have in your contracting bag of tricks. As for which driver, you can't beat the Hitachi brand. Check all the specs; Hitachi cannot be beaten.
