I bought this impact over a month ago but I waited untill now to write the reveiw because I wanted to give it a REAL long term test. I almost didn't buy it because of the other guys reveiw, but am VERY happy now that I did.. Having already owned an 18v Dewalt drill and an 18v hitachi drill, an 18 volt Dewalt Sawsall and an 18v Hitachi Sawsall, I expected great things from this little impact and I wasn't diapointed,, I own 3 other impacts, a 9.6 makita, a 14.4 Dewalt and a 18v dewalt, none of these even come close to the HITACHIs power, I have used it at least 1 hour every day for the last month, the 3.0 NI-hM batteries are Super. We added a room to the Garage and used nothing but 4" long deck screws, this thing had so much POWER it hardly had to impact to sink them out of sight.
I have owned my dewalt impacts for years and always LOVED them but they seem a little outdated when compared to the HITACHI. it has lots more power and a smaller size, and a more comfortable handle, The lugs on my Skid Steer torque on 100ft lbs and it doest even strain this thing to take them off and torque them right back to specs. i would have gave it 4 1/2 stars if possible because of 1 thing, the socket holder wouldn't hold on large sockets like a Deepwell 1" or so, but it was an easy fix, I just took the little rubber plug out that holds the ball out against the sockets and put a peice of 10 guage wire insulation over it. now you have to want a socket off to get it off,,

On my 4th year of owning this Impact and love it. The NiMH batteries are starting to die on me. Downside is the replacement batteries cost 40-120 dollars for these, but it will use the Li-on batery as well.

Tool is compact, has a lot of torque and works great. Battery life is excellent, charger and extra battery make life easy. Bought one for myself, liked it so well I bought another for the farm.
