5.0 out of 5 stars This may be the best trim screw driver ever made., August 12, 2005

By	Building in PA - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hitachi WH12DMR 12-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Impact Driver (Tools & Hardware)

I have a 14.4V DeWalt impact driver and the Hitachi WH12DMR 12-volt impact driver. I use them for trim work in the house we are building.

The Hitachi goes into impact mode at lower torque than the DeWalt which makes less likely to strip screw heads. It easily drives the 3-1/2" #9 trim head jamb extension screws that are needed for Anderson 400 series windows in 2x6 walls. The trim head screws don't have a very deep socket - but this driver drives them with ease.

It is very easy to use in closet shelving where sometimes the position is difficult and its hard to put much presure on the tool when driving screws.

Its smooth, the low speed control is much better than any other I've used. You can position a screw "exactly" where you want it with almost no practice at all.

The batteries recharge relatively quickly, I've had no battery problems with either this unit or the DeWalt.

Finally, it is light and has a built in hook that hangs it on your pocket or belt. It is hard to overstate how handy that hook is. Combined with the light weight you can forget the tool is hanging on your belt or pocket. Standing on a ladder, holding the jamb extension with one hand, its easy to pick a screw out of the tool pouch, set it in the hole, then grab the driver off your front pocket and zzzzziiiiippppppppp its in. Hang it on your pocket again, check the other end, use both hands if you need to, then grab it to drive the second screw.

Highly recommended for trim work and general purpose screw driving.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hitachci Impact Driver, July 12, 2005

By	Merle E. Wood "Woody" (Greeley, CO, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Hitachi WH12DMR 12-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Impact Driver (Tools & Hardware)

I did research concerning inpact driver and decided on the Hitachi. Amazon had the best price so I ordered it there. I was a little unhapyy with the delivery time and the fact that I was unable to confirm anything acurate about the delivery. It took over three weeks to get the tool. After I fianally received and have used it a few days, I am completely satisfied with this tool. I have let other guys on the job use it and ahve gotten nothing but praise. It has plenty of torque and is light weight and easy to use. The batteries may not last as long as I would like them to and when they are hot they won't charge until they have cooled off and that sometimes causes a dely in being able to use the driver. All in all a very good tool.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little driver, July 20, 2005

By	Billy Chinook "Alan" (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hitachi WH12DMR 12-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Impact Driver (Tools & Hardware)

I've owned this little driver for a few months now and I reach for it every time i need to drive drywall screws to quarter inch lag bolts. I am a fenceing contractor, so I use it pretty much everyday! The batteries last as well as my Panasonic Drill batteries. Excellent value.
