Comment:
This is my favorite drill for everything except heavy duty drilling. I have about 4 drills, this one is the smallest, but I use it about 80% of the time. It is small enough to fit in my bag and the battery lasts a good long time. The small size is a real benefit when drilling in tight spaces. I recommend it!

Comment:
As a professional I have many drills/drivers , but you would be surprised that this can handle most of you drilling needs. No need to lugg around an 18 volt , this thing weights 2 pounds! Plus I got it at [...] marked down to [$]. Great little tool.

Comment:
I bought this unit because it was on sale but the features made it a real joy to use. I was afraid when I read CR's indication of a short battery life but one battery lasted through a complete install of a 10X12 sheet metal sheed with a couple hundred screws. My first impression was positive with no complaints. It's light, easy to use with a lighted tip for working in dark areas.

Great feel / balanceSmall sizeLithium-ion technologyBuilt in LED
Weakness
A little less torque than Bosch similar toolNo other 10.8 volt Hitachi tools yet
Very impressed with this product. Nice that Hitachi includes all the various bits that come with the product. Charges very quickly. My wife was surprised with the size of the unit given the size of the case. Her comment was the size was perfect -- she would even use it. If you can catch it on sale at Amazon its even a greater value.

Strength
Powerful with variable speed control and torque adjustment
Weakness
Poor construction, did not live up to the hitachi standard
The main problem was the drive, it was not straight with a noticeable offcenter rotation. It was horrible, you could not drive the drill perfectly centered. Hitachi's construction has really gone down the tubes.

I bought this on sale and have been pleasantly surprised with the form and function. It may not replace your heavy duty drill but is perfect for smaller jobs.Good product
