the cons are that it dosent give you much of a warning when the battery needs to be switched out it just dies….. then if you thought you were ready ….. you come to find out you gotta climb down and get a fresh battery. the clips are nice that they come with but they just got in the way for me esspeacialy when i needed to use my left hand and the stup hook was in the way.

Personally I don't like Hitachi. Never had good luck with them and they seem to bog down. Not my first, second or third choice. Intersting. Personally I don’t like Hitachi.

I was looking at buying, but I know people like Hitachi, just don't know that much about Hitachi. Interested to see your reviews for this kit.
