I am in the HVAC trade and do installs as well as service. I own several hitachi cordless tools as well as some with cords. I work with guys everyday wishing they had bought a hitachi instead of their brand for whatever reason. I can tell you they are durable, well made, and dependable. They dont get hot , their batteries last and recharge fine even in cold weather, and their power is better than most. I have just purchased a new cordless hammer drill and have to tell you it does a better job than the corded other brand I had that died on me. You can pay more for another brand, but you will not get a better product. I will never buy another brand of tool from here on. I am a Hitachi fan for life.

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.

wellllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
