The truth is, this drill/driver is a kick to use. When we wrapped our hands around it, it just felt goooood. Hitachi's hot new tool design makes this drill look like something out of a sci-fi flick, but it's got down-to-earth power and torque that, quite frankly, surprised us. Pop a bit into the 1/2-inch keyless chuck and admire the two speed ranges of 0-400 in low and 0-1,200 in high, and even tough jobs are no match for its whopping 400 inch-pounds of torque and 22-position clutch. For all that power, it's pleasantly light, and if we had a couple hours of overhead work to do, we'd be happy to be using this. We're even impressed with the flashlight - it's plenty bright and stands solidly on its own. Batteries (not one, but two) charge up quick in the charger, and everything fits neatly into the carrying case. This is a nice combination set for the homeowner, do-it-yourselfer and the construction professional. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste What's in the Box

 Handy Little Drill September 1, 2008
I've owned one of these sets for roughly 5 months and am absolutley pleased with its performance. I'm the Maintenance Supervisor of the multi-use building where I work so I have used this drill on dozens of occasions for a variety of purposes.
This drill is very comfortable to use and is relable in its' performance. The battery life is usually sufficient to get the job completed, but on a more lengthy task which may require changing batteries they charge quickly enough that I always have a fully charged battery ready for use.
When I first got the drill I did have a slight problem with the bits coming loose but that was mostly caused by my not adequately tightening the chuck. That's not an uncommon problem with keyless chucks, I've experienced that with other drills.
The only negative comment I might have would be more of a personal feeling than a comment about this tools performance. I just don't feel this drill has the power to tackle a real tough job, such as drilling through metal or sheet steel more than about 1/16"; I use my heavier duty drill for those real tough projects. That one is also a Hitachi product and I believe their top of the line drill powered with Lithium Ion batteries, however it is a rather expensive tool.
Overall, this a great little drill. I have no qualms in giving it a 5 Star recommendtaion for anyone looking for a dependable drill at a reasonable price for use around the home, in the home workshop or even on the job site.

nice drill August 17, 2008
this was an upgrade to my old 13.2 volt firestorm which died recently. Definatly can tell the extra torque, and the speed of recharge is great too. The included light really comes in handy too, and it's BRIGHT! I named mine Drillzilla because the colors remind me of Godzilla
 Good drill July 11, 2008
I like this drill because it feels great in my hand and is very comfortable to use. The grip is great. I hate the keyless chuck. On certain bits, I just can't seem to get the chuck tight and it will come loose during the job. I have dewalt drills that don't have this problem. The batteries with this drill are horrible. They don't last long at all. Hitachi makes a another battery that fits this drill that last a lot longer. Overall a decent drill.
 Hitachi is the brand name (suppose Japan made) but total made in China June 17, 2008

I have used Makita (12.2 v) for years. I dropped on floor from above 4 ft. and I have never have any problem. Now my batteries dead, so I got Hitachi(14.4v) by yesterday (Father's day) at Lowe's. I paid for $99 with bonus card' lowe's $25 = I paid total $74 +tax. good price I have seen before ($149).
But it was made by China. I had DVD, camcorder, TV, lap with batteries bad very soon (all China made). So I returned this drill and get Dewalt (14.4 V) $99 + tax (was $149). A man works for Lowe's he referred me to get Dewalt. See how much value Dewalt can give you. I trust men gave review about Dewalt 14.4v.
Think twive before get any power tool which use cordless( batt) which was made China.

Like the other guy said, dont drop it. I dropped mine from about 12ft. and it in pieces. This drill is made for homeowners. It doesnt stand a chance in the real world.
