OOooooh Pretty!
So I already have Ryobi NiCad and I also have Dewalt LiIon, but yes, I want this too! I want them all!!!
I can’t look at a cordless drill and not think of “Pi”.
Nice price, but I will stick with the cheaper refurbished Rigid 18v LiIon I got for less than this.
Hitachi karate chop you! Very POWERFUL kung-fu with this tool!
Can’t seem to find this model # in searches??
Is the Ni-Cad a deal killer? I’ve been using an NiMH for years now.

the batteries look similar to my Ryobi batteries, are these compatible? (drill died, looking for new one)
I had a 12v Hitachi drill a few years ago and It was as strong as some 18v. If this drill is as quality as they made previously it is great.
I bought this exact set at CostCo about a year ago for the same price. Good drill, not the best, but better than most.
I’ve been very happy with it.
Oh geez, it has a Nickel-Cadmium battery. The memory effect of the battery has a way of killing the fun when you’re screwing things. I’d much prefer a drill with some other form of rechargeable battery.
Everyone should take heed of the warning on the drill bet set:
“Tip penetrates on contact”
I have a similar model, same brand. It works and it works well. The battery charge last a while and charges in a decent amount of time.
Feels good in your hands too.
These are great. Best drill ever made. I think I’ll max out for three to give as gifts…
Wait. These are lame.
Actually I think I just prefer lithium for my cordless tools.
Wow, impressive 5-year Hitachi warranty.

I have had one of these for over a year. By far the best cordless driver I have owned.
Ni-Cd batteries! Stay away! Save yourself some trouble down the line and get a drill with a Li-ion battery.
Ni-Cad is the dear killer!
