Great tool with a lot of torque. Make sure you hold on tight when using this drill for serious applications. I used this drill with a big bit to grind down some oak tree stumps.
Looking for something to replace my 25 year old Makita. This Hitachi has great control and all the torque you need.
The drill arrived within one week and came with a case and seems to have all the power that I need. I also like the brake system when you stop. It looks brand new. I an very happy with the tool.
It also a relatively compact size for the power output. A few minor scratches on it, but it performs just like new. I bought this drill refurbished to mix thin set and grout for the ceramic tile floor I installed in my kitchen. I have a 12" Hitachi cut off miter saw (13 years old) and it has been great. This drill exceeded my expectations. This a heavy duty unit with tons of torque to mix thin set and grout with ease. Best of all, you cannot beat the price for this drill. I highly recommend it.
I don't just like it. To my suprise, after using that thing like I stole it, it doesn't even seem close to dying.
Now that I have used it for stirring 10 5 gallon buckets of stucco, I'd pay $130 for it. This thing got so hot mixing such thick cement the first time or two that white hot smoke rolled out of it and the smell of burning wiring made my wallet start to ache.
I bought this recently from Lowes for $89. By the end of my tenth bucket it only smoked a little if I kept mixing past 6 minutes or so.
I didn't care I had to get that stucco up. I thought for sure I was killing it with such a hard job.
One tough drill. I admire it.
