Summary: Best in class
Comment: Very good kit, tool has quality feel, kind of odd styling, the carry case is solid. The batteries are easy to change. Flashlight is useful, runs 2 hours plus, very bright. Drill has plenty of power to shear a screw, 22 clutch settings to prevent doing that. Long battery life even under high use commercial type application. Drill trigger is very responsive and easy to feather. Battery charger is the UC18YG universal 7.2-18v. Battery charges in 30-45 minutes, about the time in use battery under heavy load runs out, so you can keep swapping and working. I bought the 12v version to replace an older 9.6v Hitachi drill that has been in constant use for many years, the batteries have grown tired. The 9.6v batteries can be used in the 12v, the 12v cannot be used in the 9.6v.

Summary: great product! quality,power,size and great price!
Comment: I have owned this drill combo since last december(2007) and i am very impressed with it! for the price you cant beat it! i have owned dewalt,ryobi and panisonic cordless drills in the past. all costing more except the ryobi. this drill really stands out! very easy to use,comfortable and powerful.works harder than my previous dewalt(14v),ryobi (12v) and stands up well against the panisonic (15.9v?). the panisonic had a little more power but cost almost 3 times as much! it was taken from my truck or i would still be using it! This hitachi is a great cordless drill for any homeowner,handyman, even a contractor will like this drill. contractors might not have all the power a 18-24v drill has but this hitachi is great quality and good power that cant be beat for the money. oh yeah one other thing i love about it is the size! small compact and not too heavy! great for tight spots. i would buy again!

Summary: Great 12v drill
Comment: This is my second Hitachi 12v drill and my fifth cordless drill overall. Needless to say I am sold on the quality of this drill. Right sized and powerful enough for most projects it is value priced and will provide several years of reliable service. My batteries eventually gave out on my previous drill; otherwise it is still 100% serviceable. Which brings me to a pet peeve; Hitachi and all other cordless tool manufactures please listen up! It is more expensive to replace or rebuild the two battery packs than it is to buy the drill with it's two battery packs, charger, flashlight, bits, and the case! Why is that? Why be green and recycle when manufactures price this way? It just does not make sense if you(manufactures) are even in the least bit environmentally responsible to support this type of pricing. This is just another fine example of the throw it away and buy new, even when the old product is fully serviceable, mentality endorsed by most manufacturers.

Summary: High-Quality, Low Price, Compares to Dewalt / Makita / Bosch but for clos eto 1/2 the price
Comment: This 12v Drill performs better than most 18v drills.
I have had dewalt, makita, and some other high-end brands and this one meets or surpasses all of them yet is 1/2 the price.
Hitachi in general has good products, this is definitely one of them.
I highly reccomend the hitachi brand, currently owning several different hitachi tools including 2 tablesaws, routers, miter saw, Electric Drill, Drill press, etc.... I have been replacing/growing my shop tools over the past few years with Hitachi and I have not been dissapointed.
If this is not the drill for you, maybe you were looking for Lithium-Ion or a different voltage then check this link out, it will show you a good list of high quality Cordless drills here on Amazon.com:
Sorry you will have to cut 7 paste this, I can't make this a real link since it is not to any single product:
