Great at home for an ex-pro
I’m an retired construction project manager(commercial/industrial) and I fully researched this Hitachi drill/driver before I purchased it. It’s replacing a great 13 year old Porter Cable 12V d/d (with Magna-Quench!), for which good batteries and chargers are now all but non-existent.
In the month I’ve had the Hitachi, it’s drilled 1/2 in holes through 65-70 4x fence posts, a number of concrete holes for patio and threshold repairs, a bunch of small starter holes for cabinet and shelf installs, not mention countless wood, concrete, and sheet metal screws. I love it!
It has about double the power of my old PC, has the added features of the hammer for concrete work and the opposed handle, has excellent battery lasting power (only had to change once during a big all day job) but is about the same weight as the PC. When I first got it, it looked like a Flash Gordon ray gun, but now it’s starting to burly up.
Great price and quick delivery from Amazon. Highly recommend this d/d for a pro who needs the drill power and for all-around home use. It’s a great compromise of power, weight, versatility, and price.
Update (2/9/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Very good product
I have only had this drill for a couple of weeks, but it is by far the best cordless drill I have ever had. It has a lot of torque and performed well even when I drilled into some concrete with a dull bit. I have had two other cordless drills, a Makita (a good drill, but not in this class) and a Craftman (mostly a piece of junk), and this one is great. It came with both batteries charged, so it was ready to go right out of the box. Also, the carrying case is actually large enough to hold all the parts after you use them. I do think they could have included two screwdriver bits, rather than just the one. Other than that I am very pleased with the drill, especially the hammer drill feature.

Hitachi is BEST Tools
I have all kinds of Hitachi cordless tools. They are the best for the money in the market today. You can not go wrong with them. I bought my first 7.2 Volt DTC-10 over 25 years old and I still have it, but I do not use it, as all units of the higher voltage I have now. You forever.
