So far, so great!
By M. Davis
I'm a contractor. I use cordless screwguns every day in my work. I have used Makita, Milwaukee, DeWalt, Ryobi, and now Hitachi screwguns and drivers. I have had these Hitachi tools for just over a week, and have found that the manufacturer has incorporated the best features of all the above drivers. First of all, the battery slides into the handle horizontally as opposed to vertically. This eliminates the post on the top of the battery, which makes the grip more ergonomic. It also makes the battery connection more secure, as the plastic clips aren't holding the weight of the battery in. There's nothing more frustrating than breaking one or both of those clips and having to tape a battery in place to hold it. That's never going to happen with the new Hitachi system. And speaking of weight, these guns are much lighter than all my old cordless tools, partially due to the lithium ion battery. When carrying a tool all day, the weight becomes an issue, whether it's in your hand or on your belt. The batteries also have much more staying power, and charge faster than the old technology. I spend much less time switching out batteries than I used to. There is ample torque in both drivers, as well. I typically drive 3 inch screws all day, and so far, am changing batteries only once per day. The case is large enough (and compartmentalized) to allow me to carry drivers and drill bits inside, so they're always handy. The included flashlight is handy, and is quite bright and maneuverable with it's swivel head. The hooks on the drivers are a real plus. They're metal, not plastic, which allows me to trust them more when working in high places. They also are movable to either side, allowing convenient use for left or right handed folks. The impact driver is a real wrist saver, as torque is not an issue when driving lag bolts. Overall, I'm quite pleased with this purchase. As time goes on, if something changes with what I've written here, I'll update my review.I'm also quite pleased with my experience in dealing with Amazon. Their customer service is everything I would want, shipping is quick and comprehensive, and the prices I get from Amazon are usually the best around. I also appreciate Amazon's good communication...tracking is provided right from their website. I don't have to go to the shipper's website and enter the tracking number. I will continue to shop with Amazon whenever possible.

Even if you don't consider yourself a real DIY person, you will definitely appreciate a set like this. I was a believer in screwdrivers for years, thinking that forearm and wrist strength were to be esteemed above convenience and speed. Well, I have since been re-educated away from my (erroneous) assumption that powered drivers were for wussies. Granted you will still need a manual screwdriver for some minor things, but I have bought this set and have never looked back since, it's phenomenal!! (if you need more control, there is also the high/low setting on both machines). A cordless drill and driver is ideal, and this one has plenty of power for most, if not all of the average or even semi-pro users. A few points to note: 1. There is no battery indicator and these Li-ion batteries give you full juice until they are dry, so avoid surprises and check your voltage with a meter (and recharge if necessary) before you start a big job. The good thing with Li's is that you don't have to wait until they die before you charge them since they don't have "memory" like the old NiCad's that would shortchange you if you did that. 2. Don't even bother with an adapter chuck for the driver, it's not practical to drill with a driver, the drill is for drilling (without the clutch of course). This is one of the big advantages for me, you can drill pilots and drive screws without switching bits back and forth, can't see why I would want to install a chuck to put in a drill bit and then have to change it to drive a screw, then change it back to drill again. The driver will also go to impact if it senses more resistance (opposite to the torque clutch on the drill which slips on resistance to avoid overdriving), so if you are drilling a hard substance, the bit will slow down and impact while turning a very small angle, not exactly what you want for drilling, at that point you actually want more speed, not less, plus you can break a bit due to the impacting action. 3. Sometimes after using the slip clutch setting, the knob is difficult to set back to drill mode. If this happens try setting the clutch back to 1, holding the chuck while pressing the trigger (on forward speed) and allowing it to slip again, this usually "frees up" the mechanism. Don't know why that happens, but it should not put you off from buying such a great kit, it's a minor glitch to work around. 4. For a more serious user, this may not be the "be-all-and-end-all" kit, consider also having a high powered, high speed, corded hammer drill for certain uses, e.g. drilling concrete. You don't want to shorten the life of your cordless set by using it for more than it was designed to do. These beauties will last a lifetime if you use them properly, I hate to hear users buy a medium duty home user tool and then complain that it can't do industrial work.All things considered, for the price, if you regularly do things at home or have a small business, this set will work very nicely. With a ten year warranty, don't think twice if you can afford it.

Major battery problems
By R. McKown
I purchased one of these from my local big box store. Both batteries were dead, in that they wouldn't operate the tools. Neither battery could be charged by the charger. I returned the kit for another of the same type, and saw the exact same problem. They have only one other kit in stock, and it came from the same shipment -- odds are good it has the same problem.I doubt it's coincidence that two sets showed this same problem, and I'm not the first reviewer that this has happened to. Either Hitachi released a huge batch of defective batteries, or the system has a vampire current draw when not in use that is killing them over time. The latter might explain some other reviewers' problems. Whatever the reason, the result is a ruined battery. A 5-cell Lithium pack with a no-load voltage of less than 10V is over-discharged. The 4 packs I measured all had voltages of under 2V! There is no way to my knowledge to recover a Lithium battery that seriously discharged.I called the local Hitachi service company, which services DeWalt, Bosch, and Milwaukee as well. The guy I talked to said he could "vouch" for the new Hitachi drills, and they use them in their shop. However, they have no batteries in stock and it would be a few weeks before they'd be in. I get the impression they are seeing this problem regularly, but he danced around the question when I asked.My fear is that replacing batteries just kicks the can down the road, where the new batteries will eventually fail for the same root cause. I'm returning the second unit and for now will stick with my aging Makita. It's batteries are in bad shape, but at least it runs and it is very reliable. If in the next month or two I can see some evidence that Hitachi has actually found and fixed this problem, I might be willing to try again.
