Customer Rating:      Summary: Hitachi DS14DVF3 Comment: I just purchased a new battery for my ryobi and it cost around $50, so it was not too hard to purchase new drill two batteries charger and flashlight for around $60. Great deal.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Decent for $$ Comment: The flashlight isn't very solid but it gets the job done and makes a great addition. Overall the battery life isn't Lithium Ion but the Ni-Cad lasts long enough for a small/medium job and comes with 2 batteries to make up for the lack of battery life.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Ralphs Review Comment: Everything works as adverised, but, there are some inconviences. The hand grap is short causing one to inadvertently hit the fwd./reverse switches, usually at the most inconvient time.
Having to remove the bit before placing in container is an aggravation.
The chuck is very touchy. If it hits or rests against something it unwinds causing the bit or drill to drop.
Batteries hold charge well and recharge in the 30 minute timespand.
Customer Rating:      Summary: hand tools that works Comment: The Hitachi 14.4 V drill works very well. Two batteries help the continued use. Charging is fast. The drill has a lot of torque. It lies good in the hand, but is a little bit heavy.
Customer Rating:      Summary: ok for homeowner, but not professional Comment: I bought this tool to supplement my Dewalt. It is a good tool, for a homeowner to buzz around the house and make minor repairs with etc., but don't expect it to say, build a deck or something like that, that requires heavy steady usage. I too, (like everyone else) am suffering the recession fallout, so when my 18V Dewalt cordless hammer drill pooped out, I could not afford to replace it and bought this. I paid 69.99 on Amazon and later found it on e-bay for 49.99 and was upset at that point. But, I do trust Amazon anyday, before I would trust e-bay, who knows where your items came from on ebay, (returns, etc). Atleast you know it is brand new on Amazon. It still is a descent little drill though and for homeowner use only on small projects only, I would then give it 5 stars. Flashlight is handy also, bits it comes with are cheaper quality, batteries are pretty good though and will hold a good charge for you. I would say buy it if your intentions are light to medium usage.
