I love this drill (a females perspective) July 26, 2010
Kiwi Liv (Bay Area, CA)
I bought this drill for all the little round the house repairs, and if I could find a way to use it on a daily basis, I would. I just love it. It's small, comfortable, light weight, and does everything you need it to. My contractor even comes looking for it on a regular basis, so it can't be too shabby :) br / br /The torch was a real bonus - I originally figured it would be handy to have a spare torch, but I never expected the adjustable head to come in so handy! Set it on the floor (or wherever), adjust the head so its pointing where you need it, and presto - you have light AND both of your hands free! br / br /Its a great combo, and I certainly cannot say enough good things about them. br /

Well Worth The Money April 11, 2010
Terry A. Strother (Baltimore, MD)
I am a custom builder, I have been using this drill/driver for 7 years now. I own 6 of them including the original in the 3 different configurations over the years. As stated I do custom work to last a life time, I use little nails, mainly screws. I have driven thousands of screws (including 4") with this drill.....NOT ONE PROBLEM. Yes, I had one problem when the original got caught on a ladder and damaged the trigger switch, $12.64 later it was as good as new. br / br /Lots of torque and light weight the perfect package......GET THIS ONE!!!

Great small drill March 18, 2010
Richard Glaze (Doniphan, Mo USA)
I needed a battery for my Makita but the price was as much as this drill. So, I retired my 25 year old Makita and bought this one. Turned out to be a good match. Plenty of power and lightweight.

Perfect Drill and combo March 17, 2010
A. Gift For You (Huntsville, AL)
I purchased this Hitachi drill combo because I already had one just like it. It performs perfectly and is the right size and has the power for the projects I do. The batteries have a long life, I'vs had the first one for about five years and it is still as strong as the day I bought it. The price was right on this combo as a special value from Amazon and it was too good to pass up. You won't be disappointed.

Hitachi DS12DVF3 12-Volt February 25, 2010
Gary D. Conner (Richmond, Va.)

Ok drill for puttering around the house and that's about it. I purchased it because my 12-volt Pany's batteries were dying. I love Amazon and have purchased many hand and power tools over the years from them but this purchase was from Lowe's. They had it on sale for $59. I check the power tool prices on Amazon, nightly, but it appears there are no deals to be had anymore there! In my opinion, if their price is not at least 60% off, it is not a good deal and you can find it cheaper somewhere else. This is more of a review for Amazon than the Hitachi drill as you can tell! I love shopping there, but for some reason, the prices aren't competitive anymore. Yeah! You might be able to grab something, on occasion, but that's about it. Check your local prices before you buy! Hello Amazon! Home Depot and Lowe's are now matching or selling many of your items cheaper! Comments are welcome!
