very exciting. though I see it weighs 3.7 pounds..
my makita 6950 weighs less than 3, and pretty much compares with the hitachi, except for the cord..
the trigger is very smooth and holds speed easily. if you want more power there is the 6952, exactly the same looks except has a belt hook. neither has needed new brushes, yet... the cost is less than half the hitachi, and there is no vulnerability to EMP from the sun or bombs, so unless you really cant use an extension cord..and gamma rays are not a prob..

re: HITACHI DV18DBL brushless 18V drill

This drills' been solid in every use I'v put it through, runtime is terrific & the fan cooled charger is fast (3.5A)
From drilling into tile, to cutting off a metal piece on a dock, no problems to report
*The multitude of speeds & the torque from the brushless motor is key*

Build quality, runtime and overall handling are it's strongpoints.

One thing I'd like to see adjusted... clutching could go even lighter for smaller situations. That's it


_________ Save yourself time & just get brushless tools straight away :thumbsup:
