Great small corded drill:
Here's a great corded drill for the workshop or around the home. I use primarily for pocket hole drilling in my workshop and it has plenty of power for this task. It is relatively light but strong and sturdy and comes with a 5 year warranty.
corded handy drill:
It feels more than 3.1 pounds to me. I think because of the weight distribution of the drill. The tip of the drill is a lot heavier than the handle part. It would have been a lot better if the other way around were true. Craftsman has a 3.1 pound drill also, but much shorter; I like this one a lot better, but Sears sells it for $135.00, so I ended up buying this one. I am happy with it so far. Lots of power, 5 years warranty. Vu
Excellent drill at a reasonable price:
I've owned my drill for a little over a year. I bought it to use with my Kreg jig, which recommends the use of a high-speed drill for making pocket screw holes. I am very pleased with the drill. It is powerful, well made, well balanced, and has an excellent gripping surface. The keyless chuck is also handy and grips bits extremely well. I never realized how much better a high-speed drill (2500 rpm) works than a typical drill-driver for simply drilling holes. When compared to my DeWalt 14.4 volt cordless... more info
UPGRADE THIS TO 4 STARS * * * * (Formerly named "Mystery Triggers"):
SEE UPDATE BELOW Returned 2 of these for the identical issue. Speed adjusts from either barely turning to full speed with nothing in between. Locking the trigger back gets you full speed ONLY. Try it on yours. The trigger is strange. A neat trick for any drill is to buy a 3/8" drill and get a 1/2" chuck made for adapting straight onto the drill. You can now run anything with it. But this Hitachi does not seem to have a replaceable chuck. UPDATE: January 2008 A few months after the last review... more info
