Cheapest Hitachi DV14DL 14.4-Volt Lithium Ion Cordless Hammer Drill


Read the reviews and the specs for this drill and , gullible as I can be somedays, purchased it. What a serious disappointment. As a semi-retired contractor I'm accustomed to owning tools that can get the job done. My drill/ driver collection has consisted of Porter-Cable 19.2 volt hammer drills for the past 10 years. I was beginning to feel the weight of the Porter Cable due to my Arthritis and believed this Hitachi would be a good replacement. NOT!!! Maximum run time on the batteries is less than 1 hour, charging time is longer than run time. The claim of torque is a fallacy. I can get more torque from a handheld screwdriver or a $29 B&D hobby drill. If you're interested in 'CUTE', this might be a good choice. However, if you're looking to make any productivity, look elsewhere (Porter Cable is a true workhorse, this doesn't even qualify as a pony).Get more detail about Hitachi DV14DL 14.4-Volt Lithium Ion Cordless Hammer Drill.
