Awesome Value
I recently found this combo kit on the "bargain rack" at the contractor's favorite mega-store. Out of curiosity I picked it up thinking that it would be a fine stand by set if needed. Amazingly these tools can dish it out with the best that I have seen/used. They are well built and powerful. As already noted, if you follow the simple instructions for ensuring battery life via cycling to start out then I think you will find plenty of power to spare.

For the price paid, and even for more, I think you will find the Hitachi 18V set very satisfactory.

Hitachi Tools Deserve A Closer Look
After twenty years of marine construction as a heavy timber dock and pier carpenter and commercial diver I have been pleasantly surprised by Hitachi. I have been a card carrying member of a professional line of tools known by their red boxes and stellar reputation as hard hitting durable tools.I had a kit like this one built by the red box company but was really unhappy with the power and I had to send in two out of four tools due to breaking on the job. I replaced that kit with this hitachi kit and have come to appreciate Hitachi. The previous reviewer apparently failed to read the part in the instructions where it talked about cycling the batteries a couple of times before they will hold a full charge(!) Well I have been using this kit hard and it is one hell of an arsonal. Good battery life and strong enough to feel like a corded tool. The circular saw has a light for the blade that helps and the motor doesn't bog down like most battery powered tools, the recip. also dishes out the power. All-in-all a great kit when you need the power but don't have enough of a job to justify humping the cords to the jobsite!

Thanks to Hitachi!

Don't bother
I purchased the Hatachi kit just for pick up work, instead of hauling out extension cords, and running my generator. I ended up doing both as the batteries and lack of power on the circuler saw left me with no other options. I made six cuts on treated 2x6 on a freshly charged battery. The drill using a new 11/8" flat bit drilled maybe 10 holes before dying on a freshly charged battery. I tried re-charging the batteries to see if they would come to life, but they haven't. This set is on it's way back. I don't have time to mess around with something that doesn't work. ... Read more

Very happy with this purchase!
My wife bought me this drill for my birthday and I've been very impressed with it. I've used it to drill large diameter holes and have also used it as a screw gun, it works extremely well in both areas. Everything on the drill seems well made, no small parts to break off. I especially like the 2 fingered trigger and egronomic grip for applying pressure to the bit.

I don't see how anyone could be disppointed with this tool.

Well Built & Great Price
I use Forstner bits for wood boring and this is the best hand drill I have ever used. The high torque and low RPM's are a great combination. If you plan to use wood boring bits with this drill, I recommend using the side grip to avoid injury if there is a kick-back, this drill has that much torque. If I lean on this drill with the full force of my 275 pounds it barely slows. It has handled everything I have thrown at it with no problems. The handle is very comfortable and uses a two finger trigger. The weight is well balanced for a heavy drill.

Excellent Drill
To date this is probably the best drill I have ever owned.
what I was looking for in a drill is Torque, this one has it.
I highly recomend it.

Optimist in Waiting
I am continually impressed with Hitachi tool performance, from the durable NR83a framing hammer to the variety of their smaller power tools like belt sanders and drills. The new recip-saw looks a bit like a fish, we fondly refer to it as "the big bass" when we're faced with a tough cutting job. We are waiting to see if this green machine can outdo anyother red or yellow rival.

I ordered this in August.....! Where the heck is it. In the past Hitachi has not let us down and the same is true for Amazon... so what's up...I've been patient, please find out what the hold up is. ... Read more

Poor quality
I bought this as I was very impressed with their jig saw, which I have had for 3 years. This drill is a very weak product and I would not recommmend it for anything other then extremely light use. I am contractor and this tool was getting lots of use for fast, light drilling jobs. For the heavy jobs we use our 1/2" milwaukee. After three months the internal reduction gear stripped while drilling a 3/4" hole (this drill is specified to handle up to a 1" wood hole). I considered it bad luck and replaced the gear for $... 3 months later the cord shorted out where it enters the drill. Again changed same and then 2 months later the chuck broke. I was very disappointed with this drill.

Not up to Bosch standards.
I recently purchased the Bosch 1005VSRK drill. I have a Bosch jig saw and am very happy with it. I figured the drill would be the same quality as the jig saw. Wrong! When I tested my new drill I found that about 50% of the time it would start smoothly and slowly as a variable speed drill should. I found that the other 50% of the time the drill would hesitate then suddenly start up with quite a bit of torque and the speed would be fast. There seemed to be no way of knowing which way the drill would start which is a pain if you're trying to start a hole in a very precise place. I was very unhappy with it, and returned it right away. I then did what I should have done in the first place. I bought a Milwaukee 3/8" Magnum variable speed drill. I am extremely pleased with it.

In regard to the Bosch drill I've learned that this unit is made in Malaysia, and it doesn't seem to be up to Bosch standards. When it comes to this tool you better pass this dog up.

OK for limited use
I picked up one of these drills thinking that the "Bosch" name meant that I was going to get a drill comparable to the other fine Bosch tools I have. This Malaysian tool was so disappointing that I have already returned it. I am a carpentry contractor that will use a tool like this only in a pinch, so it was never intended for heavy use. But after using it to drill a few pilot holes (20 or so) and driving in the screws, the trigger assembly was hot, and I was concerned that the drill would burn up. I now have the comparable DeWalt, and am happy.

Another Good Bosch
I have a cordless Makita which is good, too. I needed an AC drill for higher RPM and endurance, etc. I would have liked to have a Milwaukee Holeshooter, but that is more than double the price.

I am using this as a home owner/hobby/craftsman guy and it works well. It is much better designed than other 3/8 drills in this price range.

If money is no object, get the Milwaukee, but this is good value.

Get a Bosch!
I bought one of these and am totally pleased with it. It is fast, powerful, and I like the keyless chuck. The forward/reverse switch is very ergonomic and the carry/storage case, despite the flex hinges on mine, is designed to be very durable. This deserves a five star rating for usability and value. ...

One of Delta’s new ShopMaster line, this 14.4-volt drill/driver’s packing power with everyday affordability. The keyless chuck makes bit changes quick and easy, and a 20-position adjustable clutch lets you match torque with the job at hand, each specific application, and avoid screw stripping. An ergonomically designed rubber grip absorbs shock and feels great in hand, and screwdriver bit clips on each side of the tool are a nice touch, too. There’s a built-in bubble level for extra accuracy, though we found it a little hard to read. Extended run-time batteries charge up again in just an hour. The ShopMaster line is really intended for the do-it-yourselfer and hobby woodworker, and this model is perfect for both. Those with smaller hands will like this drill because the grip isn’t too big and, most of all, the batteries are easy-on, easy-off.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

Great for the price
I have two good quality corded drills but I really had a need for a cordless, but no interest in spending the $$ for a really good one. I needed something that would do the job for not a lot of money, and this Delta fit the bill.

I compared this against a 18v Chinese generic "MIT" for half the price, and this Delta is better in every way, from the quality of the motor to the power to the battery. You can pay 3x more for Delta's non-entry level model, or 4x+ for DeWalt, but this is perfect for my needs, and can't be beat for the price.

Drill Driver
I'm glad I got this drill as a promotional item when I bought my unisaw. This is a horrible drill, it doesn't hold a charge very long, it is practically a useless tool. I have a B&D cordless and it performs circles around this Delta drill. I'm glad I didn't spend any money on this drill. ... Read more

Will pay for itself after one wiring job.
If you are going to be doing any serious wiring around your house buy one of these drills, don't argue with me, don't cavil and whine that's it's too expensive, just buy the drill. Now Drilling between joists, or up into wall cavities, tasks which are a complete pain in the neck with a standard drill are almost effortless with the 3002. I had to run a bundle of wires through 12 floor joists, with this drill it took me about 15 minutes to drill all of the holes I needed and run the wires. Like every other Milwaukee product the drill is very well built and durable and if taken care of will last forever.

Milwaukee Builds'em Right
I use this drill at work on a daily bases and it has never let me down. The extra long handle is great when your dilling overhead. This model has a higher rpm than the standard right angle dill kit. The higher rpm's make drilling wood a lot easier. I only wish Milwaukee would have put the Quik-Lok cord on this model. No tool is perfect but this one comes close. ... Read more
