I make no claims that this drill does anything more than satisfy my demands as a new home owner. I'm not a contractor, I'm not a hobbyist, i just need something that'll work when I need it to and have a little bit of flexibility as far as the jobs it can tackle. I finally settled on this drill after first splurging on a "serious" Milwaukee combo kit and then accidentally buying a NiCd drill (keep those receipts handy!). The ergonomics and weight distribution of this Hitachi drill are great! The batteries seem to live up to the hype. While some may complain about the clutch settings, I think that the low end is nice and gentle, but you can still flick the switch to "high" and set it to drill and it'll give you plenty of power when you need it. In short, I really like it and look forward to using it, rather than tolerating it.
The built in LED is pretty good at giving you some extra light on the subject and the belt clip is a nice feature as well. The flashlight feels like a cheap afterthought, its rigid plastic which probably won't survive too many bumps or falls.
A couple downsides: no area to clip a spare bit, its such a simple design aspect, I don't understand why companies are leaving this off their designs (the milwaukee drill I bought didn't have a slot/holder/clip either) The batteries don't have any power indicator so you won't know how much longer to go until you need a recharge. Also, the case is kind of oversized for the items included and they don't sit securely in the case, especially the batteries and charger. At some point I'll probably toss the case and just put the kit in a bag.
