Hitachi Rotary Hammer
By StanS on Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2005
Prior to my actual purchase of this tool I did extensive research on other brands that were in the same price range and this one seemed to have better reviews along with better performance. In actual use it performed as expected especially in the hammer/drill mode in drilling holes in concrete. Very quick, smooth and little, if any vibration through the handle. In switching to the hammer only mode with a flat spade bit it did only an adequate job of breaking up concrete thus it is by no means a substitute for a true demolition hammer.The one thing that I didn't appreciate is that Hitachi has too many models that appear to be very similar in appearance and in the same price range. It made it difficult to actually determine exactly which model I really wanted to purchase

Great drill if you can get one that works.

These drills, when they work, are some of the best you can buy. However finding one that is working when bought is hard. I bought this one as well as two others a little over three years ago. This one was a spare and never opened, which is on me because of the other two both had issues. Anyway, opened the box today and the best it could do was vibrate - certainty no hammering going on. Which is on me because that is the exact same issue I had with one of the other two (the third just smoked a bit and tripped the breaker.). Anyway, after some back and forth I finally received working replacements for two of them but, having been packed for a move, I never tested this one. With the previous two the only reason I wound up with new ones it was due to Amazon, most certainly NOT Hitachi. In closing, these drills will outperform anything else comparable if you can get past the terrible initial quality control.
