HITACHI DS12DVF3 Review

Listen to a review by By Mr. M. R. Rix  from England, Devon Ottery, St Mary on 24 Aug 2010 - Typical Hitachi quality, battery life is excellent,power is good and feels very good in the hand.

Here is another review by John Bushong - "This happens to be my second Hitachi 12v drill and my fifth cordless drill overall. Needless to say I am sold on the quality of this drill. It has just the right size and is powerful enough for most projects it is value priced and will provide several years of reliable service". 

John Bushong continues - "My batteries eventually gave out on my previous drill; otherwise it is still 100% serviceable. Which brings me to a pet peeve; Hitachi and all other cordless tool manufactures please listen up! It is more expensive to replace or rebuild the two battery packs than it is to buy the drill with it's two battery packs, charger, flashlight, bits, and the case! Why is that? Why be green and recycle when manufactures price this way? It just does not make sense if you(manufactures) are even in the least bit environmentally responsible to support this type of pricing. This is just another fine example of the throw it away and buy new, even when the old product is fully serviceable, mentality endorsed by most manufacturers".

Hear Steve Car's Review - "This is nothing but an excellent product, with fast shipping, for a good price. Though the drill is small, it remains comfortable, easy to handle and most of all it has good power. The batteries charge in less than an hour and seem to hold the charge for a long time. The light is an added bonus. A great deal for any home project even though the batteries are the old Ni-Cad type which didn't seem to be a problem for several home projects which we did".
