"I have Milwaukee's Magnum HoleShooter, HoleHawg, a Hilti light demolition hammer drill (I forget the model#). So, after a few weeks of drilling, I'm real pleased with this Hitachi. This is Hitachi's largest hammer drill that will take common shank bits. All their next larger models use splines or SDS shanks.
This a lot more drill than the Holeshooter, and I've used it in places I thought only the Hawg would work. It's no Hilti, but it comes close to that silky feel. Here's a few things I noted about this tool:
*Its got guts. A realistic 2-fold over the Holeshooter (I never bogged-down putting a 1/2" hole into railroad tie with this, while the Holeshooter moaned and slowed real bad).
*It's two speed, with a very smooth variable trigger so you can really slow to a crawl when starting off, or rip along if you want.
* The chuck-key is the best key I've ever gotten with a drill. It's about 3/16" diameter and 5 inches, with the keyway at the 1" position. Its a beefy beast you can really get a grip with. It also came with a cord strap.
* There's a built-in speed dampener in reverse that keeps the RPM at about 200, but delivers full torque. I don't recall reading about this feature in the manual, and at first I didn't want it. I'll decide if I need a slow reverse! But, I discovered its actually real handy. This puppy has enough torque to break a wrist, and going slow in reverse gives you that half-second to tighten your grip or ease-off the trigger if necessary. I actually now consider a full-speed reverse on my other drills kinda dangerous.
*Its well balanced with a smooth ride (feels like a Hilti but with a higher pitch).
Things I don't like..., well, only because I'm trying to appear objective here (otherwise, I'd shrug and say its now my favorite drill). But...
* The gear shift dial sticks. Meaning 2 times out of 3 you've got to rotate the chuck slightly to mesh into the other gear speed. That's a pain.
* The side handle is heavy. It should be a tough plastic, but it's mostly steel. After an 2 or 3 hours you notice those extra 3 ounces!
* I can't say for sure, but the cord looks expensive. I sure hope it's not like my HoleShooter's $40 cord!!! But, I haven't taken the handle apart to see if it's form-molded like the Milwaukees.
Other than that, this is a fine drill and the most powerful non-SDS/Spline type I'm aware of. Its the first drill I reach for now, and unfortunately, a favorite with everyone else in the crew!"
