 A beast of a Drill with only a couple issues Sep 02, 2009
By Brian Wernimont
"Tax_Man"
I am an avid DIY'er and I now own three of these DV18DL Lithium-Ion drills. They have more than enough torque to handle most any job I throw at them. Just make sure you have a firm grip on the drill or it will torque around in a heartbeat.
The only problems I have encountered with this drill are with the chuck screw that holds the chuck in place is inadequate and I broken three of them while using a 1" Ship Auger bit to drill through a 8" log I ran into while digging post holes for a split rail fence. Fortunately I had bought the drill from L_o_w_e_s and they exchanged them without issue. The manager I talked to said that he had notified Hitachi of the problem but that they were not going to beef up the screw.
I ordered a number of chuck screws for various makes & models of 1/2" drills (including corded drills) and discovered that the Dewalt reverse thread screw #605256-01. It is just a bit longer that the Hitachi OEM screw and I haven't broken one since replacing it ^_^.
The second issue is with the tabs on the case that hold the battery in place. I accidentally dropped it 4' onto a concrete floor. It landed flat on the bottom of the battery. The battery was fine, but both of the tabs that hold the battery in place busted off. Luckily I have a Hitachi repair shop a mile from my home here in Belmont, MI and they replaced the case free of charge within a week. But as I said I now have three of these and four of the 3.0ah batteries.
The last Drill I purchased was the bare (DV18DLP4) drill from Timberline Tools in July 2009 and they timely shipped one to me ^_^.
 worked great for a while- weak frame Jan 14, 2012
By david merritt
i bought an 18 volt drill and a hammer drill several years ago. initially i was very happy with the power and light weight.
i used them primarily to drive self tapping screws to fasten the siding on some metal loafing sheds i built.
ultimately, both have broken at the top of the handle. they were never dropped. the problem started with a small crack and proceeded to totally break from there merely from the (admittedly hard) hand pressure of drilling.
also the clutch on one of them is slipping and the numbers on the clutch have worn off.
a friend has a couple of 18v dewalt drills that i used to borrow before i got these. they have seen at least 4 times the use that the hitachi drills have seen-doing the same type of work- and they are still going strong. they even survived being dropped several times.
i took them to the local hitachi repair station and just got a message saying the hitachi warranty people said to essentially get stuffed. i can get the frame fixed for a minimum of $50 each. i am now wondering what they might mean by "lifetime warranty"
considering the high price,weak product and non-warranty; i would look elsewhere.
Powerful hammer drill Dec 28, 2011
By Dgarl
I have researched many drills and for the price you cannot beat this. When you purchase this purchase it with the 3 amp lithium battery.
Great drill for most jobs Aug 15, 2011
By Paco
I've had this drill for about 3 years; its been the most valuable and reliable tool I own. I used it as the primary tool to build two sheds (screwing together all framing and the OSB on walls and roofs) and to attach all the flooring on a log cabin.
It has the power when needed but the agility to do small jobs too. The batteries last alot longer than Ni-Cads and charge faster too.
Unfortunately I burned out the clutch this summer when driving 11" hog log screws into 8" logs. I should have known better and used an impact driver but the drill worked really well until it died. I was in the process of searching for a replacement when I read some of the reviews and decided to add my opinion.
Other than the clutch burning out due to misuse, this tool has performed flawlessly. Thats why I'm buying another one.

 Not as tough as it looks May 01, 2011
By Toycrusier
I've had this tool for a couple of years. It has lots of torque but has a few other problems. The first time I dropped it from around 5' it broke in half right at the top of the handle. Not only did the case break the switch started acting up. I called Hitachi and they sent a new case. But did nothing about the switch. I had to buy another one of those with my own money.
Next time I dropped it from around 3' and the tabs that hold the battery in broke off. Guess I'll have to call them again.
Other problems are the chuck keeps loosening up as I'm drilling. I have to pull the bit out , tighten the chuck up and drill again. Happens all the time. Also when I am using the Hammer Drill option it keeps slipping out of position and the numbers have worn off so that I can't see which mode I am in.
