 Very Happy To Turn Green! Jul 03, 2005
By Corky
It's funky design might turn you off but this is one solid powerful drill. With it's 550 in/lbs of torque, a great chuck, 3 amp/hr batteries, excellently balanced and a very precise feel. This is a pro-grade drill that takes alot of abuse and they back it up with a 5 year warranty. I bought a hammer drill this time because I have to drill into concrete all of the time and this drills into it effortlessly. I was a Panasonic fan but the one I had quit on me after a year because of all the abuse I put a hand drill thru. I heard of Hitachi's reputation so I switched. I am a big hitachi fan now.

Not For Every Job - it's HEAVY Sep 22, 2005
By Rats make great pets "Steve"
While still new this drill appears to be very well made. With a five year warranty, it's real hard to go wrong. The drill has lots of power and run time with the Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries. The chuck ratchets tight like my DeWalt DC988. The bright adjustable LED accessory light on the handle, which can be switched to the other side, is not only a great idea, but someone should have thought of this a long time ago. The drill is well-balanced. The forward, lock and reverse select has postive detents. The color scheme is cool and the housing is actually designed to let sweat run away and not make the drill slippery. Nice thought, but I use gloves when the going gets tough.
Now to some faults: Since it is so new, even Hitachi didn't know where batteries for the light could be purchased. It comes with 2 X AAAA (yes 4 A's). It is also called an "N" battery. I bought two extra Duracell "Medical" batteries MN9100B2 for $3.83. Like any 18 volt hammer drill, it is heavy. Hold six pounds over your head and try to do some delicate work. I finished this job with my trusty DeWalt 9.6 volt drill. It has nowhere near the power, but I didn't need the power and couldn't hold the weight long enough.
This is an excellent drill and I have rated it tops for innovation, power, ergonomics, overall construction, warranty, motor and battery technology. As a potential buyer of this drill, you really need to know how you will use it. Do you really need a hammer drill? Not all jobs require this kind of power and the weight can be a drawback. While I am fortunate in being able to have several drills for different jobs, not everyone has these needs or is willing to spend that amount of money. If I could only have one drill, I would compromise and pick a 14.4 volt drill from DeWalt like the DC984KA hammer drill with a "mid" mount handle which weighs about a pound less. It has a 3 speed transmission, proven battery technology and a three year warranty.

Hitachi DV18DMR 18 volt Hammer Drill
Very nice unit all around. It is heavier than similar units but that allows for precise metal drilling. All around great first rate unit!!!

 Long term review Apr 11, 2006
By G. Mills
"construction guy"
I had Dewalt drills for 10 years. They were always good with the exception of the batteries. I switched to the Hitachi drill hoping for better batteries, I was disappointed. I work construction and use the drill everyday. I will admit the drill gets alot of hard use. The first thing I noticed about the Hitachi drill is that it has quite a bit less torque in the high setting than the Dewalt. My drill is now 1 year old and no longer works. For the last 10 months the drill would get hot real fast. After drilling a 5/8" hole,with a new bit, through 10" of wood, the drill now only works in reverse. This time I will spend my money on a Dewalt. This drill would probably work for most people but if you do construction for a living then you should pass on this drill. The hammerdrill option worked well. The light was too dim to be useful.

Awesome Aug 13, 2005
By J. Haywood
Is there such a thing as too much power? Nah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But this Hitachi has it. Will pull screws through any material I'm using. Very smooth and the light is nice idea. A bit heavy but any thing over 14V is heavy.
