Hitachi screw-gun --not best buy!!! Jul 22, 2008
I got my new Screw-gun in timely fashion to help put down a new sub-floor. It was a great improvement over a regular drill with screw driver attachment. The only trouble with it is that the design for adjusting the depth of screw set is very poor!!! Screws either sink through the sheet or don't go in far enough. The instructions say to rotate or pull out the depth adjustment but it is only a piece of plastic that moves on a sliding sleeve, every time you set a screw. I am thinking of putting some type of o-ring on the darned thing to set the screws properly. Hitachi should be ashamed of this design.

 Super Fast, Powerful, & Least Amount of Arm Strain Mar 09, 2007
I love this screw gun! The only thing bad I have to say about it is the green cheap rubber graphics that is on it. It started falling off the first day I had it on a hot steel roof. This gun is in its 8th month of use. Wanted to wait to review it after I abuse the heck out of it. Most drywallers work indoors. I work outdoors in the midwest elements year round. I converted this screw gun to install 1/4" Hex Self Tapping sheet metal screws on pole barns. All you need is the right cone tip (call Hitachi CS) and a 2 9/16" (1/4") magnetic nut driver.
Image how many screws I have fired in with this in 8 months! Picture a 200' long by 80' wide pole barn and how many screws it takes. Two sides of the roof, walls, and some of the trim. The company I work for provides Dewalt 2300 rpm screw guns. Those guns made my forearm muscle hurt at the end of the day. After a couple hundred feet of wall steel off an extention ladder. The Hitachi's speed and torque of the gun sometimes is overkill but, my arm feels fine at the end of a 10-12 hour day.
1. Speed. My production has increased 10 fold. Keeping up with people who have been with the company 5+ years, in my first year.
2. Power. With torque to go through the sheet metal, hit a truss gusset/clip and go right into the wood with ease. Seen people struggle with the Dewalt and even damage the steel.
3. Fatigue. No more arm strain when extending my reach off a ladder. Its light weight and has great hand contours. Can be used right or left handed. The Hitachi does the work not you.
4. Endurance. Illinois weather is unpredictable. I have put the W6VM in every weather senario. Hot & Cold temps, snow, sleet, drizzle, mud, dirt, gravel, clay and sand terrains. Its been kicked, stepped on, and dropped. Locking the trigger and running it full bore up to 20 minutes at a time without unlocking. Never overheated or froze up. Motor hasn't skiped a beat or lost any power.
5. Flaws. The green rubber on it is a nice attempt to comfort my hand but, is cheap and not molded to the hard plastic of the gun. The depth setting cone is showing some wear now. I will probably have to replace it in the next year. But hey, for what its been through I can justify replacing 2 moving parts.
Last, the long cord is a nice feature. You'll free up an extention cord. On a 100' long roof I can usually get away with using one 25' extention cord.

Nice, but not worth $1000! Jul 20, 2005
Good driver, but a reasonable retail value would be closer to $99 than it would be the listed $999
