The OLD is excellent so will the NEW be.
Rating: 5
We owned a VERY old Hitachi 1 1/2" hammer that finally quit that was nearly identical to this new drill. The old was excellent. I discovered the reputation of the new one is equally excellent and superior to any other brand on the market. So why change? P.S. The new tool's work has just begun.

Perfect size for small demo work!

I have had this for several months now, and have used it to demo walkways and a fire place. Works great! Also used it to core a 2" hole through a 18" thick masonry wall. Highly recommend this tool!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

So far so good

works like expected, just had to toss two old ones that the manufacturers, Hitachi and Milwaukie, stopped making parts for. Very annoying!!!

Best hammer drill that I purchased
Rating: 5
Easy to use. More comfortable then other brands I have used in past. Replaced my Bosch one that broke after 2 years. Mostly use for setting metal post in concrete slabs. This drill saved time and money doing so. I have experience with all brands on the market have been in this field for over 30 years. I'm planning on purchasing other tools from company to replace the older ones I have.
