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.

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!!!

I Always Wanted One
Rating: 5
I purchased the H45MEY because of the Brushless Feature and High Efficiency Inverter. I prior owned other brands which I lent to a neighbor, did warn him to let it cool down so as not to burn out the armature, but he didn't listen. This item was specifically purchased for my landscaping project, have been using it for a month now, is quiet, minimal vibration, nice ergonomics and lots of power.
