Battery life is great. The torque settings are a little stiff but ...
Works really well. Battery life is great. The torque settings are a little stiff but work well enough that you can install a light switch plate without cracking it. For people saying it doesn’t have enough torque you really need to use the right tool for the job. Drilled a few pilot holes in concrete with my hammer drill then installed tapcons for Christmas lights with no problem. Put up a shelf in my garage drilled a hole for anchors the set the screws with no problem. If you need to drill a bunch of screws into hardwood without a pilot hole then get a regular drill. The one I received has a rubber protector so it doesn’t pinch you when you fold it over to use it drill style. The 2 speeds, forward/reverse and torque settings give you a lot of control. The led works well and I like that you can control it manually. For light jobs around the home the Hitachi is a fast ready to go tool.
