QUESTION:Presently have an Hitachi cordless 14.4v. impact driver. Use it for driving
screws into wood. Very pleased with it so far. But this is my first ever
impact driver, so I don't really know whether I should be impressed with
Hitachi or the fact that I'm now using an impact driver for screws rather (ostensibly a better match) than my (corded) drill driver. That said, I am
in the market to buy a cordless drill driver (since I discovered my impact
driver is not quite as handy as a dedicated drill for when used for
drilling). But I'm kind of torn between my long time admiration of Bosch
tools and my current infatuation with Hitachi (or, at least, their cordless
drivers). And since I'm not independently wealthy, I can't afford to just
by one of each (although that would certainly make for a more fun
afternoon). Therefore I'm seeking opinions/feedback/advice/experiences
related to cordless drill drivers by Bosch and/or Hitachi (and/or any other
decent quality brand worth mentioning)
ANSWER:
We currently have both an Hitachi and Bosch-
Both are the "better" tools on the market
my personal opinion is that Bosch has more "guts" for longterm
use.
Hitachi- for the price- has more bang for the buck than alot of more
expensive brands, but I still think that Bosch is worth the investment
If you are going the Bosch route make sure to get the BlueCore
batteries and battery charger - Longer life quicker charge time
