Hitachi WH10DL Review
Hitachi WH10DL Review by Jack
I bought this for $100 a year and a half ago ($300 for this is insanity go to Lowe's or somewhere else). There are plenty of options for $200-$400, but that is a lot of money. I figured if I had to buy 2 or 3 of these it would still be worth it. It has been! I work in a heavy industrial environment that reeks havoc on tools but this has lasted far beyond my expectations. It is very light weight and has great battery life (approximately 300 1/4" bolts). I use it mostly with a 3/8" socket adapter. It has withstood 130 degree heat drops from 4' and merciless gypsum dust. My only complaint is the torque, I would say it is closer to 500 inch pounds, but I bought it for convenience not torque.
Hitachi WH10DL Review by Martin L. Olivas
I have been using mine for about 2 months now, and it has yet to disappoint me. I paid about $60 for mine on clearance at Sears, and it paid for itself in the first week I had it. I was on a job working on a garage for someone, and I used it when replacing the garage doors. It came in very handy for the many many self tapping screws, nuts and bolts involved in assembling a garage door and track. I also to put a metal roof on a 12x20' carport. I started with a fully charged battery and drove about 200 1.25" roofing screws in 30 minutes. The battery held up until later the next day after driving several more screws while hanging sheet metal on the sides of the carport. It has no trouble with deck screws up to about 2.5", but when you get into the larger diameter 3"+ deck screws it does kill the battery quickly. But after using a 19.2 volt Craftsman Impact driver for hours a day prior to buying this one, I quickly appreciated the light weight and compactness of this driver.
Hitachi WH10DL Review by Z. Abedin "Z Unit" (St Louis, MO)
This tool is one of the most ingenious and valuable tools i've ever used, and I'd recommend anyone who drives any number of screws regularly (or a lot of screws every now and then) get an impact driver.
The first day i showed up at a site with my brand new little hitachi impact driver, i had at least five girls call it a "baby drill" and a couple of guys laughed. Now, after working with this tool at least a few hours every day for the last two weeks, i continuously get requests from people who need me to remove stripped screws or to help drive in complicated screws (toenails, deep sunk screws, awkward angles).
Out of all the micro impact drivers on the market, this one has the highest torque (930 in-lbs), and it really shows. I've been driving numerous 2 1/2" screws without any problem, and 4" screws are also really easy to handle, though the battery life suffers when you start driving screws longer than 3". This driver has kept me from using a crowbar to remove semi-stripped screws so many times, its probably saved me from a few hours of work. Its so small that i can keep it in my back pocket while i'm using my bigger drill to make holes , and the battery life has been pretty impressive. I wouldnt recommend it as the primary driver for someone who builds decks for a living, but its a great tool to accompany a bigger drill, or would be perfect for the homeowner looking for something to help putting in screws during those longer projects.
The design is really easy to handle, and the driver feels great in your hand. It spins super fast and the light weight is really manageable, so you can get a screw started really easily, then after the impact mechanism takes over, you really only need one hand to sink your screw. This thing is POWERFUL, and gives the user absolutely no hand fatigue and no stripped screws.
