Between the innovations, promos, etc. most importantly the tools get it done. I’m seeing much light green as I load out as well baseball dude! I do wish they refined their production @ finish. but where it really counts they’re doing many things right.
Here’s a bit. Have put about 60,000 self tapping 6x40 mm screws in. Loved it when it was brand new. Have taken it apart heaps for general cleaning. After 30,000 screws (approx) I noticed the hammer anvil showing big wear. Significantly more than my Makita’s. However the Hitachi has a sealed bearing up front as opposed to archaic bush set up. As such , it doesn’t suffer speed wobbles after a couple of months ...like my makita’s .
Had Hitachi for about 10 years, just a basic impact driver and two 2.5ah batteries to start. The new stuff is superb. Just picked up this unit so I'm keen to find out how it handles.
Great review as always Roger! Loving the new features on the channel, Ask the builder and The Extension. Don’t envy you cutting a live waste pipe... keep the videos coming!
very good review...for the settings : the first one is for the really small scews you can`t use with other impact drivers (just too powerful) and for the front bitholder,many others like milwaukee,makita,bosch and others,are not bigger. and the 3-5 year warranty is really a thing...
Hitachi released new 36V version of this impact driver, exactly the same size, they added juice left indicator on 36V battery, they say there is less overheating chance, and higher screwing performance when battery below 50%
maybe ask Hitachi distributor, I wonder how this 36V battery behaves on 18V tool, will it use whole capacity, or half, whether performance is similar to 5Ah ...
I have been using the 18V and the 36V The 36 V is definitely even more powerful and runs cooler than the 18V but the two 18V triple hammers have been holding up for over 4 yrs
My bloody Milwaukee batteries have holes in under them....some moisture came in a killed 4 out of 10 cells....lucky i had some spares lying around so i fixed it myself.....the thing wouldn't last 1 second in that bucket of water for sure
This has been a great I pact driver for 4 yrs and got me going with more.in the 36V line as well

That is great feedback. That kind of long-term test is just what people need.
with the 3-5 year warranty it should not be an issue...
The 36v multivolt version is badass!

For some reason, the shit never worried me but I hated unblocking urinals
Skill Builder 💩🤢
You put your hex bit in, your screw bit out, in out...shake it all about....you do the HiKoki and you turn around...that's what it's all about.

deviceundertest I've purchased it on amazon.co.jр
I have been using the 18V and the 36V
The 36 V is definitely even more powerful and runs cooler than the 18V but the two 18V triple hammers have been holding up for over 4 yrs
I wonder if it will include the Lady Massager as well?
Are the battery's ip56 as well?
I have one of those as new but the trigger or a switch is cutting out..it's not working properly
there is a 3-year warranty on them around here,just replace it...
I can't wait to see the Makita dtd170
Is it made in USA?
You can chuck water on panasonic
Yes but they no longer give it an IP56 rating
My bloody Milwaukee batteries have holes in under them....some moisture came in a killed 4 out of 10 cells....lucky i had some spares lying around so i fixed it myself.....the thing wouldn't last 1 second in that bucket of water for sure
What is the best driver you've ever tried?
Nathen
Go to our channel and watch the Showwdown. DeWalt was best but Makita, Milwaukee, Hilti also good

Panasonic? Didn’t know that’s a thing.
