Hitachi - Cordless Drill DS14DVF
Note that Hitachi has replaced this 14.4v drill-driver with model No. DS14DMR.
Oct 25, 2005
The compact size and light weight make this a nice drill, even though its short, tapered front chuck sleeve was particularly difficult to tighten. While it trailed the competitors in torque and power tests and had problems with slippage, it excelled as a workbench tool. It’s good for running small screws and boring small holes, and it won’t wear you out. The Hitachi is runner-up for Best Value. (Note that Hitachi has replaced this drill with model DS14DMR.)
