Powers Through the Toughest Jobs with Precision
The DS14DVF3 Driver Drill has a two-piece magnet motor that offers class-leading maximum torque of 300 in/lbs, so you can power through even the toughest jobs. And two-speed transmission is controlled by a one-touch speed knob that lets you choose the right setting for your job--either 0-400 RPM or 0-1,200 RPM.Also, a 22-stage clutch offers easy adjustments for high torque and precision driving in wood, plastic, steel, and aluminum. And with tool-less clutch adjustment, this drill handles precision fasteners, such as drywall screws, without damaging walls. Compact, Ergonomic Design for Easy Handling
The DS14DVF3 has all the power you need and is still lightweight and compact enough to provide superior handling. At just 7-3/4 inches in length and weighing just four pounds, this tool reduces user fatigue and can be used on a ladder or in tight spaces where larger cordless drills can't reach. An added bonus, a non-slip elastomer grip provides comfort and safety. Adding to this drill's easy-handling features is a 3/8-inch keyless chuck that allows for easy bit changes, as well as a belt hook--with two bit holders--that saves time and adds convenience. Everything You Need in One Package
The DS14DVF3 Kit includes more than just the cordless driver drill. It also includes a high-quality flashlight and a seven-piece bit set to get you started immediately. For further convenience, a protective carrying case stores it all for easy portability from job to job. Long-Lasting NiCD Batteries Charge in 35 Minutes
The DS14DVF3 kit's driver drill and flashlight run on 1.4-Ah nickel cadmium (NiCD) batteries (included), which offer longer runtimes and fewer charges than traditional batteries. The kit's quick charger fully charges the batteries in just 35 minutes, and you can expect about 300 charges over the life of each battery. An added bonus, the charger is compatible with other Hitachi tools that use NiCD rechargeable batteries (up to 18 volts). The Hitachi DS14DVF3 Driver Drill Kit with Flashlight is backed by a five-year warranty. What's in the Box
DS14DVF3 driver drill, driver bit, seven-piece bit set, flashlight, two 1.4-Ah batteries, quick charger, and carrying case.

 best for the money March 24, 2006

I install cabinets for a living. I use cordless drills all day long, every day. After trying several brands, i have found that most are similar. The best attribute to the hitachi is the price. When the batteries are worn out, it is cheaper to buy a new drill(with 2 batteries and a charger) than to replace other brands batteries. I own three 14.4 volt drills, and one 12 volt impact driver. The impact driver lacks power.

I've had this drill for over a year and I've purchased a second so I'll have two drills for big jobs. It has great battery life and exceptional torque for a 14.4V battery. The charger also charges a battery in about 20 minutes.
It's not an industrial drill for framing a house but it can build a fence and re-drywall an entire room without any problems (two jobs I've done with this drill).
It's unreasonable to complain about it not working if you drop it from 8 feet.
Oh, consumer reports also rates this a best buy.
Excellent Drill January 15, 2007

This drill has plenty of power for any job. I used it to go through 2 2x4's as I needed to run some electrical wire for a transfer switch. It went through the studs easily and the compact design made it lighter and easier to handle. I wasn't using a paddle bit but a hole saw so the drill has the power. I have a Craftsman cordless drill that is larger and heavier that wasn't able to handle the job. This drill comes with 2 gear settings low and high which also made the job easier. I really like the flashlight as it has a flat base and the adjustable head allowed me to point the light where I needed it. While I didn't have to charge the batteries after this use having a 30 minute charger means I will never be without power.

This is the first Hitachi tool I've ever bought. It certainly won't be my last. It's a very good drill, but, let's face it, a drill is a drill. I'm most impressed with the Ni-Cad battery. It lasts much longer than the other drill batteries I've used--and I've used a few. It also charges much faster than the others. I debated buying a cordless drill with Li-Ion batteries, but bought this one instead. I'm sure I've made the right choice. I don't use a drill enough to warrant the price of the Li-Ion batteries, and I don't see how they could be much better than this one anyway. I recently hung some sheetrock. By the time my battery needed changing, the other one was completely recharged. Every time. This is a good product and a very good deal.
Great cordless drill, great price February 23, 2010

When this Hitachi cordless drill popped up today on Amazon's Gold Box Deal of the Day I was quick to snap it up. This will be my 3rd identical drill and my current two are still going strong. I couldn't pass up the chance to get another one of these great cordless drills with 2 more batteries for less than the price of the batteries alone.
These drill have plenty of torque, last a long time on a charge, and the batteries recharge really fast. The flashlight is also a very useful accessory. Though, I have never used it as a flashlight, it is fantastic to drain the batteries down to zero charge every 4th of 5th time to refresh the ni-cad batteries. Ni-cad batteries develop a "memory" when they are charged repeatedly without being drained. Eventually, the charge won't last much past the normal use time. Draining the batteries occasionally refreshes them.
