The DeWalt hammer drill/driver has a high-efficiency DeWalt-built motor that’s capable of delivering 510 unit watts of maximum power for superior performance. And to keep it all running at top-capacity, this drill/driver is powered by an 18-volt XRP extended run-time battery that’s designed for steady, reliable use and long life that won’t waver mid-task.

The DC925 comes ready to get down to business, with a patented 3-speed, all-metal transmission that lets you easily match the tool’s speed to any application. It also features a heavy-duty 1/2-inch, self-tightening chuck that tightens while you work, for impressive bit-gripping torque that never slips or fails. No matter the project, this hammer drill’s superior ergonomics are styled to optimize balance, size, and weight — so it’s easy to hold and simple to handle, giving you unparalleled precision on the job. And because it sets a priority on convenience, the DC925KA is built to store standard nut drivers and a variety of screwdriving bit tips right on-board.

This hammer drill/driver boasts three speed settings: 0-450 rpm, 0-1,500 rpm, and 0-2,000 rpm; and it allows for three blow speed settings, too: 0-7,650 bpm, 0-25,500 bpm, and 0-34,000 bpm.

Amazon.com Product Review
The truth is, this drill/driver is a kick to use. When we wrapped our hands around it, it just felt goooood. Hitachi’s hot new tool design makes this drill look like something out of a sci-fi flick, but it’s got down-to-earth power and torque that, quite frankly, surprised us.

Pop a bit into the 1/2-inch keyless chuck and admire the two speed ranges of 0-400 in low and 0-1,200 in high, and even tough jobs are no match for its whopping 400 inch-pounds of torque and 22-position clutch. For all that power, it’s pleasantly light, and if we had a couple hours of overhead work to do, we’d be happy to be using this. We’re even impressed with the flashlight – it’s plenty bright and stands solidly on its own. Batteries (not one, but two) charge up quick in the charger, and everything fits neatly into the carrying case. This is a nice combination set for the homeowner, do-it-yourselfer and the construction professional. –Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Amazon.com Review
We’d be hard-pressed to name another drill that packs as much power yet weighs as little as this one does. When you pick it up, it’s so lightweight that you can’t imagine it can tackle much, but just draw back the trigger and be amazed.

This 14-volt two-speed drill/driver has a two-piece magnet motor and a 22-position clutch that together put an impressive 300 inch-pounds of torque in your hand so you can effortlessly drive screws into the hardest woods. The two-speed transmission is controlled with a one-touch button on top of the tool body, giving you the choice of 0 to 400 or 0 to 1,200 rpm, and operations are smooth at either speed. The 3/8-inch chuck is keyless, of course, for super-easy bit changes, and the jaws grab and hold the bit securely with zero runout.

We’re always on the lookout for easy battery changes, and this one qualifies, because it’s easy to disengage and slides off without a struggle. It’s a good choice for smaller hands, and not just for the easy battery removal: the whole drill weighs just 4 pounds and measures up at not quite 8 inches long. The grip is extremely comfortable and again, great for smaller hands. Balance is perfect, and we can imagine working overhead for hours with this drill without strain. It maneuvers perfectly into the tightest spots, places that beefy 18-volters just can’t go.

The belt hook is a nice feature, with five angles to choose from: 0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 degrees. We like the bit set that comes with this package, too, and have found Hitachi bits to be reliable and durable over the long run. The flashlight also is a nice addition, and it runs off the same battery as the drill. The beam is powerful and the light stands independently, and you can’t ask for more than that. Finally, Hitachi’s got one of the best warranties, with 5-year coverage. This is a set you won’t regret buying.

The Hitachi Story
Hitachi was founded in 1910 as an electrical machinery repair shop by Japanese entrepreneur Namihei Odaira. Since then, Hitachi has grown into a global company operating in industries ranging from tools to computing. The company’s flagship office remains in Japan, but it has offices all over the world.

Hitachi’s history in the power tools business really got started in 1948 with the launch of Hitachi Koki, an electric power tool manufacturing unit designed to meet Hitachi’s growing industrial needs. Hitachi Koki pushed the envelope few key areas, most notably high-speed motor, precision machining, and electronic control technologies. In 1973, Hitachi Koki began exporting tools to markets worldwide.

Hitachi Koki’s goal from the start was to eventually produce and sell all of its products locally. In 1980, it launched Hitachi Power Tools U.S.A to market tools in the United States (it didn’t start producing tools in the U.S. until 1994). During the 80s, Hitachi Power Tools U.S.A. built its reputation for quality on the success of its pneumatic framing nailer and sliding compound miter saws. At the same time, it poured resources into research and development in other areas, leading it to a number of firsts power tool technology. Hitachi pioneered the sliding compound miter saw, cordless impact driver, collated automatic screw driver, pneumatic concrete nailer, cordless screw driver, metal stud cutter, portable rebar cutter/bender, 10-minute rapid charger, 2.0, 2.2, and 2.4 Ah Ni-Cad batteries, 3.0 Ni-MH batteries, and the use of rare earth magnet motors in cordless tools.

Hitachi Power Tools U.S.A. was renamed Hitachi Koki U.S.A. in 1994 to denote the addition of manufacturing to the United States. Today, it sells more than 1000 models of electric power tools, focusing on compact/high out-put motor technology. The company has obtained recognition under the ISO 9000 series international standards for quality assurance. Hitachi Koki also received ISO 14001 certification for environmentally sound management.

This one’s a bit of a paradox: The do-it-yourselfer might pass by this compressor in favor of an oil-free, no-maintenance model, but it’s actually one of the best on the market for the homeowner, hobbyist and weekend warrior.

There are three factors that made us form this opinion. First, it’s the quietest compressor we’ve ever encountered. It’s a remarkable departure in a genre of tools that normally force you to suspend conversation while it’s cycling. The MAC700 puts out 80 decibels, according to the folks at Makita, and when you compare that to the 90 and up you get from most units, that’s practically a hum. So we like this for household use, especially in a basement shop.

Next on our list of pluses for the DIY-er is the low-amp draw, and with that, fewer trips to the breaker box and less chance of premature motor failure. The other feature that won us over is the easy-on-the-hand lever handle ball valve that saves your knuckles when you drain the tank. It’s also got a really fast cycle, so by the time you take a sip of water, you’re ready to work again.

It’s made like a champ, with a roll-bar handle that protects your investment, a cast-iron cylinder for durability and an oil sight glass that makes maintenance a breeze.–Kris Jensen-Van Heste

  • Narrow nose reaches tight areas and corners for detailed trim work
  • Weights 2.21 pounds; limited one year factory warranty

Amazon.com Product Description

It’s no wonder this tool was hailed the “Lexus of pinners” by a leading consumer magazine. Ideal for nailing finish and trim, light wood assemblies, paneling and more, this supremely versatile pinner is the only nail gun on the market equipped with a magazine that adjusts itself for easy loading of a variety of nail sizes. In fact, the tool accepts nine different nail sizes from 3/8 up to 1-3/8 inches to take on a wide array of nailing tasks, making it the go-to gun for do-it-yourselfers and pros alike.

The tool also features an extended narrow nose for accessing corners and tight areas. Perfect for working with softwood trim, rattan furniture, and crafts, this pinner ensures precision fastening of delicate materials with no splitting. Though, its powerful motor drives pins into the hardest materials like oak trim and maple. A compact and lightweight design (less than 8 inches long and just over 2 pounds) means better maneuverability for working in corners and high overhead. A double trigger safety prevents accidental firing–a key feature for conserving compressor air, pins, and for preventing injuries. And, this side-loading unit is equipped with a mechanism that prevents fasteners from tumbling for fewer jams. The unit’s removable nose cover provides easy access for clearing jams should they occur. A removable no-mar tip prevents marring of work surface. A rear exhaust with built-in silencer reduces exhaust sound, and a handy indicator lets you see when it’s time to reload. Versatility, smooth operation, and even a convenient belt hook for easy transport and safe ladder work–you can’t go wrong here. –Brian D. Olson

This straight brad nailer is one of seven new heavy-duty air-powered nailers from the venerable Milwaukee, and the whole series is another testament to the red label’s unflagging quality.

Like all of Milwaukee’s new nailers, this is incredibly light, even fully loaded, and its cool, compact size makes it a cinch to tote and use, especially in awkward positions and at the tail end of a long day of trim installation. But it’s crowded at the top of the list: Despite their light weight, these nailers are heavyweights in the power department. The 7150-21 effortlessly drives 5/8″ to 2-1/8″ brads and, best of all, its reload indicator even alerts you when your magazine’s nearly empty. Loading more fasteners takes a couple of seconds at most, and that means more money in your pocket. Another big tip of the hat to Milwaukee for incorporating both sequential and bump firing modes, accessible just by turning a knob, so when speed is a need, you’re ready to go, but precision is at your fingertips too. We like the quality built into this tool, from the magnesium housing and oil-free motor to the easily adjustable air deflector and muffler, as well as the convenient rafter hook for storage. The non-marring nosepiece won’t deface your work surface, and there’s even a self-cleaning air filter in the tool handle, keeping dust and dirt out of the tool’s workings – and that means longer tool life. In hand, this nailer feels great: light, comfortable, agile, beautifully balanced, and dare we say, fun to use. Tool-free depth adjustment is on-the-mark reliable, fast and easy. And should the nails jam, clearing is a snap with the tool-free jam release. Bravo, Milwaukee.–Kris Jensen-Van Heste
