Hitachi WH10DL 10.8-Volt Cordless Lithium-Ion Micro Impact Driver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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 screwsso 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.

1 Hard Carrying CaseCompact, Lightweight Impact Driver is Easy to Handle and Hold
Measuring 5-1/2 inches long and weighing just two pounds, the WH10DL Micro Impact Driver is small enough to fit in tight spaces. It easily fits in any tool belt, and its lightweight design promotes easy one-handed operation and minimal fatigue on all-day jobs. The optimized handle with Elastomer wrap provides additional comfort and a secure grip.
Powerful Enough to Tackle a Wide Range of Applications
Though small, the WH10DL is able to generate enough power to handle a wide range of applications. The WH10DL's powerful motor boasts a class-leading 930 in./lbs. of torque, so it will make easy work of most drilling, driving, and fastening applications.
The variable-speed trigger allows for precise control over the speed of the drill--between 0 and 2,300 RPM--and the impact rate of 0-3,000 BPM takes care of tough masonry applications, stubborn bolts, and other challenging tasks.
Specially Designed Chuck for Ease of Use
For ease of use, the WH10DL features an LED ring that surrounds the 1/4-inch quick-change chuck and illuminates the work surface, making it easy to use the drill driver in darker work areas. The chuck requires no tools for bit changes--simply pull out, insert the bit, and release the chuck.
HXP Batteries Last Three Times Longer and Weigh 50% Less
The WH10DL owes its light weight to two HXP Lithium-Ion batteries (included). These 1.5-Ah batteries weigh half of what traditional NiCd or NiMH batteries weigh. In fact, tools featuring HXP batteries are on average one pound lighter than tools using traditional batteries.
Additionally, HXP batteries last three times longer than their competition. Where NiCd and NiMH batteries could be used for up to 500 charge cycles, HXP Lithium-Ion batteries can be used for up to 1,500 charge cycles! An added bonus, the included quick charger replenishes the battery power in just 40 minutes, so you have less down time.
HXP Lithium-Ion batteries operate within optimal voltage limits, protecting both the tool and batteries from damage. Protection circuitry built into the batteries and charger monitors the charge and discharge for each battery cell, resulting in peak operating performance.
And if a surge in power is detected during use, Hitachi's Over-Current Protection technology will temporarily shut of the power to protect the batteries and tool from being damaged. This feature allows the power to return to optimal voltage, thereby extending battery and tool life beyond any competitive lithium-ion products.
HXP batteries come with a two-year HXP Lithium-Ion Battery Warranty, which protects against possible defects in materials and workmanship.
The Industry's Longest Lithium-Ion Tool Warranty
Every Hitachi cordless power tool is designed to the highest standards and is rigorously tested for both performance and durability. All HXP Lithium-Ion cordless tools come with a 10-year Lithium-Ion Tool Warranty, which protects against possible defects in materials and workmanship.
