Hitachi DV18DL 18-volt, Go Green!

Go Green!
Let’s get the visual appearance out of the way first, shall we? Not everyone is going to like the high tech look of this tool (although I personally happen to love it). If you look at other Japanese power tool manufacturers such as Makita and Panasonic you’ll see they are also using [...]

Powerful, fast. Wobbling chuck
I compared this drill with Milwaukee 0824-20 and it is much faster and powerful than Milwaukee. Makita took 39 secs to drill a 1/2 inch hole in 4 inch concrete block (not hollow). Milwaukee did the job on 52 sec.
Both Batteries drilled 5 holes and then died. Milwaukee is super heavy makita [...]

Cordless battery that seems like a cord is attached
I bought the Panasonic EYC142B 14.4V Lithium Ion 3-Tool Combo Kit with Drill & Driver, Impact Driver and Flashlight. I bought an extra battery for a total of three. I use the drill the most. Light weight with the Lithium Ion battery. Drill hangs [...]

Black & Decker VPX1501, Mighty might inflator

Mighty might inflator
I own black and deckers older versapak inflator. This one has better batteries so it works at least as well even though the older unit might have a better pumping action. I used this to pump up the tires on my trailer, I think it mostly drained a battery (didn’t stop [...]
