Powerful motor, which drills through just about anything with ease - almost too easily, so you have to be careful to control the depth of holes! Hitachi claim 3 joule impact power on the hammer action, and I can believe it.
Noisy, but then most SDS drills are.
Gets hots very quickly, with lots of initial oil escape from the chuck, which I'm told can be expected, so it's messy at first : clutch can be slow to 'kick in' when drill jams.
The Hitachi DH24PC3 SDS Drill looks a bit like a training shoe designer has been let loose on this, but it is a businesslike drill all the same!
I had problems with the first one which was replaced, but this may have been due to a faulty (loose) SDS chisel bit. The replacement has been excellent so far. Cuts chases well with hammer impact setting - not as good as a Bosch equivalent which I tried, but this one was on offer, so I think is fair value for the money I paid (under £150).
