General Comments

I am fed up with Hitachi stuff, this DH24PC3 SDS drill and some of their other bits (eg angle grinders) just aren't worth the dosh. I'm a professional craftsman, -over 40yrs in the trades, and have bought / will buy a lot of equipment for the various trades I'm involved in.

On occasions I've been tempted to buy a 'lesser machine' when I needed a bit of kit quickly, and there were no dealers around who had what I _really_ wanted in stock. = Big Mistake!
Why do Hitachi (and some other firms) turn out rubbish like this? How does it profit them?
Overall, I try to always buy 'Pro' quality machines, and, as a general rule, **Makita** gear has never let me down. This is a well-known fact in the UK building trades. If you're in doubt about buying some gear, pick up a Makita... like as not, you won't then be putting it in the bin in a few weeks! :(
{{ and no, I don't for 'em! }} :-p
