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)...

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).
