• "EC79 is Great for Home projects!"

Review excerpt:

The Hitachi EC79 compressor was just the ticket for the work I did putting in a Bamboo floor in my Master Bedroom. Every nail I placed using the EC79 was perfect (except for those I screwed up myself). There was never a time that this little unit did not live up to the job I required of it.

The reason why I rated it a 4 instead of a 5 was it is a bit loud to use inside. It wasn't as loud as the nailer, but it was still loud. I wouldn't want to use it inside if anyone were trying to sleep in the house. Otherwise, though, it is a spectacular unit.

• "Fantastic little driver / drill"

Review excerpt:

I received this as a promo bundle with a larger Hitachi 18 volt drill -- but I've found I like the DB3DL more than the 18 volter! The DB3DL is small and compact. The "high" speed on the drill is more than fast enough to drill pilot holes in drywall or soft lumber, while the "low" speed has enough torque to drive in #8 screws into pine decking. The Lithium Ion batteries have a good amount of charge and the little LED light is handy when drilling in a closet or back of a dresser.

The one complaint I have is that the "low" speed is still pretty fast -- sometimes to fast to set small screws. I wish there was a variable speed trigger or a "super-slow" mode, but otherwise I'm 98% happy with this!
