Good reliable woodworking tools. Their motors are a little scratchier sounding than say Makita. They are well powered and I always seemed to be able to get spare parts for them easily which is an important factor when purchasing a tool. They are quite robust. I've had to change out all the leads on my Hitachi tools as they are not long enough for ease of use, particularly circular saws, planers etc when your going to end up 8 feet away from where you introduce your tool to the workpiece.

I still occasionally use my 20 year old Hitachi jigsaw (240v corded), it's been a while since I've had to bring it out of the cupboard, but it still performs as good as it did when I first bought it b

Got the 16ga straight nailer gas nail gun. Good reliable bit of kit. Bought second hand after I'd been using a mates. Soft foot doesn't leave any marks, limited recoil. Better than the DeWalt brushless nailer which is temperamental. Not had any experience of their customer service so given them the benefit of my assumption and marked 4 stars!.

Hitachi make mid range products products that are better than cheap diy tools but not as good as Makita, dewalt or Milwaukee tools.
They are a good range with many applications that all work with the one 18v power cell

A former colleague of mint had the second fix nail gun. He loved it. Seemed like a nice piece of kit for the money spent. Angled gun good for using in tighter spaces. Nice and light when using.

Hitachi or Hikoki as they are now known are a wothy alternative to the big 3 (dewalt, makita, milwaukee) i have used all these brands and in all honesty with combi drills at least, there is little beween them other than price. Well worth considering

I really like hitachi. They have changed their name to hikoki lately. Anyway, i have the half inch router and its a really smooth piece of kit. Great power and cutting ability and i got mine on offer at amazon so i saved a few quid. Better in my pocket than theirs!

Mitre saw for £189 absolutely love it, the clamp isn’t particularly useful but a decent mitre saw bench and that doesn’t matter. The dust collection is pretty good without a vac attachment, it’s just a little fiddly when it comes to blade changes but it built my whole extension cutting all the timber and the fibre cement boards without faulted.
Nice and light.
Folds and clamps into transport easily.
The laser isn’t the easiest to zero but it has stayed true since setting it up. For the money it’s well worth it

I bought an SDS Hammer Drill 12 years ago and after putting this drill through its paces over the years its stood up to the tasks well.
Only problem I've found after 9 years was in chisel mode when it wouldn't lock and started to turn a bit while in use but all drilling modes still work fine.
I've bought a new SDS Hammer Drill since (still Hitachi, just before they rebranded to Hikoki) that I use now and keep the older drill for hole drilling only now.

Hitachi now known I believe as hikoki?
Have been making fantastic quality tools for years!!
I own a small grinder and reciprocating saw both 240volt. They work as good as the day I bought them! Many years on!
Not generally overpriced in my opinion!
But to be honest I’ve not experienced and cordless products!
Corded great!!!!

I’ve used loads of hitachi tools and I’ve found them to be good quality. All brands have their issues but in the whole hitachi’s are minimal. I have used they’re 110v router the most and I’ve found that the tool has plenty of power, is easy to use and creates a good quality cut when paired with a good cutting bit.

I have used hitachi tools mainly for the last 15 years, sometimes they go wrong but the amount of work i do I'm going to have the odd tool fail on me, i have a 12inch chop saw £900 the only fault i have with it is that the blade guard sticks slightly, due to a build up of sawdust, could do with an accessable opening to the top of the blade cover.

I recently bought the hitachi/hikoki cordless grinder with a 5amp battery again the battery life on these batteries are rather good and last longer than I expected.

The grinder it’self is very easy to control and comes with a thick metal cutting disc, I’d never use something that thick in my line of work but it’s a nice added touch.

Asked on 5th February 2022 by Aitch

Have hitachi got any intention of bringing out a cordless random orbital sander?

This question does not have any answers, do you want to leave an answer?


Asked on 16th December 2019 by Payne Electrical Services

I have a circular saw and jig saw both the tools have broke and I have tried emailing the UK branch of Hitachi to see if I can get it repaired but have failed to hear from them.
