Just saw a video of the new Hitachi triple head impact, first impression,
Pretty powerful
Compact 3ah battery packs,
Nice case, and a great charger that can also charge with the USB port.September 28, 2016 at 6:36 am #574419Agreed, very impressive features and a nice storage box, too.
BE the change you want to see.
Even if you can’t Be The Pro… Be The Poster you’d want to read.September 28, 2016 at 7:47 am #574440Nice to see something new from hitachi, hopefully this one does well for them.
September 28, 2016 at 8:39 am #574446Nice to see a new innovation, I wonder if they will incorporate this stuff into their metabo impacts as well.
September 28, 2016 at 10:18 am #574478sweet impactor, i haven’t had the opportunity to play with any of them. None of the people I know run hitachi impactors. It’s always milwaukee and bosch and makita.
September 28, 2016 at 11:42 am #574529This was like 10 years ago when they came out with their first li ion imppactor but I used a Hitachi foe a bit and it heated up so much you couldn’t even touch it
September 28, 2016 at 1:30 pm #574548Finally a LED that can be turned on indefinitely! Bosch are you watching?

ProI like the feature of shutting off the led light . Plus the setting for different speeds to drill
Into .Always willing to learn .
September 28, 2016 at 3:12 pm #574576Wow, I think having four different settings on power delivery is a really great feature. And those 3.0 Ah batteries look really compact! I also like the storage in the carrying case – just adds to its versatility and makes it less likely someone buying this would want to just toss the case. All in all, it sounds like a great tool.

I really like the little touch on their charger by adding the USB port.
September 28, 2016 at 5:40 pm #574632Wow that is a really compact size. Very short looks to be able to fit in some tight places.

I have had some work colleges who have had the first generation Hitachi lithium cordless, I was never really impressed,
But just looking at the extra features on this one, looks like they have been listening to what people have been asking for
Compact 3ah battery packs, very decent charger, with USB port, and a case with a built-in storage for hardware.
And the fact that it’s water resistant.

ProI wonder if this has anything to do with the Hitachi acquisition of Matabo. Nice to see them both stepping up their game.

That would make sense. Will be good to see Hitachi step up there cordless lineup.
Just hope it doesn’t bring Matabo down.Ron

If they put metabo motors in hitachi it will be a game changer for them
In the market place .Always willing to learn .

I hope so too. Metabo makes such a great tool very high quality. The landscape is littered with companies that bought high quality tool manufactures then cheapened the tool while capitalizing on the name and reputation, they squeeze all they can out of it and then dump it.
