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.Agreed, 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.Nice to see a new innovation, I wonder if they will incorporate this stuff into their metabo impacts as well.
sweet 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.
This 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
I like the feature of shutting off the led light . Plus the setting for different speeds to drill
Into .Always willing to learn .
Wow, 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.
Wow that is a really compact size. Very short looks to be able to fit in some tight places.

Fayetteville, NCAnother feature I thought was cool, is that if it gets wet, it’s not going to affect the tool, that’s neat if you’re working on a deck, and you get a down pour.
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.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the Hitachi acquisition of Matabo. Nice to see them both stepping up their game.

Wow, pretty impressive list and line up, they look like they are heavy duty, the jobsite light looks huge

If they put metabo motors in hitachi it will be a game changer for them
In the market place .Always willing to learn .
Just hope it doesn’t bring Matabo down.
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.
