Hitachi W6VB3SD 2,600-RPM Collated Screw Driving System Get it now!


This bit and the Hitachi "superdriver" collated screwdriver system sucks.
I paid over $300.00 for the superdriver system so I could drive screws into cement underlayment board for ceramic tile, without being on my hands & knees. For an additional $ 150.00 I purchased 3,000 collated screws with the LOZ screw head, because they weren't supposed to strip, mis-feed, etc. "like the other brands".

The Hitachi superdriver LOX screws are only available via the internet, so you have to plan your job in advance
and buy more collated screws then you think you'll need. Cement board screws are $50.00 a thousand.

Long story short, the LOX bit fell apart after 2,000 screws.
About 200 screws mis-fed and fell out of the strip before they could be used, once the strip location is used, you can't reinsert the unused screw.
Another 100 or so screws didn't seat flush like they were supposed too. And needed to be driven flush with another sheetrock screw gun.
A second attempt to drive the screws flush using a stand square head bit, usually strips out the LOX head.
The LOX screws strip out four times as much as standard square head screws (I love standard square head drive screws)

A new bit is only available via the Internet, so I was stuck with an unfinished job and 900 screws I couldn't use.
I tried to purchase Senco phillips head screws to finish the job, since a phillips head bit is included with the gun. Senco has gone bankrupt, so their screws are no longer available.
I had to borrow a sheetrock screw gun, purchase individual screws and manually insert 600 screws one at a time to finish the job.

Documentation I've read while researching my purchase of this gun implys the extention can be removed, allowing the screwdriver gun to be used without the extention. The included and Hitachi website documentation is extremely POOR. It states areas should be lubed, but its up to the user to figure out where lube is needed.
No part numbers are shown for the bits (which break after 2,000 screws).
The bits themselves aren't shown anywhere in the documentation either.
None of the documentation shows the screwgun and the extention in a combined fashion.
Nor does it show how to disassamble/assamble the extention to the gun itself.

When it works properly (about 80% of the time), it's great, otherwise it sucks.
To say it's BADLY OVER PRICED is an under statement.

I'm only buying a replacemnt LOX bit so I can use the 900 or so screws I now have left over on some other future project.
I wouldn't buy it again.

Porter-Cable 9987 19.2-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Cordless Hammer Drill/Driver Kit Right now


We have been using these PC 19.2 hammer drills for building cisterns (big concrete boxes that catch & store rainwater) in Haiti for several years. We surely use them well beyond their intended capacity, we regularly drive 3/8" lag bolts & endless numbers of 3" wood screws. The drive in the drill holds up incredibly well, we get about 18 months out of a battery on average, I don't know how many discarges and recharges this is but we are well satisfied with the package. We try to be vigilant about completely discharging the battery before charging. We have a circular saw that uses the same power and it is very well built and very handy but it uses up a battery in short order. The chargers do charge in an hour and hold up well considering the power source we use fluctuates.

We have been very happy with the performance of this product and plan to continue to use them in the future.Get more detail about Porter-Cable 9987 19.2-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Cordless Hammer Drill/Driver Kit.

Cheapest Hitachi D10VG 9 Amp 3/8-Inch Drill


This is a great drill to have in your arsenal, especially when your cordless drill farts out on the job, and you don't want to pull out the big 1/2" hammer drill for light to medium duty drilling and driving tasks. I'd give it 5 stars, but the placement of the trigger lock is not well designed. I have inadvertantly engaged it a few times while in the middle of a drilling task and even while driving screws.Get more detail about Hitachi D10VG 9 Amp 3/8-Inch Drill.
