Hitachi D10YB Right Angle Drill Review
A right angle drill such as the Hitachi D10YB should be part of every home handyman's tool collection.
Key Features:
- Electronic speed control
- Reversible
- 3/8" Chuck
- Capacity Wood - 7/8"
- Capacity Steel - 3/8"
- Weight - 3.3 Lbs.
- No load speed: 500-2300 RPM
The Hitachi D10YB drill comes with a 3/8" chuck, key, and a removable right or left hand support handle. RPM is adjustable from 500 - 2300 RPM. Brush access is quick and easy should you need to replace them.
A right angle drill is the correct tool for limited-space drilling situations where a standard pistol grip drill is too big (long). Also, the low-height of the drill and the support handle allow you to use the drill for power wire brushing, as well as light-duty grinding or polishing.
Amazon.com is a great place to compare right angle drill features and prices. I found the price for the Hitachi D10YB was better at Amazon than at the local box stores, and free shipping was a bonus.
Since receiving my Hitachi D10YB drill from Amazon, I've used it for drilling, glass polishing, and wire brushing rust from my car. The drill has plenty of power, and never got overly hot even after 4 hours of continous use. It has a quality feel, is lightweight, and easy to control. Changing drill RPM is simple as well, just adjust the dial at the back of the drill.
Whether you use your Hitachi D10YB right angle drill as a specialty drill, or as a multi-purpose drill, polisher, grinder, etc. as I do, I'm sure you'll find that it's a key addition to your tool box.
