Well worth the cost if you've already got the drill as the... batteries are interchangeable. Other 18v Hitachi tools also take these batteries too. Have to admit I treated myself to the drill with 2.5 amp hr batteries as a Xmas gift as I'm building a timber framed garage. Since getting the Impact Driver I haven't really used the drill as this thing copes with any screw I've used. Battery life seems pretty good too and with 2 batteries you can have a drill and Impact Driver if you need to drill some pilot holes. I would imagine a professional would require a 5 amp hr battery to reduce having to change as often, but with the smaller battery it's much lighter and I haven't had a problem. I'd prefer something less powerful for any screws under 50mm as this thing drives 100mm x 12 without a pilot hole and its fast too. Well worth the money especially if you like the cool Alien looks

Bought one last year to go with drill I’d alread...y got with same battery. Hardly use drill anymore as this is lighter and drives screws in real quick. Only shame is there’s no adjustment to power so not so good on small stuff, but great for general building and roofing work. Bought this one for my mate as he was impressed with mine

Bought this as already have a Hitachi d...rill so already had the batteries and charger. So far the imapct driver has lived up to expectations, no effort to drive 4" screws in much faster and easier than using a drill.

Hitachi impact driver work well and seems to be reliable. It fits... with the kit I have so is the only choice really. All good although I think the newer brushless items seem to be better.
