This drill is very user friendly. It is substantially smaller and lighter than
my current cordless drill. It came with
two lithium batteries and a charger with a nice carrying case for less than
$100.00. That is a pretty good
value. The lightness of the drill
enables you to use the handy hook that accompanies it to hang it on your belt
without danger of the infamous plumber's butt. (no offense to any of you
plumbers, it is merely part of the tool belt culture's humor.) 
A nice set of assorted screw driver bits
accompanies the drill. There may be a
difference in performance between the 12 volts of this unit and the 18 volts of
my older drill particularly when comparing lithium to lithium. The old ni-cad 18 volt battery was easily
twice the weight of the new 18 volt lithium.
With that said, the 12 volt Hitachi is still much lighter and easier on
the wrist and shoulder, particularly on overhead work, than the older 18 volt unit. More power is frequently needed but for
general purposes, this
