We've been telling readers for years about the amazing value offered by Hitachi's 9.6 volt FDS10DVAL drill/driver kit. Now we can add a new amazing value in the 12-volt category from the same company. Hitachi's new FDS12DVA is one of the lowest priced 12-volt cordless drills out there, and it's got features all over the place -- not to mention the really good flashlight that's included. This isn't the most powerful drill on the market, though the 191 inch-pounds of torque is respectable for most shop applications, and the battery is only a 1.4 amp-hour, which is nearly the lowest amp-hour rating in the category. But priced at $110, this is a very capable drill/driver offering an electronic brake, a variable two-speed motor, keyless chuck and 22 clutch settings. Throw in two batteries, the flashlight, a nice set of screw tips and magnetic holder and this is a real bargain. The ergonomics on the drill are quite good with a well-balanced, center-handle design and one of the lowest weights in this category. The handle is slim enough to get a good grip, and the switches are easy to operate and conveniently located. This is a great gift for yourself or someone you care about (but don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on).
