HiKOKI (Hitachi) Power Tools Garden & Power Tools
Never missed a beat – Great gun, I am a home handyman so it doesn't get thrashed as it would in site but have put a few thousand nails through it now from 90's to 50's and… Read more
always goes bang. It is also very light on the batteries which I find interesting as it must take a bit of energy to drive nails into wood. Great tool very happy.
Ideal in the garden – Does the job and not too expensive.... a great little widget.
Handyman must have – Good value product, battery lasts long enough to do decent days work.. design and feel of the saw fits well and is easy to use...not to heavy..
I am very happy with the Hikoki Table saw – I bought the saw for traditional woodworking. The saw was very easy to assemble and was accurate out of the box and the dust extraction sprays overy… Read more
out most particles except for very big slices. The fold out trolley is exceptionally well made and functional. I have a shop vac hooked up now and it works well.
This is a poor quality machine – I have had this machine for a couple of years & has not had much use & the motor has died & Hitachi (Hikoki) don't want to know about it. I will NEVER recommend any of their products again Show details
Great buy – The 18v grinder comes with a 18v/36v battery and a charger all ($179 delivered) for less than the price of a battery. The grinder has plenty of… Read more
grunt for cutting (haven't used it for grinding or sanding). Being a brushed motor it's a fair bit noisier than the 36v brushless I already owned. Because the battery is both 18v and 36v I can use it with all my other Hikoki cordless tools.
Awesome piece of equipment ! – This has to be one of the best tools I have ever purchased, it wasn't cheap but has paid for itself over and over. Being a owner driver of big… Read more
trucks, this has cut the time to do brake relines in half, it will undo tightened truck wheel nuts like they are loose, will tighten gearbox and differential yoke nuts easily.
Being electric you dont need to rely on a compressor. Saves heaps of time, quality Hitatchi product, Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.
Just received brand new 2026 Hikoki Gen2 Finshing gun 15gauge 34° And compared straight away with my old Hitachi Gen1 Finishing Gun 15gauge 34° i… Read more
brought new back in 2018 (which only this year started to No longer sink the nails all the way home (50 & 65mm) still sinks 32mm.
Wow huge difference just pulling it out the box. 1) its wayyy lighter (so my mind thought_oh no_will this sink nails..? ☆Answered with a big Yes •it sinked 50mm & i had to adjust to the lowest setting (my old Hitachi does not any more :( •tryed 65mm nails_still had to go to the lowest setting, sinked the nails with ease in both single fire & bump/rapid fire (old Hitachi left them ½ way home :( (See my short video) •then tryed 32mm_Lol_definetly on the lowest setting & bump fire (only nail my old Hitachi will sink home now :)
Oh the other thing (except for lighter weight) ☆Instantly while firing both guns @ the same time in both my hands_i could feel the strong & immediate thumping power wayyyy over my old Hitachi finish gun_it blew me away how much more powerful this gun is. ☆Next positive i noticed striaght away was how much more user friendly this gen2 gun is_the power button is wayyyy more visable & easier to reach than my old Gen1 gun & as well as the single fire or bump fire button •Last of all, i placed both guns next to each other to stand up on their own_& the new Gen 2 sat upright with no assitance & balanced all on its own_when i let go of my old Gen1 Hitachi_it just fell over :( •ooow..ow yer... The handle, its slightly easier to grab & hold onto, its a little thinner than my old Gen1 handle & it felt good & secure in my hand.
Both still have the same lights & same "No-tool" required to empty any jams. •oh yer..the head on the Gen2 Hikoki is smaller in size to_meaning it will fit in tighter places •And the firing head is easier to see_before U nail that suck#r. •the hook for your belt fits nicely into my "shorts pocket" & flows without snags when pulling out (yep i try not to wear a tool belt as much as i can get away with it) ☆oohhrr yer..The New gen2 multi volt battery (it came wif) its got like a rubber-ish bottom, which was an instant touch_notice thing_it "grips" in my hand _like wayyy better than all my 18 volts & 36 multi volts - especially when i'm always in a hurry to pack-up @ knock-off time (when the slippery suck#rs almost fly outta my hands) These New multi volts were so rubbery on the bottoms, i was playing with them after a charge (old & new together) the old were easily sliding around on my table, but the new with the same force just sat there & would not budge ( i said_with the same force_yer).
Hope this helps your decision making. ▪︎As for how long this Gen2 will last_i hope as long as my gen1 did i purchased back in 2018
Cheers little ears James. JAMES BUILT®️
Charger failure – I have always been a fan of Hitachi/Kiloki tools despite their lack of range. However, I have had 3 of their uc18ysl3 chargers fail for no apparent reason. The problem seems to be ongoing.
