Hitachi Tools
Hitachi Power Tools U.S.A. was established in 1980 to sell a line of durable power tools. The most successful products in the early days were the pneumatic framing nail devices and the sliding compound miter saw. The sales of these two tools earned an excellent and reputable foundation for Hitachi power tools. Since then, much time and money has been spent to research and develop outstanding, creative and useful power tools.
Hitachi, as a result of these efforts, produced the innovative Sliding Compound Miter Saw and the Cordless Impact Driver. Also developed were the Collated Automatic Screw Driver, Cordless Screw Driver, Metal Stud cutters and many other valuable products. Of particular note are the 10 minute rapid charge, and other types of batteries. Hitachi leads the whole world in metal casting technology, metal-related science, and plastics.
Perhaps the best part of the whole company is its reputation as a leader in customer service. If an inquiry is received about a product, a great deal of knowledge, effort and skill is devoted to answering the question. If a problem exists, all resources will help to find a solution. The customer service department at Hitachi claims to provide information of tools, accessories and parts.

Some of the new available products are tools that help with masonry work, metalworking and woodworking. There are new saws, drill, fasteners, and pneumatics. With new tools like these, and many others, the company reaches into the future to develop new technologies for today. One patented technology is called Internal Double Insulation. It is responsible for increases the life of tools. This is an example of how Hitachi keeps working to be the best in the business.
