In 1980 Hitachi Power Tool U.S.A. was created to market their line of tools in the United States.

They quickly made a name for themselves during the 80's by building on their pneumatic framing nailer and sliding compound miter saw successes.

Why Hitachi Tools?

Like so many of the other great names in the power tool industry Hitachi has designed and built a long line of innovative and cutting edge power tools.

Some quick hits are listed below to give you an idea of what this tool company has done and continues to do year in and year out in the world of power tools.

• Dedicates over 8% of revenues towards the research and development of innovative power tools
• Their patented and innovative IDI (Internal Double Insulation) technology dramatically increases tool life
• Other patented features like an adjustable belt hook with integrated LED light and an elastomer grip are incorporated on the cordless drills and impact wrenches
• A line of Lithium Ion cordless tools are built with a wide range of voltage options from 3.6V all the way up to 25.2V and several voltages in between
• And a long line of satisfied customers, which in the end is the most important aspect of any power tool

Most (and occasionally "most" includes us) are not aware that Hitachi pioneered several tools and tool features that have become the standard in the power tool industry.

These firsts include:

• Sliding Compound Miter Saw
