Yes it does. You can switch from clutch, drill, and hammer mode by turning the clutch dial. Yes, Lithium ion is better but you will have to pay more for that.

You forgot the main advantage of Li-ion: light weight. That's the first thing you'll notice when comparing two drills with these different technologies.
I've had both, but I'll not go back to...

I disagree. You can work 20% longer with less hand and arm fatigue with a lighter tool (that also provides more power throughout the charge cycle). That weigh reduction is very nice...

It's not really an issue in power tool applications - Li-ion is only around 20% lighter, a small percentage of the total weight of the tool.

Hitachi tools are great - but nicad is old school. Lithium is the way to go - alot lighter more power and lasts longer.

Not necessarily.
Ni-Cad costs less, lasts longer, is less heat-sensitive and dies gradually, so you have some indication when the battery is getting weak, before it dies.
Li-ion has greater...

Grade A is better than Grade C. Grade A is usually more expensive than Grade C but not in this case for some reason. It maybe a price mistake so get it before they catch it.
