I think so, their name is on a lot of construction equipment.

  They also have the Hitachi Magic Wand vibrator, which is commonly known as just Hitachi. The brand was also known for power tools but that's not a part of the company anymore and is being rebranded to Metabo.

    No - I'm afraid you are mistaken: what Hitachi sold was a "massager" - they were "distraught" to discover it's salacious "alternative" uses as it harmed their brand. Hitachi only agreed to continue selling the product as a joint venture (IIRC) if they removed the Hitachi name from it. So it's rebranded as just the "Original Magic Wand" now - no Hitachi :)

    Quick tip: You can find a lot of places selling really solid new power tools at 50-75% off because of the name change. They will usually be sold now as "HPT", Hitachi Power Tools and they have to move the stock before they can sell the newly rebranded tools thus the discount.

  They used to make good TV's in the 90s too. First color TV in our house was Hitachi.
