Amazon.com Product Description
The DB3DL 3.6-Volt cordless screwdriver is ideal for tightening and loosening fasteners in odd or tight spaces. Designed to be both rugged and versatile, this flexible power tool is packed with convenience features that will make it the most-used gadget in your tool box.
Even though this cordless screwdriver weighs less than one pound, it’s powerful — thanks to its removable 1.5 Ah HXP lithium ion battery. Most cordless screwdrivers contain internal power supplies, so the entire unit must be plugged in for recharging; but this model will never leave you waiting when there’s work to be done.
Hitachi’s cordless screwdriver is conveniently light and compact for small jobs around the house. View larger. |
Universal charger charges 7.2 volt to 18 volt Hitachi Lithium-Ion batteries as well as NiCd and NiMH batteries of same voltage. |
Integrated amber LED job light illuminates the work surface for better visibility in dark spaces. |
All HXP batteries come equipped with internal circuitry to detect current interruption, a thermal protector, and an electronic switch that protects the battery from overcharge or discharge. Best of all, you can recharge them approximately 1300 – 1500 times, compared to an average of 500 charges for a NiCd or NiMH battery.
This small driver is perfect for addressing all kinds of tricky situations around the house. It pivots a full 90 degrees and produces a hearty 44 in./lb. of turning torque to drill or remove stubborn screws around corners, beneath high ledges, or in narrow places where there isn’t any room to maneuver. Under tough circumstances like these, the textured elastomer grip helps you stay fully in control; and beneath the chuck, the screwdriver’s integrated amber LED illuminates dark corners to make the task that much easier.
Loaded with convenience extras, this multi-purpose cordless machine offers two-speed control for no-load operation at 200 or 600 RPM, 30-minute battery charge time, 1/4-inch keyless chuck for easy bit or accessory changes, and a locking spindle for manual adjustments.
The DB3DL is covered by Hitachi’s industry leading 5-year warranty. Batteries are warranted to the original purchaser for a period of ninety (90) days from the original purchase date.

I just bought this cordless screwdriver and it is great. Very light but perfect for mounting equipment in racks, installing switch plates, putting on electrical connectors and a bunch of other uses. Seems to have plenty of torque for light duty applications. Highly recommended!
I am a self employed Master Electrician and I use this tool all day long. It gets droped, stuff thrown on it in the truck. It keeps on working and working. Great tork long lasting charges. The fact that you can change your batteries is a dream. I recommend this tool highly. It is my favorite tool in my tool pouch. Buy one.
I can drive a two inch drywall screw into a 2X4 with this.. It’s Great
I bought this becasue I got tired of carrying my Dewalt 7.2V screwdriver around all day and I didn’t need all the tork all the time so I wanted something lighter for smaller jobs. I thought Lithium Ion an 2 batteres for under $100 how could I go wrong. So far I am disappointed overall for what I wanted to use it for which is small screwes and electricial stuff. My fathor which is an electrition grabs his old dewalt at the job also instead of this he said it doesn’t have enought tork. THe deal killer for me is that it is not varable speed. When starting in screw I start slow then let them zip at full speed. Since this is one speed it takes me 3 times as long to drive a screw which adds up by the end of the day. Also the design is nice but I think a small non hindging design like the Bosh or at least a locking hinge like the dewalt is better, several times I found the thing hidnging when I didn’t want it to. Over all for the price I like it but could be better I think I am going to leave this home from now on.
Good
- Battries last forever and are light
- LED is awesome (just wish it was white though, orange is a littel hard to see black screws under)
- Good ergomomic design, but does hinge now and then when you don’t want it to
- 2 speed
Bad
- Whish it was smaller
- On Off trigger not variable speed
- To go from fast to slow you need to switch a switch
- Chuck is kind of sloppy holding bits
- No place to hold a spair bit or another format bit, I alwas seem to have the wrong bit in it and have to dig around to swap it.
We are using a lot of those around my office and everyone loves them. Note that the finish is not very durable so the paint job will wear off soon but that does not affect functionality in any way.
