Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hitachi DB3DL 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Screwdriver
Customer Review: Interesting product but a problem for left handers
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this product for my wife, since it appears to provide a lot of flexibility in a small and light form factor. Thus my wife doesn't need my 18v DeWalt. When we opened it and looked at it, the tool is clearly a right handed tool, based on the position of the on switch. A left hander cannot manipulate it. I contact Hitachi and they said that's all they have. We did not use the tool so it might be good if you're right handed.Customer Review: It's a good tool.....but there are better choices
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a weekend warrior homeowner who was looking for a lighter weight cordless tool for light duty jobs around the house. I was tired of digging out my heavy duty Dewalt cordless hamerdrill/drill/driver for a small project. I was considering this Hitachi driver as well as the Bosch PS20. I couldn't decide.......so I bought them both. Amazon had a sale on the Hitachi and I got it for $50 so it was worth a try. I paid $105 for the Bosch.
What I like about the Hitachi is that it has suprisingly good power and the two speed gear range is great. What I don't like is that it does not have a variable speed trigger or an electric brake (it keeps rotating after letting go of the trigger). When driving small screws you have to rely on the clutch setting to keep from overdriving. I've stripped the wood in a couple cabinets as a result because I don't always set the clutch right. If these shortcomings don't affect what others intend to use this tool for then I have to say it is a great little tool....the quality and power is super.
I noticed today's pricing for this Hitachi is $78 bucks. With the Bosch PS20 at $105 I say its a no brainer, go with the Bosch. But if you are curious and catch the Hitachi on sale go for it, there's bound to be something you could use it for.
Customer Review: Kudos to Hitachi

I haven't had this tool very long but so far its GREAT. I've used a Milwaukee 2.5 volt tool very similar to this for years but it is almost a toy compared to the Hitachi DB3DL, its almost as though they reinvented the tool. In fact I like it so much I bought 2 more.Customer Review: Little Green Giant

This is a nifty screwdriver. Just right in the hand and plenty of power for tough screws and long work sessions. Two just-right speeds for screws and drills. Comes with only one quick-release P2 bit, so you will have to provide your own extras. I found that 4" driver bits are perfect for working on door knob sets. My heavy cordless drill is gathering dust.Customer Review: Love at first site
Summary: 3 Stars
When I first bought it I was thrilled,so much I bought 2 more.
I got them reconditioned for $50.00 which was a bargain.
It was the first driver I had with a LED which was very helpful.
I use it for work,removing screws in appliances.The high speed 600RPM is great and the Battery lasts a long time.
Eventually I was less impressed though.
Out of the 3 I bought,I had to fix 2 of them for pinched wires inside,and 2 of the 3 LED's stopped working.
