Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hitachi DB3DL 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Screwdriver
Customer Review: Great little driver
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been very impressed with this little guy. The batteries last quite a while between charges & on the low speed setting it can drive self-tapping 2.5" deck screws to the hilt without a pilot hole.
I've also used the new Makita 9.something volt stick impact driver & there's no comparison- the Hitachi is vastly superior & cheaper. I was expecting the Makita to drive almost as well as a full size drill but it just doesn't have the torque, has only one speed- REALLYFREAKINFAST & no clutch setting options. I also ran a 1989-ish Milwaukee driver & it was able to out-drive the Makita- both had new, freshly charged batteries.
I haven't found much use for the fast speed on the Hitachi as it can over drive a screw pretty quickly & doesn't have much torque. The clutch adjustments are very close to each other so you have to make a big change if you want to drive a screw deeper, but it's hard to over-drive if you take it easy on the adjustments.
The more I use this tool the more often I reach for it. I originally purchased it to use in tight spaces, but I find myself using it for heavier duty projects because it's easy to stick in a pocket & have handy.
My only complaint is that the light doesn't do much good- it's at a poor angle, is an orange color & isn't very bright.
Customer Review: Great little driver!

I bought this small hand held screwdriver for both home and work.I've used it several times and it's a very good product. Lots of torque for a small hand held 3+ volt device. One small complaint, I don't like the orange LED work-lite that's built-in. A white LED would be better in my opinion. Also it could be positioned differently in order to see the bit better. Nothing major, and I would recommend this to a friend, and I would buy one again.Customer Review: Great little screwdriver

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!Customer Review: Great little tool
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned and used this little tool for several years now and if it fell apart today I would buy another one. It is so light, dependable, tough and easy to carry. I would recommend this Hitachi Screwdriver to everyone. I have dropped it from second story buildings, used it to hammer in drywall anchors, drill masonry holes in brick and it just keeps on going. Also my little 2 year old boy uses it to play with and if he can't tear it up it must be good.Customer Review: Great little tool! Well built, comfy, light, powerful
Summary: 5 Stars
Similar to the panasonic/milwaukee 3.6v driver but better. It is a little bigger but not much, grips better due to the nice rubber nubs in the grip, has an LED that can be turned on or off, and a nice size forward and reverse thumb switch. It has a quick release chuck that holds the bit unlike the others I mentioned, so your bits don't fall out. I own the milwaukee also, so I know of which I speak. Full range clutch that can even do light drilling. Comes with a nice charger and TWO batteries. Again, beats the others in overall value and features. Well built and ergonomically excellent. Also comes with a nice little case, again the others don't. Great deal on a great tool. You'll find yourself using this on every project that requires screws, nut drivers or small drill bits.
