DB3DL, 3.6V, 1.5AH Lithium-Ion Batteries, Screwdriver, Allows For Longer Run Time & An Increase In Battery Life Cycles, Powerful & Leightweight, 44 INLBS Of Torque & Weighs Less Than 1 LB, Quick Charger, Charges 3.6V 1.5AH Batteries In Only 30 Minutes, Spindle Lock, Allows For Manual Screw Tightening/Loosening, Integrated LED Light, Integrated Light To Illuminate The Work Surface.
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.

Well built, economical, stylish, but don't drop it.:
We use these in our avionics shop for opening the black boxes (as screwdrivers). I'm bringing them in as I fade out the older Panasonic 2.4v and 3.6v Ni-Cads. We do not use them as drills and I don't know as I'd suggest that. The speed is NOT variable and I prefer my drill speed to change as I squeeze the trigger. Performance has been good. We are pleased at the speed as well as thte stylish features. Some have taken out the LED spotlight and put in UV LEDs (so they can use them to check the... more info
Hitachi products -better and better all the time:
Again, here we go. Hitachi is really building a strong reputation for quality and practical products. My friend who is a home builder recommended this little tool to me. I looked at the one he had and it looked really abused. He said, "this little thing is so tough and practical... and it keeps on working... I love it!" So, with this recommendation - and the need for another practical toy - I mean tool, I bought it and fully agree with my friend. It is incredible, and if in the need for a powerful... more info
dont eat it:
Exploded in the blender. If you want an electric screwdriver smoothie, use a Ni-Cad model.
Great little driver:
Nice little power driver. Good batt life, charges quickly. I've owned a Milwakee, and a Panisonic type like this one. This is by far the best one I used to date. Those two are older technology, batt don't last as long, they go bad after a few months. I work as a field tech, and I use them every day. The Hitachi has really good power for a small driver, a locking chuck to hold the bits, and a LED light at the tip. I saw it at a local store for $95, and almost bought it. When I checked online later, I found... more info
