Superior Power-to-Weight Ratio
Offering 44 in/lbs of torque in a body that weighs less than one pound, the DB3DL has a better power-to-weight ratio than the competition. And with a two-speed transmission that offers maximum no-load speeds of either 200 or 600 RPM, this screwdriver fastens and pre-drills wood, mild steel, aluminum, and more.Additionally, the DB3DL's 21-stage clutch provides both high torque and precision driving. A reversing trigger switch lets you quickly choose from 0-600 RPM for the job at hand. Chock-Full of User-Friendly Features
In addition to its powerful motor, the DB3DL has a host of features that help you get the job done with comfort and convenience. To start, this screwdriver features a non-slip elastomer-grip handle that makes long jobs more comfortable. The handle is adjustable to two positions, allowing for a choice of straight-grip or pistol-grip operation. For added convenience, the DB3DL includes a 1/4-inch quick-change hex chuck with bit lock for fast and easy bit changes. An added bonus, an integrated LED work light helps illuminate dark work areas. Designed to reach places that other cordless screwdrivers just can't, the Hitachi DB3DL is compact and lightweight, measuring 9.75 inches and weighing just 0.9 pounds. HXP Lithium-Ion Batteries Last 3X Longer and Weigh 50% Less
The DB3DL owes its light weight to two HXP Lithium-Ion batteries. These 1.5-Ah batteries weigh half of what traditional NiCd or NiMH batteries weigh--in fact, tools featuring HXP batteries are on average one pound lighter than tools using traditional batteries. Additionally, HXP batteries last three times longer than their competition--these batteries will last approximately 500 charges before needing to be replaced! Overall, less frequent battery charges and longer battery life mean reduced operation costs for you. The DB3DL's charger will power the tool's batteries in just 30 minutes and features a built-in Cool Air Flow system to maintain optimal charging temperature. Every Hitachi cordless power tool is designed to the highest standards and rigorously tested for both performance and durability. Like all HXP Lithium-Ion cordless tools, the DB3DL comes with a 10-year Lithium-Ion Tool Warranty, which protects against possible defects in materials and workmanship. Also, the tool's batteries come with a two-year warranty and the charger comes with a one-year warranty. What's in the Box
DB3DL Cordless Driver Drill, (2) 3.6V HXP 1.5Ah Lithium Ion Batteries (326263), charger (UC3SFL), case (326346).

 Small & Powerful November 16, 2009
Tom K (Bullhead City, AZ USA)
I had been looking for a replacement for my old Craftsman electric screwdriver that was a workhorse on dozens of projects through the years. I saw this Hitachi in the stores but it was at that time over priced but then the pice came down. I was pulled to it due to it's slim profile and the major advantage of being Li-Ion. This little guy is exactly what the doctor ordered for a compact workhorse doing small jobs around the house! I have my own business and it works execellent for all those misc things that have to be fixed, fastned, or drilled. I only wish it had a wall mount/charger to make easier to grab, going into a case can be cumbersome when you want to grab it and fix something quick. I highly recommend this cordless driver.
Great little tool August 18, 2009
A. Griffin (Texas)
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.

Ted D. Shore (Ashland, MA USA)
I'm very happy with this item. it performs as expected and more so. I expect many years of reliable service from this product. The Li-ion batteries are the key and replacement batteries are very reasonable.
 Perfect tool for small jobs June 28, 2009

I bought this driver because I got tired of hauling out the much larger one just to change a few screws (or whatever). It's a lot more convenient in areas where the larger driver wouldn't fit easily. The torque control helps me avoid stripping screw heads when a screw sticks in a tight space. The ergonomics feel good so far--having an articulated handle makes this driver a lot easier to use than a regular screwdriver. I haven't owned it long enough to fully test the lithium ion batteries, but I'm assuming they will be a better alternative than nickel cadmium.
Works great June 27, 2009

This tool works perfect for my use. It replaced a NicD one I bought from Home Depot. Sure it was only $15 on sale but I had to charge the batteries in a short time. This tool also has the lock chuck that I find as a great help. Nothing worse than dropping a bit in a computer. I like that I have an off/on switch for the light. My Ryobi impact driver turns the light on once the tool is turning? The batteries charge quickly and last long enough for me. An important feature for me is being able to straighten it out. Many times I need to reach between some shelves or brackets and can not reach the fasteners properly with a pistol grip only machine.
