Is the Hitachi DB3DL2 the Best Cordless Screwdriver on the Market?

The Hitachi powertools DB3DL2 demonstrates that cordless screwdrivers are no longer considered the novelty toys that they were when upon their initial introduction into the tool market.  In the beginning, rechargeable cordless screwdrivers and pocket screwdrivers were offered as a cheap alternative to a regular screwdriver or a more substantial and powerful cordless drill, and their batteries would not last very long.  Inevitably, they would die and wind up in the junk drawer never to be used again.

When it comes to recharging, what used to take several hours is now down to only 30 minutes with the Hitachi DB3DL2, which uses a 3.6-volt lithium-ion battery that charges in only quickly and lasts a very long time: up to 6 hours in some cases. Most packages offered by Hitachi provide two batteries so that you can rotate the charging of these units. Because of the lower costs and reliability of the latest designs in cordless screwdrivers, they now occupy most shops and work benches. The DB3DL2 is a heavy hitter when it comes to features as well. It offers a right or left rotation that is activated by switches on the side. You can also adjust the torque with a switch that provides for a low gear setting.

As a light small and easy to maneuver tool, this Hitachi cordless screwdriver is quite versatile in low light conditions because it has an LED light at the tip helping to illuminate your work area.

If you prefer to use a cordless screwdriver in a straight configuration like a traditional screwdriver, that is no problem with the DB3DL2 because it has an adjustable handle. You can configure it for straight use or for a pistol grip use just like the Hitachi cordless drill.

With all of the practicality and innovations built into the newest addition of Hitachi cordless tools, you have every reason to own one of these tools as standard equipment in your toolbox. The days of an obsolete and non-functioning cordless screwdriver occupying your junk drawer are over.
