Metabo HPT DB3DL2 3.6V Cordless Screwdriver Kit, 2 Lithium Ion Batteries, Dual Position Handle, LED Light, 21 Clutch Settings, Forward/Reverse, Lifetime Tool Warranty

Great product

Long time user of this model, used it when it was Hitachi printed. Top-quality, no problems for years of use, fast charging, very resistant battery and easy to get the same model. However, you should consider before buying, the charger is a 110V only US/JP plug, so if you need to use it in a 220V mains environment, you need to match it with a 220V-110V transformer.

This tool is an electrical screwdriver with adjustable torque settings, designed to be used on small electrical appliances, audio & video equipement, alarm system installation, RC cars repairs, and other such light work activities, not at all designed to put up dry walls or assemble outdoor patios and spas (there are other heavier power tools for that). It is of an excellent rugged build quality and very affordable when compared to similar products of other well-known brands. Metabo (Htachi), while being possibly less known than other brands, is a long time power tool manufacturer comparable to Makita, Skills, Milwaukee and other big names. 2 year warranty, including local support, 2 batteries, charger, carrying case, quick-release socket tip, front on-off LED, lightweight (relatively speaking, as it weights about a pound), angled or straight handling, and two speeds (I'm always on the low). I have one at home to work on my RC cars, and one at work for electronic/mechanic assembly work. If you think that it will fit your needs, then buy it, you will absolutely love it! FYI, I also own a small and very quiet oil-less compressor from Metabo, and it too is very well built and well priced (and fully serviceable). July 2021 UPDATE - after several months of usage: still loving it as much as the first day, and enjoying it every single time I use it! ! : ) 100% recommended!

Amazing tool

Surprisingly good for the price. I was so disappointed when my DeWalt DCF680 that i have been using for auto repair for the last 7 years, finally bit the dust, and found that they no longer even make a good screwdriver. The replacement DeWalt unit is a subpar, usb c charging, brand new has-been without a replaceable battery. This unit however is two speed, has plenty of power compared to the old DeWalts, and is actually a little bit slimmer. Ergonomically speaking, i think my DeWalt DCF680 was a little bit better, but it doesn't really bother me that much. This item is definitely longer than the DeWalt, but like all cordless screwdrivers (except for the new DeWalt) you can fold it for more clearance. The only thing i find lacking compared to the DCF680 is the folding mechanism. The old DeWalts have a rotating handle, this is difficult to describe in words, needless to say, it was basically impossible to fold over the DeWalt handle by accident. If you had it straight, it was staying straight, if you folded it, it was staying folded. I don't know if DeWalt patented this, or if I'm the only person that likes it, or what, because their new screwdrivers don't have it at all. The only issue i can find with this item is the light. It is not bright enough, it's poorly located, does not automatically activate when your using the screwdriver, and has a tiny little button to turn it on and off. In my opinion, Hitachi could have had an even better product, had they just eliminated the light all together. Overall this is a very, VERY good product, in a market filed with usb c charging garbage, that's only real propose in life is some kind of low stakes electronics repair, or taking apart a rumba just to see what's inside. This screwdriver is actually usable in a professional sense, and it seems to be the last option left on Amazon. I am seriously considering buying a second one while they are still available.

This is a top piece of kit, easily as good as any other industrial grade screw driver (Matabo used to be Hitachi/HiKoki), it fits any 1/4" bit, is ergonomic, and seeing as a correct charger can be obtained from another source "rhymes with OldBay" for about £15? You still get one of the best makes for under a ton. Bargain by my calculations.
