Hitachi DB10DL 10.8-Volt Li-Ion Micro Driver Drill
This product meets my expectation. Can’t compare it to other products as this is my first power tool. Thought it had good reviews and bought it. Its not let me down till now. Will have a detailed review once i have used it for some more time.
To good to pass up at $99 with drill bit kit. I haven’t used this yet, but bought to match my Hitachi 18v Lithion impact wrench I use on my cars.
Expect to use this as my only drill around the house for projects. Replaces some Coleman 18v Drills I bought at Pep-Boys, which were too bulky/heavy. This unit is much nicer and easier to operate due to small size and light weight.
Comparable to the Bosch PS20, but can stand up on battery which is handy.
It’s small and light, the LED is right by the bit attachment and lights up well. Unit and movement feel very solid and much better quality than my $30 drill this replaced. Happy with purchase at initial “play time”; will update one I use this for real.
I bought 3 Crap-tachi drills that came with 6 batteries. After a year and a half 5 of the batteries have gone bad. You think you got this great warranty with it you don’t its a joke read the fine print, it only covers the drill it self, so what do you do with a drill with no batteries? I called the customer service line its even worst, The customer service agent told me I should have bough a Makita instead and I would have not had this problem. So I went down to there repair center and talked to the guy about it, he says the all this Hitachi stuff is junk, and they have nothing but problems with it. DON’T BUY THIS CRAP LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE I NOW HAVE 3 DRILLS 1 BATTERY AND OUT $ [...]
Although I have bought Hitachi tools in the past I have never bought their cordless products. I found the balance and compactness of the product impressive. The power for the product and torque was not. It should have been listed as pounds of torque which I would estimate to be less then 100. This is not enough to drive 3 inch screws.. Even 2 1/2 drywall screws were a problem..The battery does seem to hold a charge extremely well…But time will tell. I own a Makita 9 volt niCa also for 20 years.. It has twice the power and only 9 volts…the 10.8 li-ion is great for light to medium projects only! It also would be nice if the product description would say that it only takes 1/4 inch shanks and is not adjustable
A bit about myself: “do it yourselfer” w experience with 14.4 volt Makita drill/impact driver NiMh Kit.
I’ve started using the smaller Li-ion tools including this product, the Hitachi 10.8V impact driver as well as Makita 10.8V drill/impact driver combo for comparison.
The 10.8V tools are slower and have less power than their 14.4V counterparts. Having said that they obviously have the better form factor and still deliver very good power to weight/ergonomic ratio.
Hitachi has excellent ergonomics. Its a pleasure to use this drill/driver as the grip just fits nicely in my hand. The tool is well balanced. The power is more than adequate to drive in 2 or 3 inch deck screws. I see more and more drills coming out w more power to drive screws. Problem is that w more power the more likely you are to twist off the head and break the screw.
The thing that could be improved w this tool and a functionality that could be added in the future is a 2 stage drill/driver switch. 400 rev/min is good for fast/precise driving of screws but is not good for most drilling. I would like to have the same drill be able to handle both functions. The Makita 10.8V drill/driver does exactly this but lacks the excellent ergonomics that this tool has.
I still rate this product 5 stars but with the clause above.
