Measuring six inches long and weighing just 1.8 pounds, the DB10DL Micro Driver Drill is small enough to fit in tight spaces. It easily fits in any tool belt, and its lightweight design promotes easy one-handed operation and minimal fatigue on all-day jobs. The optimized handle with Elastomer wrap provides additional comfort and a secure grip.
Powerful Enough to Tackle a Wide Range of Applications
Though small, the DB10DL is able to generate enough power to handle a wide range of applications. The DB10DL's powerful motor boasts a maximum of 88 in./lbs. of torque, so it will make easy work of most light-duty jobs, such as cabinetry work, drilling and fastening.
The variable-speed trigger allows for precise control over the speed of the drill--between 0 and 400 RPM--and the best-in-class 21+1 stage clutch lets you dial in the perfect amount of torque for the job.
Specially Designed Chuck for Ease of Use
For ease of use, the DB10DL features an LED ring that surrounds the 1/4-inch quick-change chuck and illuminates the work surface, making it easy to use the drill driver in darker work areas. The chuck requires no tools for bit changes--simply pull out, insert the bit, and release the chuck.
HXP Batteries Last Three Times Longer and Weigh 50% Less
The DB10DL owes its light weight to two HXP Lithium-Ion batteries (included). 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. Where NiCd and NiMH batteries could be used for up to 500 charge cycles, HXP Lithium-Ion batteries can be used for up to 1,500 charge cycles! An added bonus, the included quick charger replenishes the battery power in just 40 minutes, so you have less down time.
HXP Lithium-Ion batteries operate within optimal voltage limits, protecting both the tool and batteries from damage. Protection circuitry built into the batteries and charger monitors the charge and discharge for each battery cell, resulting in peak operating performance.
And if a surge in power is detected during use, Hitachi's Over-Current Protection technology will temporarily shut of the power to protect the batteries and tool from being damaged. This feature allows the power to return to optimal voltage, thereby extending battery and tool life beyond any competitive lithium-ion products.
HXP batteries come with a two-year HXP Lithium-Ion Battery Warranty, which protects against possible defects in materials and workmanship.
The Industry's Longest Lithium-Ion Tool Warranty
Every Hitachi cordless power tool is designed to the highest standards and is rigorously tested for both performance and durability. All HXP Lithium-Ion cordless tools come with a Lifetime Lithium-Ion Tool Warranty, which protects against possible defects in materials and workmanship.

This review is from: Hitachi DB10DL 10.8-Volt Lithium-Ion Micro Driver Drill (Tools & Home Improvement) I purchased this item, after going to the "Orange" and "Blue" brick and mortar stores, looking to replace my aging Panasonic 9.6V impact driver. I looked at all the other Lithium-Ion based ones in the same voltage class, disliking the Bosch and Milwaukee due to grip size (width), the Skill for lack of an extra battery, the new 12V Ryobi (no clutch), and wasn't going to wait for the upcoming Makita. One other factor I looked at in buying a new drill/driver, was the other tools available/upcoming and a heavy sway for me was their new Saw based on the 10.8V system. It doesn't sound like much, but my job as a computer tech/network engineer, I only need a lighter duty reciprocating saw to cut holes in floor tiles and to cut down telco racks.
So far it has been quite useful in reconfiguring server cabinets, putting a car stereo in my Jeep, and for drilling 1/2" lag bolt holes in some stairs. It isn't a power house, but wasn't purchased to be one. I was actually surprised...Read more 26 of 30 people found the following review helpful:  A good little driver, but not necessarily a drill, By This review is from: Hitachi DB10DL 10.8-Volt Lithium-Ion Micro Driver Drill (Tools & Home Improvement) I bought this because I like the lithium battery technology which affords a lot of power, long battery life, and good value for a very compact unit. Do not purchase this, however, if you are expecting a normal cordless drill because this unit does not have a Jacobs type chuck for inserting drill bits. As long as you plan to use it with typical driver bits, you will like it. If you are planning on using it as a normal drill with normal drill bits, you won't! 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: Nice, but needs a two speed gear box., By PDC (Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Hitachi DB10DL 10.8-Volt Lithium-Ion Micro Driver Drill (Tools & Home Improvement) I've used my Makita impact driver to drill holes in places I couldn't fit a regular drill simply by using hex drill bits. So people complaining that this isn't a "drill" aren't improvising. The trouble with the Hitachi is that it tops out at 400rpm. The new Makita 10.8v version has a two speed gear box that tops out at over 1000rpm;sufficient for drilling. The 400rpm Hitachi is annoyingly slow at drilling. The nice thing about this Hitachi vs the others is that the grip is smaller. Nice for wives, which is who I bought this for. |
