Metabo HPT3.6V Lithium Ion Cordless Screwdriver Kit, Compact and Lightweight Power Screwdriver with 2 x 1.5Ah Batteries and Quick Charger, 21 + 1 Clutch Settings and Built-In LED Light, DB3DL2

This is my 3rd Hitachi / Metabo drill screwdriver. Got my 1st one (a Hitachi) as a gift from my kids about 20 years ago and thought: "That's pretty lazy if you need to use an electric screwdriver!" But after a few uses, that's pretty much all I use! Fits in my carpenter jean rule pocket, a set of bits and sockets and I'm ready for almost anything! No, it doesnt have the torque to drive in deck screws (yes, it'll remove them but wont drive them into virgin wood- unless you pre-drill a pilot hole)I pretty much wore out my first Hitachi. It still works ok but pretty beat up! LED doesnt work (the switch) but it keeps torquing away perfectly! Sometimes it bites my hand when it goes from straight to pistol grip but it keeps chugging along! Finally decided to get another one and retire this Hitachi!Well... Hitachi sold and changed names to Metabo! Same product- kinda snazzed up but definately cheaper plastic! Thinner, motor is somewhat slower and less torque than the Hitachi- but basically works just the same! Great unit! Out of all the electric screwdrives I checked out, thios one it tops. ALL the batteries are the same 3.6v - plenty adequate. I did replace the charger unit with a smaller one and relegated the original Hitachi driver to my 'go-box' tool bag in my truck (I have a couple of rental units)Decided to get yet another one- while they're still available. Amazon keeps playing with the price- up and down- and this time when they dropped the price- and had a coupon discount too- I jumped at it! Great, practical and useful tool. Maybe I did get 'lazy' in my old age but once you use it, you'll use it often!Now that I have 3 of these, I have one in my house garage, one in my shop and one in the truck so I dont have to go searching for one! Now I have 6 batteries that only take about 30 min to recharge and seems to last quite a while.It's a great product. Not as 'solid' as the original Hitachi but certainly not one of those cheap flimsy generic Chinese no name screwdrivers! If I needed another one- or needed to give one as a gift, I'd certainly get another on of these. Hopefully, these Metabo's will last as long as the original Hitachi stuff!

Picked this because Project Farm reviewed it a bit back and test showed it was good. No regrets so far! I wasn't looking for a High Torque one, just something that'll get basic screw jobs snug. This will do it! I have used it a lot for everyday things such as building/tweaking my gaming computer, tightening cabinets, assembling IKEA stuff, but more recently electrical work. I've been replacing all the outlets and switches in my house and this thing provides the right amount of torque and battery life needed! It has a nifty light button allowing me to leave it on or off based on my needs, even when not using it. I keep the settings on Low Speed and Max Torque., except for faceplates. Makes things snug. If I need to REALLY torque something, I finish by hand. This isn't crazy high in torque, but will do basic screw jobs well. Don't expect it to act like an impact driver.Only 'CON' so far is I wish it had a battery life indicator on it. But you do get 2 batteries that charge somewhat quick at least.

I have had many battery powered powered screw drivers like this one from different brand and the common issue i found among all of them was lack of torque. This one is different and has plenty of torque to do the job.Batteries long for a long time, it is a very pratical tool to have. The head can pivot making it easier to access to hard reaching screws.Price point is really attractive as well since it usually is below $100.Gave it a 4 stars because it is a little bit on the heavy side

This is the old Hitachi brand, they are great and you can repair them with parts - and have a warranty to boot. Best electric screwdriver available. No twisting to make it work like the dump D\/\/altz, not big, clutch works great, has lights, and forward and reverse are right there, no switch!

Swap-able batteries, included charger, nice carry case, and impact-style chuck. Makes good torque and has 2 speed settings. Very worth getting if you drive a lot of screws

I really wish I had bought this a long time ago! Before, I would stick a drillbit on my compact drill—with combined weight of battery plus tool, it adds up to over 2 lbs. While I’m accustomed to using the compact drill, it is unwieldy.Then I ordered the Metabo HPT 12v screwdriver…. My life has changed lol! Easy to use, buttons and lightswitch all conveniently placed for easy one handed operation, adjustable clutch is great for torque, batteries lasts a good amount. Plus it is lightweight yet a solid tool (dropped several times from 3’ height, no problem).Highly recommend

This is what I like about it: The Metabo HPT works really well for what we use it for at work and no it isn't for drilling or for the screwdriving part. We use it to create chamfers on the parts to get rid of burrs. It lasts me the whole 8 hours there of constant use and I believe it lasts the whole use of the other 2 shifts as well to the point of going into my shift again, but then I will need to change it during my shift the following day. This tends to be constant use and not just one or two holes it's more like 13 or more holes that need chamfered and we aren't pressing down really hard on it either. Just letting the drill sit on top of the hole and letting it get rid of the burrs with very little pressure. Put too much pressure and it could create a really big chamfer which could scrap your part, so not pressing down hard on it.This is what I don't like about it: It doesn't have a source to tell you if it is getting ready to die and that you need to change it. That is the only thing that I can think of that I don't like.I'm thinking of getting one for here at the house as well, but this one I got for work because they don't have enough of these and I just really like it. Will be using it at home first since it is Saturday and there are things I need to use a drill for so will let you know how it works on those.
