First aid Made Jan 1, 2015, sent to the company Jan 9, 2015, published by CPSC Jan 26, 2015
The product, in the report: Hitachi DB3DL2 3.6-Volt 1/4-Inch Hex Drive Screwdriver
Pinched finger resulted in minor bleeding.
The handle of this drill has two positions: straight or pistol style. The drill lacks a locking mechanism to prevent it from inadvertently changing to the pistol grip. When this happens it results in a pinched finger. In my case the finger pinch was severe enough to result in minor bleeding.
