Panasonic EY6432GQKW 15.6-Volt NiMH 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit Editorial Review: Includes: (2) Panasonic 15.6V 3.5 Ah Ni-MH Batteries - EY9231B, Panasonic 7.2V - 24V Ni-Cd / Ni-MH Universal Battery Charger - EY0110B, Carrying Case.
Ideal for General Construction, Plumbing, Carpentry and Electric Installation Work. This powerful drill driver delivers full torque at any speed, so full force can be applied while still maintaining control. With an 18-stage clutch plus drill position, heavy-duty keyless chuck, variable speed control, 2-speed gearbox, electric brake and a quick-charging system, this high-quality tool is ideal for general construction, plumbing, electrical installation work and finish carpentry. Defines the Standard for Ergonomic Design. Superbly balanced, this drill driver is ideal for both right- and left-handed users. Rubber surfaces on the handle and rear barrel, as well as a soft finger rest, provide a sure grip to help ensure stability and help combat fatigue during prolonged use. The forward/reverse switch is conveniently located on the body of the drill and easily within the reach of your trigger hand. This makes changing bits substantially easier. Less Time Spent Waiting and More Time Spent Working. The 3.5Ah Ni-MH battery can be fully charged in 55 minutes (using the EY0110B charger), which means less time spent waiting and more time spent working. Even when there isn't time for a full charge, the inverter charger features a 5-minute "Emergency Charge" that charges the pack to 15% of its capacity.
Customer Reviews: Excellent for the Average Home User, and Small Contractor I have used this drill for everything from very small to medium size home "DIY" projects & repairs. Each time, it has performed above & beyond the call of duty. I have no gripes whatsoever, and highly recommend it. It is relatively compact, charges quickly, and is well-balanced in my hands.
If you make a living doing things with drills (ie, contractor, etc.), then I don't know how it will hold up under constant heavy use. But, for general home user use, including building several large wooden structures on my property (for example a large wooden playset, a workbench, etc.), it has been excellent.
Pleased as a set-screw Cant beat this driver. Powerful and light weight. Sturdy, and fairly compact. Only missing item is a small illuminating light for dark/tight spot while using.
Shipping was quick, and painless. Very satisfied.
great tool This is my second one of these drills the last one I had for 6 years a long time for a cordless tool that gets used by a finish carpenter everyday. The amazing thing is how long the batteries last. Other brands of cordless tools I've had, the batteries won't hold a charge after about a year and a half. After 6 years my batteries in my old Panasonic drill are still holding a charge I tried them in my new drill when it came in and they worked fine it was the drill that finally gave up. It's alittle pricey for a 15 volt drill but I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Excellent! My old drills, 18 volt, were never real balls of fire, but I considered them quite adequate until this one. Now I'm rather ashamed to sell the old ones or even give them away. They seem SO anemic now.
I LIKE it!

Great cordless drill/screwdriver for home projects! I have owned several brands of cordless drill but have never been real impressed with the torque, or battery life. This Panasonic has more torque, is smaller and more compact, and has tremendous battery life. It is now my favorite tool. I have been recommending Panasonic to my neighbors. I never did that with any of the other brands.
