It works like a tank, and is particularly impressive with high torque at slow speeds, reacting to exactly where you pull the trigger
This drill is fast, strong and light. If you need a strong performer and want to have money left, this cannot be beaten.
Awesome drill/driver, Highly recommended
I love this drill and highly recommend it.
I've owned this for a few weeks now and am very happy with it. Highest marks for battery life of course, I work with aluminum and this will put more holes and screws in 1/4 inch stock than any other.
I'm in the process of building a house and this drill is one of my star tools. It can put over 200 5/8" holes through 2 pieces of 2x treated lumber on a single battery charge.
The drill has worked fine but the batteries went bad after about 16 months.
This drill is the best cordless I have used, and I have used Black and Decker, and Dewalt. The power is unequaled. I am so glad I bought this drill!!
This drill puts all others to shame. I have worked with them all over the last 27 years and feel comfortable saying that so far this is the best.
This is THE cordless drill!!!
This drill is very powerful, be careful sinking screws into furniture. Battery life has been excellent, usually lasting 3 nights in the workshop before needing a recharge.
Used once so far to drill a bunch of holes in auto engine compartment. Some pretty thick sheet metal. Drill punched through metal in no time. Awesome drill!
I was very impressed with it's torque and the length of time the batteries held up to heavy use. However, after 6 months the motor flamed out (it actually started smoking) and I had to have it repaired.
BATTERY LIFE WAS NO COMPARISON TO ANY OF THE OTHER BRANDS- THE PANASONIC WOULD RUN WELL OVER A HALF HOUR AFTER OTHER SUBS HAD THEIR BATTERIES STUCK IN CHARGERS
Great cordless drill! I use this drill almost every day for carpentry work, from fine to rough, including use on wood, metal and plastic. It has ample torque, even with large bits.
Extremely happy about this purchase. The Drill works great.
An excellent cordless drill. This drill throws a powerful punch for being such a small and light drill.
believe it is the best on the market. The batteries last longer and are more powerful than any I've ever used.
Awesome drill! Batteries seem to last forever. I have used it to drill a 3/4" with an 18" bit through nail embedded 4"x12" and the two top plates and it just keeps on pulling, never lagged.
