I am completely satisfied with the Panasonic hammer drill. This is my second purchase of a Panasonic drill.
Never thought I would buy a Panasonic drill, this one is really powerful. A little heavy but awesome.
I have used many cordless drills and this one is by far the best. It has excellent power and battery life. I would highly recommend this tool to anyone.
In conclusion this drill i believe is the best out there for lite masonry apps like tapcons, the torque is way overboard (it can tackle things most other drills cant like drilling through steel)...Even though this tool is heavy i still gave it five stars because to me its worth its weight in gold.
