User Comments about the Porter-Cable 9822 12-Volt Ni-Cad 3/8-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit

It is light weight, and the battery life is great. It is light and manageable, and having used 18V DeWalt and 19.2V Porter-Cable drills, I much prefer this smaller drill. I have not had the quality problems many of the other reviewers mention. My wife got this drill over a year ago, and it's great. I have also used the 9.6V series from Makita, which are also great for continuous light duty work.This drill is pretty tough - I have dropped it a few times onto concrete, and it still works great.


Both of us have used it on countless projects. I have not had a problem with torque limitations with this, but I am also using it only for drilling wood and driving wood and dry-wall screws. This is not the tool for frequently driving lag screws or large diameter forstner bits and hole saws. This is an awesome tool for what I have been using it for, which is drilling 1/2" and smaller holes in wood and driving wood screws.My wife loves this drill, too.


It falls over every time. It's been a staple in my home wood shop since then and has never let me down. This is a replacement to one I bought nearly 12 years ago. The torque is adequate for driving any screw type in wood but is too light for drilling into concrete without a lot of effort.One negative. You just have to remember to place it on it's side. You can't place the drill upright.



After a year or so one became noticeably weaker and held a charge shorter then the other. So in the market for a new one. Two new batteries cost just 10$ less then a new drill. Have owned this drill a while and worked fine for some time, no real problems, except for the batteries. Now neither will hold much of a charge. Maybe a Lith Ion one. The drill seems well built and functions well but the batteries leave something to be desired.



Specifically:* The battery chargers are junk. I'm a former carpenter and an obsessive compulsive home improver. In the same period, two batteries have also died. Not sure why it happens, but I don't think it's me- I treat my tools well.* The power leaves something to be desired.


Now that Porter Cable / Delta has been bought by Black and Decker (like DeWalt was years ago) hopefully the quality of the tools will improve. Some items, such as a circular saw and biscuit joiner are awesome. Next drill I'll get an 18V Li-Ion battery model* On the good side, I like the feel of the drill and the adjustable clutch is easy to adjust on the fly. I've owned two of these drills for three years. In general I've had a good opinion of Porter Cable tools, but I feel the quality of these drills leaves a lot to be desired and I would not buy them again. I had a total of three chargers between my tools, two charging units have died. I've had variable results with Porter Cable.


These drills are OK, but I think there are better models out there. I've used these drills for everything imaginable. Not too impressive- I expected better.* The chuck sometimes will not grip against whatever mechanism is in there, and will instead just "click and spin", requiring some finesse to get the chuck working properly. I used to think the Porter Cable label ensured a high quality tool, but it pays to carefully compare I now know. Maybe this is just due to the 12V capacity, I don't know.


Very satisfied. I checked with porter cable then returned this kids toy. This Item though pictured with a 2 amp battery came threw with puny and unlabelled 1.3 amp batteries. I have had a pair of these for years of continuous use. I ordered this product mostly to get the batteries. Where can I get a good buy on batteries. Mine have a larger profile 2 amp battery.
