This thing drives screws through several inches of dimension lumber for a long time on one battery charge. Admittedly, the drill dropped several feet a couple times to a hard surface. My first Panasonic (EY6432NQKW) lasted 7 years under heavy use. A slide-on battery would be a more robust approach. Not much of a factor in purchasing it, it's shorter length proved invaluable in many situations. My only complaint is that the batteries tended to fall off the drill in later years so I had to add a round of blue tape at battery changes. The chuck clutch finally gave out, but I quickly bought this new Panasonic, and also another mfgr's lithium model.
Fabulous torque, battery life, ergonomics, balance. Very impressive. But it's the best drill out there none-the-less. The new Panasonic (like the old one) blows it away.
You show savings of 100.00 to200.00 dollars off of most Items, What are you comparing your prices to. You say we save x amount of dollars off of retail, thats Bs No we don't, Explain your savings please, when I go into local stores I don't see these savings. Most of your prices are within a few bucks of everbody else price.
I'm with the Panasonic Cordless Drill vote these days after I've had one of these for 5 years without a single problem before the batteries finally gave out. Panasonic EY6432GQKW 15.6-Volt NiMH 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit I just ordered a new one from Amazon since it comes with two batteries I'll still be able to use my old drill for another 5 years as well. You can't beat the durability and power of these drills.
Bought it to build some raised garden beds of redwood. I bought this drill/driver based on the recommendation of a leading consumer magazine as well as a hardware store merchant. Works great. They put together rapidly and look gorgeous. I'm a woman who fixes stuff at home myself.
I am a Builder, and have three of these. It is actually cheaper to buy the drill kit than it is to buy the two batteries. Each has a problem.One has a broken Chuck as I tightened a bit in it that was off center and broke one of the three tines, I have another that smells burned out and over heats probably from over use, and a third that I dropped Damaging the internals,, I also have several Batteries that wont charge. Problem is that I use the Panasonic skill saw every day, I also use the drill but it is not well balanced and can easily fall from a tool apron.The Batteries are so expensive.
