A reconditioned Panasonic drill for $159.00 is great if you get the two batteries with it. On a new one you get two baterries for $199.00, I don't see the savings personally.

We have been using these drills in our plumbing fabrication shop for four years now.Started with two in '98 bought another in'99.We use them to torque No-Hub clamps,tighten U-Bolts(much faster than wrench or ratchet),drive screws,small bolts and nuts as well as drilling up to 3/8" holes in 1/4" mild steel.Also works great for cleaning copper fittings with the wire fitting brushes and short copper pipe nipples when placed over the fitting brush.Battery life and run time is great on these drills and all three are still mechanically good.

I would say this is a great deal and would feel comfortable with it being reconditioned if it came with two batteries like a new one. What do they do with the other battery when it comes back, throw it away? Another battery will cost you around $90 and you need two. Anyway, I've owned one of these for 4 years and it is still going strong. This is an excellent product.

I've had 4 different cordless drills. My wife bought me this one 3 years ago and I virtually used it steady for two years while building a new house for my son. It is a great drill with plenty of power and with the extra battery you don't need to worry about running out of soup.
