The drill is great. It has plenty of power and the electronic speed control is nice. Add all this to a well balanced drill and you have a handsome package. However, I have had this drill for three years and I had to replace both batteries already. They seem to build a memory and I don't know how to prevent it from doing so. I have not used the drill extremely hard or abused it at all, to the contrary I use it but clean and maintain it better than most. I am not sure about the Ni-MH batteries,...

When I first started looking for a cordless drill,
I was looking for power, the more the better.
However, with that comes a ton of weight as well.
I had to change my mind set to what
I actually was going to use the drill for.
I'm a weekend warrior type person.
The drill I buy was going to be used for ordinary
do-it yourself work around the house.
I could not justify buying a drill with
so much torque that it could snap a head
of a lag bolt off.
I then started to look for a drill
that had decent torque with a compact
and lightweight design and with a good
battery life for driving screws.
Well, the Panasonic EY6407NQKW 12v.
fits the bill perfectly.
This unit is one of the smallest
and best balanced drills out there.
It has surprisingly good power.
It can drive a 1/4"x31/2" lag bolt in
without a pilot hole in a 4x4 P.T.
However, the real beauty of this unit
is in driving screws.
It drove 332- 2"deck screws using
a #2square bit into a 4x4 P.T. lumber
on a single charge.(No pilot holes either.)
AWSEOME! Other features I liked were
the clutch settings and the electronic
speed control.
The clutch settings are accurate,
and the electronic speed control
works great for driving stubborn screws in.
It also holds drill bits and drivers tight.
So if you are looking for a lightweight,
compact drill with decent torque,
THIS IS THE DRILL FOR YOU.
This deal also included the Big Lugg
which works great.
I would have given this drill 5 stars,
but I want to see how long the batteries last.
This is a nice unit.

I have used this drill for a year now, nice and light, powerful, and easy to use. Best tool I have owned.
