Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Impressively compact, lightweight, and comfortable to use, Panasonic's 15.6-volt drill/driver fits into tight spaces where other (bulkier) drills won't. But what really sets this drill apart from the competition is its unique electronic speed control. Unlike other drills on the market, this Panasonic delivers full torque at any speed, so you can apply full force--up to 390 inch-pounds of torque--while still maintaining control. This drill is a smart buy for plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and even woodworkers--in short, anyone who wants a small, compact drill that packs a lot of torque and is built to last. It weighs just 4.4 pounds (with battery) and is (only!) 8-3/16 inches long. The 1/2-inch chuck takes bigger bits. The hard-rubber handle is very easy to grip during constant use, even if you have smallish hands. In addition, the forward/reverse switch is easy to reach with your trigger hand. In fact, the tool's superior ergonomic design--never mind its great performance--is enough win some people over. The tool lacks an onboard bit holder, but that's about all it lacks. The package includes two of Panasonic's long-lasting 3 amp NiMH batteries, a 45-minute universal charger, and a hard-plastic carrying case. Buy now and you'll receive a free Bigg Lugg tool holder with the kit. The Bigg Lugg is a great device for securing your new drill to your belt. --Jon Groebner

You can't do better than this drill for serious home use,

This review is from: Panasonic EY6431NQKWK 15.6-Volt 1/2" Cordless Drill/Driver Kit includes Bigg Lugg Tool Holder a $9.99 Value (Tools & Home Improvement)
This has been an outstanding drill for the last several years. GREAT balance, light weight, plenty of power, excessive run time, and a quick charge.The NiMH batteries are resistant to the battery "memory" effect that causes NiCAD batteries to prematurely fail if not completely discharged. My suggestion is to go for the model with the the 3.5 AH batteries, as they will theoretically last 17% longer than the 3.0 AH batteries. My only complaint is the weird LED "blinky" code that the charger displays while charging. I never quite know if it is done charging. The manual is not quite clear about how this code works, so I just let it charge a little longer than suggested.

Best cordless out there!,
This review is from: Panasonic EY6431NQKWK 15.6-Volt 1/2" Cordless Drill/Driver Kit includes Bigg Lugg Tool Holder a $9.99 Value (Tools & Home Improvement)
I have owned this drill/driver for over 5 years now and it still performs just like the day I bought it. And what's more impressive is that I still have my original batteries and they just keep on trucking. I also have the Bosch 18 volt combo kit which is great stuff, but the Bosch just does not compare to this 15.6v wonder. My son wanted one so bad he mentioned it to his mother (not my wife anymore), but when she found out the price, she settled on the Craftsman 18v thinking it was "just as good". Needless to say the Craftsman is NOT of this quality, so I ordered another Panasonic for my daughter-in-law to give to him for Xmas. He loves his just as much as I do mine and the afore-mentioned Craftsman dwells in a dark drawer somewhere never to see light of day again. Pricey?..Yes, but worth every penny.

This review is from: Panasonic EY6431NQKWK 15.6-Volt 1/2" Cordless Drill/Driver Kit includes Bigg Lugg Tool Holder a $9.99 Value (Tools & Home Improvement)
I have used many cordless drills, but this is the best so far. I started with the 12 volt model but returned and exchanged for the 15.6 volt and am glad I did. A little more oomph. Great 1/2" chuck, solid batteries, good balance, wide range of clutch adjustments, has been rugged so far. At a wood shop where I do some work the owner saw this and soon changed out his shop drills to this model.NiMH batteries are a great improvement over NiCads, but don't seem to perform as well in cold weather as in hot weather. But with two batteries and the good charger that comes with it, it's not a problem. I can charge the second battery in less time than it takes to deplete the one in use.
