5.0 out of 5 stars A great high-speed corded drill
The Porter-Cable 2611 is quite possibly the best high-speed corded drill on the market. It has a very powerful and smooth-running motor. The fit-and-finish of the tool is the best that I have seen for any drill--period. The ergonomics (balance, grip, ease of operation, etc.) are superb. Drilling/driving at low speed takes a little practice, but is quite manageable...

3.0 out of 5 stars Tremendous power, BUT!
The P-C 2611 is a very strong drill and has demonstrated it's willingness to bore through various materials with vigor. However, this is supposed to be a variable speed drill and it has so little feel or touch at slow speed that I had the trigger switch replaced by a P-C authorized service center. No difference. Trying to use it as a driver is frustrating as it's too...

This review is from: Porter-Cable 2611 3/8-InchDrill with Keyed Chuck (Tools & Home Improvement)
The P-C 2611 is a very strong drill and has demonstrated it's willingness to bore through various materials with vigor. However, this is supposed to be a variable speed drill and it has so little feel or touch at slow speed that I had the trigger switch replaced by a P-C authorized service center. No difference. Trying to use it as a driver is frustrating as it's too difficult to develop and maintain a controlled speed appropriate for driving screws. Lots of willing power for drilling but if I were just using it to drill I would have bought the 1/2". Weight is well balanced and of course construction is top notch.

This review is from: Porter-Cable 2611 3/8-InchDrill with Keyed Chuck (Tools & Home Improvement)
The Porter-Cable 2611 is quite possibly the best high-speed corded drill on the market. It has a very powerful and smooth-running motor. The fit-and-finish of the tool is the best that I have seen for any drill--period. The ergonomics (balance, grip, ease of operation, etc.) are superb. Drilling/driving at low speed takes a little practice, but is quite manageable. However, the drill really shines in high-speed drilling applications, such as pocket-hole joinery. The Porter-Cable 2611 is a rock-solid, high-performance drill. The only serious competition is the Milwaukee model that is in the same class.
