Porter-Cable 4634 Deck/Drywall Screwdriver

Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Porter-Cable gets into the deck and drywall businesses in a big way with this 6.8 amp screwdriver. Backed by 100-percent ball-bearing construction, this screwdriver boasts an aggressive "quiet" clutch that sets screws accurately and quickly in wood or metal studs. The reversible, variable-speed motor offers 0 to 2,500 rpm, and the nosepiece snaps on and off and features "set and forget" depth memory, letting you quickly dial in your countersink and not worry about it again. The driver feels right in the hand, too, with good balance, a soft grip, and a nicely integrated groove for your thumb and forefinger, making it very comfortable to operate with your hand directly behind the bit. A handy adjustable belt clip mounts to either side, which accommodates righties and lefties, and lets you quickly hook the tool to your belt when it's not in use, a more comfortable arrangement compared to the top-mounted clips you'll find on other brands. The screwdriver is built to last, too, with a strong, lightweight magnesium bearing plate, steel gears, a tough cast-aluminum gear housing, and a dust-sealed switch. --Jon Groebner

5.0 out of 5 stars Tons of power, February 5, 2003

This is a great product with tons of power. I have used it for decking and drywall. 3" deck screws are no problem. The nose piece is great with such easy adjustability. Buy one!

Anything you set out to accomplish with this baby is a zip. The 2500 rpms are more than enough to drive screws up to 3 inches with no prob into rafters, decking, and drywall. The depth setter is accurate, and allows for proper penetration into drywall. Grip provides comfort, and the belt clip seems durable, and hasn't broke yet, (as it has on my Dewalt). I always reach for this one... get it?

I have several PC drills/tools that work fine; however, this driver leaks oil/lubricant. I returned it to our area's PC repair facility in Maryland and they could not correct the problem. Their conclusion was that I had to live with it. Neither a cleanly operating tool nor good service. Fortunately, this has been an exception albeit a miserable one. Disappointing to say the least.
