Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Porter-Cable 9822 12-Volt Cordless Drill with 3/8-inch keyless chuck is a compact drill with the power and torque of a much larger one. The 9822 can handle heavy jobs due to its 21-position clutch that lets you dial in the perfect torque level as high as 260 in./lbs. The dual-speed gearbox drives the clutch from 0-400 RPM in low and 0-1,200 RPM in high. The 9822 comes equipped with two rechargeable 1.3 Amp/hour battery packs and an advanced diagnostic charger that monitors the batteries while being charged. This kit also comes with a carrying case with on-board storage for bits.

I did a lot of research on cordless drills and everything pointed to Porter-Cable as the drill to buy. It has performed flawlessly. It has plenty of power to drill, and it is easy to swap out the bits really fast. I probably would have preferred the 14.4V, but I can honestly say that the 12V does the job. Mine also came with an excellent flashlight, and the dual batteries are a must. The 1 hour charge time is fantastic!

3.0 out of 5 stars Be Careful with the Batteries, February 8, 2003

This is a super driver/ flashlight combo with the exception of two problems. The chuck is difficult to tighten on drill bits for the really tough jobs. And the batteries, if one should begin to leak (noticed by blue color on the contacts) had better be disposed of promptly. It will spread like cancer to the charger, then to the other battery and components. My entire system had to be disposed of due to a little blue color that I didn't think was a problem until too late.

Having purchased other Porter Cable products in the past, I had high expectations for this tool. I previously worked with a Makita 9.6 volt unit and wanted to upgrade to a 12 volt product. After six months of fairly light use, my first unit broke at the stem beneath the keyless chuck (above the torque adjustment). A local retail outlet replaced the tool with a new unit, but the battery failed after a few months on the replacement unit. I have concerns about overall manufacturer quality, however, the tool does perform well.
