Porter-Cable 9884 19.2 Volt 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill Kit

by Porter-Cable

Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This is a quiet, hard-working drill that feels good in hand, thanks to Porter-Cable's ergonomic design. There's onboard storage for two bits, and an electric brake brings the chuck to a nearly immediate stop. The battery charges up as fast as lightning, and it retains its power for a lot longer than you'd expect for such a powerful drill. A nice plus: the battery releases with the click of a button and slides effortlessly off the back of the tool. The two-speed gearshift offers 0 to 450 rpm in low and up to 1,450 rpm in high. Add to that its 20 clutch settings (just rotate the front collar to adjust the torque setting for whatever material you're drilling into) and solid lockup setting and you're good to go. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

4.0 out of 5 stars the 19.2 from a Professional point of view, March 18, 2000

This review is from: Porter-Cable 9884 19.2 Volt 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have owned the drill for about 2 months now. I find it to be more than adequate for the type of work I do. I install Hollow Metal door frames, doors, and remodeling and maintenance as well. It has plenty of power, torque and the frame is small enough to access relatively tight areas. I used the Makita 9 volt for years. The Porter Cable 19.2 surpasses that one as well as the others I have owned or used in my work. If there is one detractor to the drill, it has to be the drill motor housing/case. The other day as I was working from a 4' ladder and the drill fell to the floor (carpeted} and the housing cracked near the battery reveiver area. Needless to say I was a bit upset. I have had other drills sustain such falls before with a minimal of damage and keep on working. In this type of work, I need a tool that will perform under very harsh field conditions and keep on going. Down time is money to me and every other tradesman in the industry. Perhaps a case of polycarbonate could be introduced to take the daily rigors of the job site. A satisfied customer is, after all, a repeat customer. Respectfully submitted, Skip Dascomb [e-mail]

4.0 out of 5 stars A little heavy but a lot of power, October 14, 2000

This review is from: Porter-Cable 9884 19.2 Volt 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

I like mine, you should get you one. I consider a couple hundred bucks to be a fairly substantial investment, so I did lots of research before I bought mine.I considered buying DeWalt,but after talking to several owners, I found that DeWalt had a histoy of problems, besides, it appeared that Porter Cable had more bang for the buck. I was right, the drill I have goes a long, long time before I have to charge it. Just the other day I was driving screws intermittently all day long, and at the end of the day I had to drive 12- 6" by 1/4" lag bolts into douglas, fir, I decided not to predrill them, just to see if my drill would do it.(I still had a fresh battery if it wouldn't.)So anyway the drill did it, it even twisted the head right off one of the lag bolts, when I ran into a knot,and had power left over! The only 2 things I would change about the package would be, to design a more useful carrying case with more storage space, and to make the drill a little lighter, but I feel pleased with my selection, and I use my drill almost 5 days a week at work, I work for a general contractor. I have owned my drill for about 6 months.

I use a Dewalt 18 volt and the PC 19.2 volt. The Porter-Cable is my cordless drill of choice everytime. The fit and finish are excellent. It fits my hand and while not a light weight it is comfortable to hold for long periods of time. It as if this drill was made form me, my 20 year old daughter says the samething. The PC 19.2 volt is the most used drill in the shop.
