Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Imagine the feel of 470 inch-pounds of torque in your hand. That's what this awesome drill/driver delivers in the lock-up position, powered by a 19.2-volt battery. Because of the two-speed gearbox, you've got drill speed ranges of 0 to 500 rpm and 0 to 1,500 rpm. Its 1/2-inch chuck is keyless, and the 20-position clutch takes care of drilling into all kinds of material. Porter-Cable's drills are among the best on the market; you'll never regret a PC purchase. But here's one more reason to go with this model if you're in the market for a cordless drill/driver: the interchangeable Grip-to-Fit handle inserts. Having grappled with tool handles that were too big to control, we think this system is a great idea. There are manly sized grips included, of course, but for the woman woodworker or cabinetmaker, welcome to a delight--small grips! This package also gets you two batteries, a charger, a bit, side handles, and a case. You just can't go wrong. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

3.0 out of 5 stars Good tool -- Bad Battery, March 5, 2003

This is a great tool; smooth, not heavy, rugged case, good power. This does have plastic drive gears which eventually wear out but is fine the casual worker or light work. I spent 3 weekends driving 3/8 lags screws and stripped the gears. No problem getting a new drill. I have 2 other similar models but the batteries last about 2 hours with medium work load and may take 4 or more hours to cool off and take 2 hours to charge. My old model PC drill last 4 hours and charges in about 1 1/2 hours

This review is from: Porter-Cable 9984 19.2-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased the drill/saw combo--19.2 volt--two years ago. The

first problem was the batteries. I had trouble charging them, but upon opening them up discovered that one of the leads was no longer soldered on. I fixed that and the batteries worked well. I've had no trouble with the charger and use it every day. Now

the torque restrictor seems to have given up and I cannot drill

with full torque, making it useless for drilling larger holes.

The rubber sleeve on the chuck is chintzy and little is left of

it. I had to glue it back on after a few months.
