Tools and Hardware Reviews of Panasonic EY6432GQKW 15.6-Volt NiMH 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver KitCustomer Review: Hands Down the best Daily Drill Summary: 5 StarsI am a professional handyman, and have been in the business for 16 years. I just purchased and received My 4th panasonic 15.6v drill. The 1st one I bought in 99, because it had a 1/2" chuck. I used it alongside some makita drills, but it quickly made its way to being my #1 choice. I use this drill daily, and it has never failed. I have never known another contractor to carry one since it is not sold a Lowes or Home Depot, but everyone who has tried or borrowed my drill has been thoroughly impressed. For those whom do not use a cordless daily, this drill might be abit overbearing as it has alot of power, and drives screws very quickly on high speed. This drill will happily shear the heads off of deck screws and 1/4" bolts if care is not taken. I have heard that the long term battery life is short when the drill is not used often, or stored fully charged. My last drill and others (replaced when the batteries no longer hold a charge) have lasted some 3 years each, two of which I still use as backups, they'll hold a charge for 30 min or so, long enough when I need two drills, or I just use the other new battery that came with the new drill. The new batteries tend to last a long time when charge. With the newest edition came some nice changes to the drill, a more tapered chuck to get it into even tighter spaces, as well as the elimination of the ratcheting chuck, this one is much quieter when inserting and tightening a bit. It also seems to be a little more powerful then the older version, but that may be because it is brand spanking new. If you are looking for a great dailing drill, look no further, it is definately a steal for $200.
Description of Panasonic EY6432GQKW 15.6-Volt NiMH 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver KitRaw power and 75-percent more capacity to run. With two 3.5 amp NiMH batteries and 390- inch/pounds of torque, packed into a 8.5-inch chassis. Its power/weight ratio is an unequaled package of peak performance. A fan cooled motor, with laser welded fields is state of the art technology. The motor's full torque speed control allows max torque delivery at any rpm, and offers dual speed ranges of 65-450 / 200-1450 with electronic brake and precision clutch fastening capabilities. Rubberized grip reduces operator fatigue and improves driving comfort. NiMH batteries possess superior charging and discharging characteristics, and are vented for longer cell life. Universal charger charges all past and present Panasonic batteries. Comes with high impact carrying case. It's easy to see why this drill was rated a 2006 "best buy" by a leading consumer magazine. Impressively compact, lightweight, and comfortable to use, Panasonic's 15.6-volt drill/driver fits into tight spaces where other bulkier drills won't. The 3-1/2 amp NiMH batteries deliver remarkable run time per charge, which is a big plus, especially if you need a tool for continuous use. What about power? This Panasonic packs up to 390 inch-pounds of torque--as much (if not more) than anyone needs in a cordless tool. The motor's speed control allows full torque at any speed, so you can apply full torque while still maintaining control. The tool features dual speed ranges of 65 to 450 and 200 to 1,450 rpm. The 1/2-inch chuck takes bigger bits. The first thing you notice about this tool, however, is how compact it is (the chassis measures only 8-1/2 inches) and how comfortable it feels in your hand. The soft-pad grip provides extra cushion and the tool's balance is superb, two important features if you wield a cordless day in and day out. The tool lacks an onboard bit holder, but that's about all it lacks. The 3-1/2 amp batteries are ventilated, so they last longer, delivering up to 1,200 charges and recharges. This drill is a smart buy for plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and even woodworkers--in short, anyone who wants a small, compact drill that packs a lot of torque and is built to last. The package includes a 55-minute universal charger and hard-plastic carrying case. --Jon Groebner Impressively compact, lightweight, and comfortable to use, Panasonic's 15.6-volt drill/driver fits into tight spaces where other bulkier drills won't.
