Description of Panasonic EY6225CQ 3-3/5-Volt Cordless Drill and Driver
Accurate, High Speed and Powerful Performance. Light, compact, 3.6V screwdriver easily converts from straight to pistol form for accurate drilling. A large rocker-switch conveniently placed within reach of your thumb changes drill or driving from forward or reverse. A two-speed gearbox offers 200 rpm in slow mode and 600 rpm in high mode as well as an auto shut-off, 22-stage clutch to prevent overtightening. Less Time Spent Waiting and More Time Spent Working. The 3.6V battery can be fully charged in 15 minutes (using the EY0225B charger), which means less time spent waiting and more time spent working.Tools and Hardware Reviews of Panasonic EY6225CQ 3-3/5-Volt Cordless Drill and Driver
Customer Review: One of the best ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been in electronics service for over 30 years, and our shops have always used these stick type screwdrivers. Products like Black and Decker, Skil, and Craftsman are not even close to being the caliber of
this Panasonic driver.
This is my 4th driver, and each one has been a steady improvement in features and power. I have been using it daily for about 5 years now. Having started out with the single speed Milwaukee, then the Milwaukee and Panasonic two speed 2.4 volt drivers,(which are identical), and now the 3.6 volt Panasonic, these are all truly bullet proof and proven Professional products. Our shops have been outfitted with hundreds of them over the years, and not one of them fail until they have been completely worn out from many years of daily abuse.
This model has been manufactured for many years, which is why it is still using Ni-Cd technology. But the rest of the features, such as the chuck, and the electronic clutch, are very modern. They work perfectly, and have been a big improvement over prior models, as has been the increase to 3.6 volts, enabling the speed to go to 600 rpm. I'm sure Panasonic will be updating it soon, but the lack of Li-Ion batteries is not that big of a deal.
Contrary to a prior comment, you do not want variable speed with a driver of this type. You would find that it actually would be a nuisance. The low speed high torque setting is great for that occasional tough job, or if you need delicate control.
It should be noted that this is not a driver for driving long screws into 2x4's. It is a precision tool that has a surprising amount of power for its size. But it is used primarily for electronics and similar light duty tasks. Pick the correct tool for the job. The 9.6 volt Ridgid is a good driver if you need more power.
