Dependable and Powerful, with Dual-Speed Capability
This reliable drill driver delivers full torque at any speed, so you can be confident that enough force is available for tough jobs while maintaining control. This keeps you safe and lets you tackle precision work with confidence.
An 18-stage clutch, a dependable electric brake, and a two-speed gearbox help ensure that this tool is working for you in the most effective way possible. The low-speed setting of 50 to 400 rpm is ideal for jobs requiring high torque, such as drilling with large bits and driving screws in a controlled manner, while a high speed of 180 to 1300 rpm is great for general drilling tasks.
Convenient, Ergonomic Design for Comfort and Precision
This well-balance drill driver is ideal for both right- and left-handed users. A unique, soft finger rest and rubber surfaces on the handle and rear barrel help you maintain a sure grip and combat fatigue during prolonged use. This lets you produce more precise finished products without sacrificing comfort.
The forward/reverse switch is conveniently located on the body of the drill, easily within reach of your trigger hand. Combined with a heavy-duty keyless chuck, which means you'll never worry about a lost chuck key bringing work to a standstill again, this makes changing bits substantially easier. The tool measures a compact 8-3/16 inches in length and weighs less than four pounds.
Reliable, Quick-Charge Battery Power
Effective battery power means no more tangled extension cords that can limit your movement or cause a safety hazard. That's why this Panasonic drill driver is powered by a 2.0Ah Ni-Cad battery pack that can be fully charged in just 30 minutes using the included universal charger. With this quick-charging system and a spare battery included in the kit, you'll never get stuck waiting around for your battery to recharge in the middle of a big project.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Panasonic EY6405FQKW 12-Volt Ni-Cad 3/8-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit
Customer Review: Better than bigger
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned several cordless drills over the years and this one is the best of the bunch. It is powerful, well balanced and smaller than others on the market.
My choice of the Panasonic 12-Volt Ni-Cad drill was made after a search to find a `gutsy' tool that was not all that heavy to use. I have trouble grappling with those higher voltage drills having large batteries, but wanted the power somehow. The Panasonic 12-Volt fills the bill.
I have used the Panasonic with small Phillips screws, three inch deck screws and drilling in metal. The tool performed well in all of those applications. I don't know how they did it, but this 12 Volt drill seems to be as powerful as a 14.4 Volt drill and a lot less cumbersome.
The Panasonic EY6405FQKW has an effective clutch, variable speed trigger, two speed settings, and ergonomic design and a keyless chuck. The chuck is sort of strange, but it works fine after using it awhile.
Complaints seen in a number of reviews about battery life for the Panasonic are probably due to improper charging or an unrealistic expectation for how long these rechargeables normally last. I have not used my drill long enough to judge battery performance, but expect Panasonic (mainly an electronics company) would most likely have high standards for batteries with their name on them.
With the price of cordless drill batteries these days it is often cheaper to buy a whole new drill outfit, complete with two batteries, than it is to replace the old ones. This Panasonic EY6405FQKW 12-Volt Ni-Cad drill set is a good example of that. I bought this drill with the two batteries and a charger for less than what two new replacement batteries for my 12-Volt DeWalt would have cost and I think I have a better tool in the bargain.
