This powerful 12-volt drill/driver delivers a maximum of 293 in./lbs. of full-time torque, so you can get tough jobs done and still remain in control. And with a two-speed gearbox, you can be sure to get the right speed for the job.
The low-speed setting of 50 to 400 RPM is ideal for tough jobs requiring high torque, such as drilling with large bits and driving screws in a controlled manner. Likewise, the high-speed setting of 180 to 1,300 RPM is great for general drilling and fastening in metal.
18-Stage Clutch Plus Drill Position for Precision and ControlThe EY6409GQKW is also equipped with an 18-stage clutch plus drill position, which helps ensure accuracy and control and extends the life of the tool by making sure the correct amount of torque is available for a variety of applications. This helps prevent driving screws too far, snapping them off, or damaging materials as you work.
Ergonomic Construction for Ease of Use
Well-balanced, this drill/driver is easy to work with, and it allows you to work long hours more comfortably. The EY6409GQKW measures a compact 8-3/16 inches in length and weighs less than five pounds. Ideal for both right- and left-handed users, this tool's ergonomic design includes a comfortable, contoured rubber grip to reduce fatigue during extended use. And convenient placement of the variable-speed control trigger and forward/reverse switch permits simple, one-handed operation.
A 1/2-inch heavy-duty keyless chuck means that you'll never have to worry about losing your chuck key. It also means that bit changes will be fast and easy, which is important if you switch tasks often or wear protective gloves on the job.
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 high-capacity 3.5-Ah Ni-MH battery pack that can be fully charged in just 55 minutes. This industry-exclusive battery has 75-percent more capacity than the 2.0-Ah Ni-Cd batteries that come with many standard drills.
This means less time waiting and more time working. And even when there isn't time for a full charge, the inverter charger features an Emergency Charge function that charges the pack to 15% of its full capacity in just five minutes.
For further convenience, this kit comes with a convenient second battery pack, so you don't have to worry about buying one separately.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Panasonic EY6409GQKW 12-Volt NiMH 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit
Customer Review: Best Cordless I've Owned or Used
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm an Army retiree and now a small-time farmer, woodworker and household improvement guy and I've owned or used most all kinds of cordless drills. I needed another one and wanted a light, powerful 12-volt drill. After doing all the comparisons on Amazon, the Panasonic came out on top with the tie-breakers being it's compact size and the 1/2" chuck. I really liked the compactness of the Makita 12-volt driver I have and wanted a stubby, powerful drill to match it. I also liked the 1/2" chuck option--using my old 3/4" chuck Black & Decker is hard work and limited by an electric cord. I've had the Panasonic 12-volt for about 8-months now and have used it for all kinds of wood and metal drilling tasks with metal and wood bits from #60 to 1/2". It centers and holds them all and holds tight enough to etch the chuck end of the bit on larger bits. Like that old 3/4" inch Black & Decker or other powerful corded and cordless drills, this little 12-volt Panasonic has the power to make you hold on with both hands if you're drilling into thick metal or thick wood using larger bits; it'll twist out of one hand rather than bind or have the bit slip (unless you're unusually strong with big hands!). The drill first starts at 50-RPM whereas other ones will start at just above 0-RPM, but I have had no problems with small bits breaking off at the start RPM of the Panasonic, in metal or hardwood. I buy professional-grade tools and expect them to do the jobs they were intended to do forever and without babying them along and with zero performance or maintenance problems. This Panasonic does that for sure and I expect it to do so for a long, long time.
