Description of Panasonic EY6409NQKW 12-Volt NiMH 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit
The EY6409NQKW cordless 1/2 In. drill/driver kit is the perfect tool for general construction, plumbing, carpentry and electric installation work. This drill/driver is tough delivering 293 In. Lbs.. of torque. The 12 V 2.8 Ah Ni-MH battery pack offers longer runtime for extended work periods. This combination of high voltage and high battery capacity yields more work per charge to keep you on the job as long as you need to be. This 12 V drill/driver is comfortable to use. The ergonomic balance of the tool body offers comfortable operation for extended periods of time with less fatigue. The sure grip support handle give you comfort, balance, and best fit positioning for those high torque applications. The soft grip on the tool handle helps reduce fatigue for fingers. In addition the low-profile battery pack allows you to easily attach and detach the battery pack from the tool.Impressively compact, lightweight, and comfortable to use, Panasonic's 12-volt drill/driver fits into tight spaces where other bulkier drills won't. The 3 amp NiMH batteries deliver impressive 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 293 inch-pounds of torque, while the motor's speed control allows full torque delivery at any speed, with dual speed ranges of 0 to 400 and 1 to 1,300 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 8-3/16 inches) and how comfortable it feels in your hand. The soft-pad grip provides extra cushion and the 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. 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 two of Panasonic's long-lasting 3 amp NiMH batteries, a universal charger, and a hard-plastic carrying case. --Jon Groebner
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Panasonic EY6409NQKW 12-Volt NiMH 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit
Customer Review: The best cordless driver for the money-just buy it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best driver/drill out there for a number of reasons such as; it has a sturdy chuck that securely holds even the smallest of bits. I had a Makita previously and with small bits, it would often loosen on it's own-very annoying. It runs very smoothly, has NiMH batteries (don't even bother with something that uses NiCAD), and it's much lighter and easier to hold than the 15.6v version-try holding the 15.6v version above your head for a while and you'll see what I mean.
This Panasonic 12v packs plenty of punch for everything but the most severe industrial jobs. Among those in the know, Panasonic is regarded as the best maker of cordless drivers. The combination of reliabilty, ergonomics and smoothness is why.
This driver is perfect not just for usage around the house as a powerful cordless screwdriver and drill, but it can also quite effectively be used in industrial/contractor situations with no problem at all. I'm a photographer and just used this driver to install frame mounting hardware to the backs of about 100 picture frames for a corporate client and I was extremely pleased every time I reached for it-it's not too heavy, I didn't worry about the chuck coming loose or having the unit fail. I can't say this much about other brands I've owned in the past.
