Description of Panasonic EY6432NQKW 15.6-Volt NiMH 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit

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 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 390 inch-pounds of torque--as much (if not more) than anyone needs in a cordless tool. The motor's electronic speed control allows full torque at any speed, so you can apply full torque while still maintaining control. The tool's dual speed ranges are 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. 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 45-minute universal charger and a hard-plastic carrying case. --Jon Groebner

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Panasonic EY6432NQKW 15.6-Volt NiMH 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit

Customer Review: Best Cordless Drill I have ever used!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the second one of these I have purchased. I bought the first one about 8 years ago after doing a good amount of research. The one feature that tipped me towards this drill was a review that rated this drill as the absolute best as far as maintaining constant torque over the speed range. You don't often hear discussions about torque but in general it relates to control and this drill is very good in this area.

The drill is also very well balanced and not overly heavy. I think 15.6v is a nice compromise between battery power and weight.

Panasonic did have problems with some early batteries and that is my one negative on this drill. I was not able to get batteries replaced under warranty due to when they were determined bad. I was able to build one good battery pack out of the two provided. One good pack provides plenty of usability for most jobs.

Note: When I originally got this drill I was a bit disappointed in the battery life compared with my 9.6 volt Milwalkee. Turns out there were dead/weak cells in both battery packs right from the start. Unfortunately for me I did not determine this until it was out of warranty. After fixing one pack up to be all good cells this baby performs extremely well.

If you are going to do anything more that casual work or just enjoy using high quality tools you will love this drill!
