Just as good as it looks!! [Posted on 2003-06-15]
The 2.4V wireless panasonic driver made my job easy and don't worry about the 2.4V, which must be proven to be more powerful than you expect. It was perfectly working for my tedious boring job at home. If anyone who interested in electric tool for hobby or whatever, try to own it. You are not going to be disappointed. You will like it.

The best; makes the guys at Sears and Home Depot envious... [Posted on 2004-09-24]
I've used the EY-503 for a couple of years while doing repairs on hardware for a major computer company. It's an impressive tool with great torque settings, two speed selections, and a really comfortable pistol grip. I work with it on even small items, like T6 bits without worrying about stripping them out. Not too powerful, but not weak either, it is amazingly useful.

When I was looking for a personal driver, I tried hardware stores like Sears and Home Depot but could not find anything that came close. Shame on me for trying to save a few bucks. I bought one here at Amazon then took it back to Sears and Home Depot to show the salesmen I spoke with what I was talking about. All of them were very impressed with the EY-503 and one I know of ended up buying one.

The EY-503 is not an inexpensive tool by any means. However, if you use power tools on small items on a daily basis, this driver will more than pay for itself in utility as well as a long useful life. My only suggestion is that under very heavy use, you pick up a second battery.

Get the Milwaukee. Same screwdriver. Better warranty! [Posted on 2005-01-13]
I compared this Panasonic screwdriver with the Milwaukee 2.4 volt 6547-22. It's basically the same screwdriver. The Milwaukee is also made in Japan.

With the Milwaukee, you get two batteries, a fitted case, and three bits, including a 1/4" socket adapter and drill bits. It even comes with a 1/4" Jacobs chuck that fits the driver's 1/4" hex socket.

The Milwaukee has a five (5) year warranty on everything except the batteries. The batteries are warrantied for one year.

Eveyything is true from the other reviews on this tool and especially the Milwaukee. Further, the red body of the Milwaukee is less likely to get lost than the black Panasonic at the work site.

Panasonic Forward-Reverse Switch [Posted on 2005-03-08]
I paid 79.99 for a Panasonic EY503B 2.4-Volt Cordless Drill & Driver. This is a lot of money for a screw driver and I would have expected a professional quality tool for the money. What I got was a hand held tool that has a poorly designed forward-reverse button. It takes so much force to toggle the button that I got an indentation in my thumb. I thought the first one was defective, so I had Amazon.com replace the ordered tool. The replacement Panasonic was exactly of the same poor quality.

This is no toy. [Posted on 2006-02-26]
Awesome. Long battery life and powerful. Been using this product for years and I'm completely satisfied. "It's not 18 volts... it's only 2.4 volts, sounds too wimpy and too expensive". Wrong. Try it, You'll like it!
