It just leaves the other brands gasping for air. High torque in the low speeds and just a great feel to it. Drives screws in any surface with ease. Try a different brand then try tha panasonic and you'll be convinced.

I have had this drill (actually it's predecessor) for over 10 years. I bought it just as I started working on "Hook", the movie. It had one feature I found too compelling not to try: the speed controller gives FULL or MAXIMUM TORQUE at ALL speeds! That means you don't have to give it more gas to twist harder. That translates into control! Fine, precise control. Amazing. Now after all those years of super hard use, I must replace it. The batteries are ready for the recycler. I am going to get the 15.6V 1/2" model to replace it, and I am sure it will ROCK! Way to go Panasonic! As a Product Designer (too) I applaud your work! (PS: The main shaft could be harder, as mine bent slightly after a drop...but it still makes Makita owners blanche!) Leslie Ekker, SFX Modelmaker
panasonic 12V 3/8 cordless drll [Posted on 2002-03-10]
I recieved this drll as a gift for chrismas. My friend told my wife about it as he is a cabinetmaker by trade and they have 3 of them in the shop. Well I wasn't to be disappointed. I have small hands, but find that the erogonomics fit my hand perfectly. It is well balanced and the forward and reverse are right where you expect them to be. I especially like how you chuck up the bit. This drill has the power it takes to do the job with less effert. I had a Porter-cable and I would choose the Panasonic hands down.

The chuck alone is worth the extra cost. Size, weight, balance and power make it chosen over my other cordless drills by Milwaukee, DeWalt and Porter Cable. I use the other three when I have lots of room, mainly to save the batteries in the Panasonic or we need a hammer-drill. We try to save the panasonic for all the driving and tight spot drilling. The chuck locks up as tight as a keyed chuck with real precision. Full power at low speeds is nice. the electric brake is good and the motor is outlasting the other tools according to motor odors.

1. the battery lasted thru about 25-35 cycles, maybe because i left them charge overnight??? so now they are wimpier than before, barely holding a cha$rge....and now finding a ni-cad replacement battery is proving to be iffy.
2. panasonic went to ni-mh batteries leaving the older users in the lurch, the ni-mh won't fit in the drill or charger; where oh where can the ni-cad's be (at a reasonable cost).
3. the chuck just does NOT grasp a bit, when under pressure the bit just spins in the jaws.
4. the torque, well where is it, the thing stalls out drilling in steel or thick oak.
other than that, such a buy...
