Customer Reviews:

very good tool [Posted on 2005-11-24]
I have had a 12 volt porter cable cordless drill for 5 years now. I need another because the batteries have finally died and they want as much for a new set of batteries as they do for the whole drill. I will be purchasing another Porter Cable. I've used this drill for many large projects including a 2000 square ft shop that was screwed together entirely with this drill. I also do a lot of steel working and have used and abused this drill without any problems. It has been dropped from several roofs without any issues also. I have also used 18v cordless drills and in my opinion the extra weight is not worth the extra power. this 12v drill will do anything you will probably be doing with a cordless drill.

Dear Sir;
I have used this product now for almost a month and find it to be a drill that is easy to use and comfortable in the hand. It has more power than I had expected and so far am very pleased with it.

professional tool [Posted on 2007-07-15]
I have had my PC 12V drill for 8 years medium use. Excellent power/weight ratio with no need for more voltage. Replaced one battery at 3years and replaced the replacement last month. One of the original batteries is still going strong. The only downside is the battery replacement cost is high.

poorter cable ;( [Posted on 2008-04-26]
I too have given up on porter cable drills for the same reasons listed in other reviews.(1)Battery life on replacement battery is acceptable for roughly 2 months.(2) The replacement charger no longer charged after 4 months of regular everyday use(completely DEAD).CONCLUSION. When the planets are lined up properly this drill itself CAN'T be BEAT!! But in the long run this drill becomes to pricey to operate on a regular basis.

Strong Drill [Posted on 2008-04-27]
Very Good Drill. It has much more torque than others I have had. I don't know how I got along without it!
