Panasonic EY6432GQKW 15.6-Volt NiMH 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit
This model features the longest running 3.5 Amp Ni-Mh batteries in the industry, compared to other 18 Volt tools. The drill/driver weighs only 4.8 pounds but delivers 390 in./lbs. of torque. Max. Torque (in.-lbs.): 390, Volts: 15.6, Chuck Size (in.): 1/2, Keyless Chuck: Yes, Clutch Settings: 18, Reversible: Yes, Variable Speed: Yes, Side Handle: No, Battery Amp/Hour: 3.5Ah, Battery Included: Yes, (2) 3.5Ah Ni-MH batteries, Charger Included: Yes, 55-minute charger, Case Included: Yes, Tool Weight (lbs.): 4.8
It's easy to see why this drill was rated a 2006 "best buy" by a leading consumer magazine. 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 3-1/2 amp NiMH batteries deliver remarkable 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 speed control allows full torque at any speed, so you can apply full torque while still maintaining control. The tool features dual speed ranges of 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. The 3-1/2 amp batteries are ventilated, so they last longer, delivering up to 1,200 charges and recharges. 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 55-minute universal charger and hard-plastic carrying case. --Jon Groebner

Panasonic EY6432GQKW 15.6-Volt NiMH 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit Reviews
This is a great drill. I have purchased 4. and charger. The main reason, it was a better deal to buy an entire kit rather than a relacement bat.
It's small, light, balanced, and easy on the old arm. The power and run time are fantastic. Why plug in. I have owned this drill for years and it is still awesome. It is a bit heavy and unbalanced compared to my Makita 14v drill but it has more torque by far. The Panasonic is a staple in my shop these days. After tennis/ carpenter's elbow problems I look for the lightest tools and use a 14v makita impacter for screws and light drilling.
we've bought dozens of battery drills, we have had the best luck with the panasonic battery drills. the absolute worse drill we've ever bought ( 4 of 'em) was the Ridgid 18Volt battery drill. we really abuse them and they hold up well, considering.
However, on visiting this site and reading some reviews giving it high praise, I found myself disagreeing. For these reasons one needs to consider it in relation today's alternatives. This Pany only sees use on rare occassions now. For light duty jobs, the weight and bulk of the Pany works against it. A 14.4 impact driver, in my case a Makita, is just the tool of choice for high torque applications.
Not that it was not a great tool in its day, but in my tool box it has been replaced by an impact driver. Have owned the Pany 15.6 1/2 DD for many years. Bought it shortly after it came on the market and it served well for several years. .
It is far easier to use and 1.5 lbs lighter.
It retained enough charge through all those small jobs that the first time I had to recharge a battery was today, Sept. The battery held up for over a year. However, THIS is what really surprised me: battery life. Some demanding, others easy for a 15.6v drill. 20, 2008. I actually had to search my house to find the charger. It is a top-notch performer. I purchased this drill in August 2007.
I've used it periodically on various household repairs and projects. Recommended. Amazing. I charged it once on August 8, 2007.
