Summary: Porter-Cable 12 V Drill
Comment: This is a replacement to one I bought nearly 12 years ago. It's been a staple in my home wood shop since then and has never let me down. The torque is adequate for driving any screw type in wood but is too light for drilling into concrete without a lot of effort.
One negative. You can't place the drill upright. It falls over every time. You just have to remember to place it on it's side.

Summary: Served me well...But
Comment: Have owned this drill a while and worked fine for some time, no real problems, except for the batteries. After a year or so one became noticeably weaker and held a charge shorter then the other. Now neither will hold much of a charge. The drill seems well built and functions well but the batteries leave something to be desired. Two new batteries cost just 10$ less then a new drill. So in the market for a new one. Maybe a Lith Ion one.

Summary: After 3 years of use, I give it 3 stars. Here's Why:
Comment: I've owned two of these drills for three years. I'm a former carpenter and an obsessive compulsive home improver. I've used these drills for everything imaginable. In general I've had a good opinion of Porter Cable tools, but I feel the quality of these drills leaves a lot to be desired and I would not buy them again. Specifically:
* The battery chargers are junk. I had a total of three chargers between my tools, two charging units have died. In the same period, two batteries have also died. Not too impressive- I expected better.
* The chuck sometimes will not grip against whatever mechanism is in there, and will instead just "click and spin", requiring some finesse to get the chuck working properly. Not sure why it happens, but I don't think it's me- I treat my tools well.
* The power leaves something to be desired. Maybe this is just due to the 12V capacity, I don't know. Next drill I'll get an 18V Li-Ion battery model
* On the good side, I like the feel of the drill and the adjustable clutch is easy to adjust on the fly.
Now that Porter Cable / Delta has been bought by Black and Decker (like DeWalt was years ago) hopefully the quality of the tools will improve. I've had variable results with Porter Cable. Some items, such as a circular saw and biscuit joiner are awesome. These drills are OK, but I think there are better models out there. I used to think the Porter Cable label ensured a high quality tool, but it pays to carefully compare I now know.

Summary: 1.3 amp battery
Comment: I have had a pair of these for years of continuous use. Very satisfied. I ordered this product mostly to get the batteries. Mine have a larger profile 2 amp battery.. This Item though pictured with a 2 amp battery came threw with puny and unlabelled 1.3 amp batteries . I checked with porter cable then returned this kids toy. Where can I get a good buy on batteries?

Summary: not too happy
Comment: After reading the other reviews I thought I'd put my 2 cents in. My wife gave me this drill/light combo for Christmas some time ago, and since have used it extensively. I am not a contractor, but do all my home improvement and many other projects myself, so this drill has been used, but not abused. I have to agree with the other comments, that I too am dissapointed in this drill. The chuck has slipped an uncountable number of times, and makes your hands hamburger tring to get it tight enough to grip any bit that is not a hex shaft. One day the drill started smoking from the side vents while I was drilling through pine 2 X 4's. I thought the motor had burnt out, but it appears to have been the battery...? I went out and purchased a Rigid 18v from the Home Depot, and am much more satisfied. I expected much more from PC equipment, and am truly very dissapointed. I have used my fathers cordless many times with no problems which is why I wanted one of my one, so you can see my frustration is not unwarranted. Caveat emptor....
