This is the first cordless drill that I purchased and I am quite amazed at the power this drill has for its size. Just select the torque and this drill just goes through anything you put in front of it. Additionally, this drill has a hammer drill mode, select this mode and drilling a hole in concrete, brick or stone is just an after thought. This is a sturdy drill, it stood up to drops and continual use at the jobsite. It handles auger bits and goes through a 4×4 post like a hot knife through butter. This drill comes with a carrying case with a compartment to store drill and driver bits. Comes with a battery charger and extra battery to keep you drilling til you get tired. The chargers takes about an hour to fully charge a battery. If you need a drill that can handle the biggest to the smallest jobs this drill is the one for you.

I’ve used many cordless drills in my time and Porter Cable has been my favorite brand of all. This drill is replacing my old 12 volt Porter Cable drill that has given me many years of great service.n

This drill features a “Hammer Drill” feature that is great for masonry work. It is also a regular drill and bit driver. There is torque to spare and a handle brace that screws into the side for extra support when the torque gets overwhelming or just for extra steadiness.n

The grip comes with different size inserts for different size hands. A very nice extra!n

You won’t be sorry with this drill. The trigger is very smooth and it’s easy to control the speed of the drill. I think it also looks better than the other bizzare coloring and designs some of the other manufacturers use. This looks, feels, and acts like a professional tool.

You can’t go wrong with Porter-Cable tools. Always reliable, and great value for an honest price. You can pay more for “Ultra-Power DesignerPro” brands, and they work well too. But not “better”. Buy ***American Made*** Porter-Cable, and you will have money left for more tools, and the pride of supporting USA!

I have used this thing for five years and it is wonderful. I use it for concrete and masonry drilling as well as wood. It also works very well as a driver. The variable speed trigger and the torque setting make it a breeze to use. Batteries are easily changed and the included charger is very quick. An hour or less. Came with two batteries so while using one the other is charging. Never wanted an upgrade to more powerful drivers and this does everything I ask of it. Porter Cable did it right with this tool.n

I would recommend this drill to anyone – from the homeowner for occasional use, to the professional who needs an everyday drill. I owned this drill for years until both of the batteries finally lost their charge (Because they are so expensive to replace, I opted for an “upgrade”…). Before this drill I owned the non-hammerdrill 14.4v version, and both were great workhorses. When the PC batteries died, I sold the drill on craigslist and decided to upgrade to the Hitachi 18v hammerdrill. What a disappointment. The PC had nearly the same power (torque) but was much lighter to carry around. As a home remodeler, I lug my drill around all day every day and I now appreciate the lighter weight of the old PC. (see my review on the Hitachi for it’s many other faults). The PC is well balanced in your hand, the grip-to-fit is nice, although I just stayed with the Medium fitting that it came with, and the battery life seems average. I lent this drill to a, a-hem, friend, once and it was returned with stripped gears. Being under warranty, the service shop was able to replace the broken parts for free and the drill rocked for many moons to follow. Again, highly recommended.
