 Panasonic 15.6v Nov 02, 2008
This is a great drill. I have purchased 4. The main reason, it was a better deal to buy an entire kit rather than a relacement bat. and charger.
It's the Batteries! Oct 11, 2008
I have owned this drill for years and it is still awesome. The power and run time are fantastic. It is a bit heavy and unbalanced compared to my Makita 14v drill but it has more torque by far.
After tennis/ carpenter's elbow problems I look for the lightest tools and use a 14v makita impacter for screws and light drilling. It's small, light, balanced, and easy on the old arm.
The Panasonic is a staple in my shop these days. Why plug in?
we use these in factory production Sep 27, 2008
we've bought dozens of battery drills, we have had the best luck with the panasonic battery drills. we really abuse them and they hold up well, considering. the absolute worse drill we've ever bought ( 4 of 'em) was the Ridgid 18Volt battery drill.

 Great tool in its time Sep 20, 2008
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. However, on visiting this site and reading some reviews giving it high praise, I found myself disagreeing. Not that it was not a great tool in its day, but in my tool box it has been replaced by an impact driver. A 14.4 impact driver, in my case a Makita, is just the tool of choice for high torque applications. It is far easier to use and 1.5 lbs lighter. For light duty jobs, the weight and bulk of the Pany works against it. This Pany only sees use on rare occassions now.
For these reasons one needs to consider it in relation today's alternatives.
One Year Later Sep 20, 2008
I purchased this drill in August 2007. I've used it periodically on various household repairs and projects. Some demanding, others easy for a 15.6v drill. It is a top-notch performer. However, THIS is what really surprised me: battery life! I charged it once on August 8, 2007. It retained enough charge through all those small jobs that the first time I had to recharge a battery was today, Sept. 20, 2008. The battery held up for over a year! Amazing! I actually had to search my house to find the charger. Recommended.
