I am a licensed, professional home repair contractor and tools are something I make a living with. Buying tools that break down and do not do the job I need them for end up costing me time as well as money. The Panasonic 14.4-Volt Impact Driver is superior to any other impact/driver I have ever used. I own a Hitachi as well as a Makita and they cannot perform even half as well as this Panasonic. I've done my research and every consumer product rating agency out there has rated these Panasonic drill drivers superior to their competitors and now I know why. Their speed is adjustable, with or without a light illuminating the business end of the tool as well as consistent power to to the job when you need it. Plus it also has a dial telling you how much power you have left on a charge. Which means you don't have to get to the top of an extension ladder or inside of a crawl-space to learn your battery charge has expired. Take it from this professional, you won't be sorry with this tool. As a bonus in this kit (ECY142B) you also get a drill driver and a flashlight and if you order before October 15, 2008 you can also send for a free third battery.

The Panasonic 14.4-Volt Li-ion Drill Driver and Impact Driver Kit brings you a pair of powerful tools that are easy to hold and control. Whether you're driving screws, working with tricky fasteners, or drilling through tough materials, these tools are ready to help you get professional results. And both of them run on dependable, quick-charge batteries that are protected by PanasonicÆs unique GuardION system.
Versatile, Dependable Two-Speed Drill DriverIdeal for completing plumbing or electrical installation work, finish carpentry tasks, and general construction projects, this 14.4-volt drill driver from Panasonic delivers 390 inch-pounds of full torque at any speed, so you can be confident that it will get tough jobs done. And with a two-speed gearbox, you can ensure that you're using this tool smartly and effectively. The ability to select high and low speeds to meet the specific demands of different jobs helps prevent you from damaging work materials, saving you frustration and money, and it prolongs the life of your tool.
This drill driver is also equipped with an 18-stage clutch plus drill position. This clutch helps ensure accuracy and control while you're working, and it further extends the life of your drill driver by making sure the correct amount of power is available for a variety of applications.
Other features include a 1/2-inch, heavy-duty keyless chuck, which makes changing bits quick and easy; an electric brake; and a handy belt hook for easy storage when both your hands are occupied with other tasks. The drill driver has compact size of seven inches and weighs only 3.5 pounds.
Time- and Energy-Saving Impact DriverNot all fastening projects are created equal--that's why it makes sense to use an impact driver for repetitive tasks, driving long wood screws, and lag screw fastening, not to mention driving nuts and loosening tough bolts. Unlike traditional screwdrivers, impact drivers like the one in this kit use both bit rotation and concussive blows to drive screws through the toughest materials quickly and efficiently. This makes an impact driver invaluable for jobs like air conditioning installation, automotive repair and assembly, or assembling and disassembling scaffolding.
The impact driver in this kit puts up to 1330 inch-pounds of torque at your disposal, preventing wear-and-tear on your body and helping you get big projects done in no time. With the choice of three speeds, you can customize the driver's performance to meet the needs of different jobs. And at just 6.5 inches in length and weighing 3.1 pounds, this driver fits neatly in tight spaces, which is equally valuable when you are tightening bolts in awkward places and when you're organizing your work truck at the end of the day.
Behind the reliability of this impact tool is a variety of advanced Panasonic technology, including a brushless motor that delivers twice the lifespan of a conventional brush motor. This motor runs cooler than a brush motor, and it offers improved efficiency, resulting in longer run time per battery charge.
This impact driver also makes use of an advanced electronic switch, which delivers twice the lifespan of a conventional switch by reducing the amount of current running through the switch as you work.
Ergonomic Features Keep You Comfortable and ProductiveEach of these tools offers a compact, ergonomic design that reduces fatigue, so you can tackle big jobs that require repetitive screw driving or drilling without worrying about discomfort. Well balanced with comfortable rubber grips, these tools fit neatly in your hands, and they offer conveniently placed controls for intuitive operation.
They each offer an LED work light that illuminates your work area, allowing you to secure materials accurately under dimly lit conditions.
Reliable, Quick-Charge Battery PowerEffective battery power means no more tangled extension cords that can limit your movement or cause a tripping hazard. That's why both these Panasonic tools are powered by 3.0Ah Cobalt Li-ion battery packs that can be fully charged in just 50 minutes.
These battery packs delivers high output with low heat generation, resulting in twice the lifetime total performance of current Ni-Cd battery packs, which you might see used with similar drills.
In addition, these tools utilize Panasonic's unique GuardION system. Panasonic's unique GuardION system monitors each battery cell during battery charging and during tool use to prevent over-discharging and overheating of your battery packs, ensuring long battery life so that your tools are ready to go when you reach for them.
The included universal charger can be used to charge all Panasonic battery chemistries, including Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, and Li-ion, and all voltages from 7.2 to 24 volts.
A versatile flashlight and a molded plastic case for easy transport and storage of your tools are also included with this kit.

Milwaukee 1676-6 Hole Hawg 7.5 Amp 1/2-Inch Joist and Stud Drill Review

Milwaukee 1676-6 Hole Hawg 7.5 Amp 1/2-Inch Joist and Stud Drill
Average Reviews:

I have been building my own house for the past four months. I have sub contracted some of the trades but electrical I did myself. An electrician friend of mine helped me lay things out and got me started. He also gave me some great advice when he told me to buy a hole hawg. Equipped with a ship auger bit, you can drill out an entire wall in the time it would take you to drill one stud with a 3/8" drill and a spade bit. This drill is very heavy and obviously well made. It has all kinds of power even in the high range. When you shift it into low range you have to be careful you don't injure yourself if the drill bit binds and the drill kicks back. They don't call it the wrist breaker for no reason!
I judge tools based not on appearance but on productivity and usefulness. I work a full time job on top of building a house, and my time on the job site has to be efficiently spent because I don't have a lot of it. This tool made doing the electrical work possible because it allowed me to get a LOT of work done in a short period of time. I'd still be drilling holes for my home runs had I scrimped and used my 3/8" or even 1/2" hole shooter. The bottom line is Time = Money, and this drill is a time saving work horse. I highly recommend it to any one who has a lot of holes to drill. It is a high quality piece of machinery.

Over the years i have used nearly every brand of cordless tool imaginable. There has always been advantages and disadvantages to each. Not with the Makita LXT line though. I own the Drill/Driver and the impact driver and each is everything advertised. They are lighter than other 18v models. They are tough, the battery charge lasts at least twice as long as any I have ever used and four times longer than the craftsman I upgraded from. If you can swallow the price, buy this tool it is worth every penny.
