Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)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.

Ideal 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 Driver
Not 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 Productive
Each 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 Power
Effective 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.
