I have used Panasonic cordless drills for 10+ years now and can tell you that they are by far the best cordless product out there.I have a 15.6 volt drill and have used and abused it for 7 years and it still works flawlessly. Would highly recommend getting a cordless Panasonic.

I just received this set for putting up kitchen cabs and also used for drilling those pesky screws into cbu's. batteries last forever and ever. also charges my 18v panasonic batts in about an hour which is a plus. impact drill is super powerful and has good build quality. interesting that it is made in Japan and the drill is made in Mexico but both seem to be sturdy enough to withstand abuse.all in all I recommend.

I was very sceptical even after reading glowing reviews. Have gone from sceptic to advocate since using impact. I already owned a Sears Craftsman 14.4V impact and was quite impressed with it but became interested in the ability to adjust the torque on this tool. Let me say that I LOVE this feature. Even though the instruction manual says not to use it on sheet metal, supposedly because the torque might strip screws, I haven't had any problem. I simply set the torque setting to 1 and the impact setting to Soft and use the "one shot impact" setting and install whatever. I recently installed the electrical plate and front base cover to our new dishwasher. Also installed doors and roller freezer compartment on our new LG bottom freezer fridge and had no problem. Also removed and later installed 5 ash cabinet doors and barely stripped one screw which was probably stripped years ago by builder. Shaved 1/2 inch end of a toothpick, stuck it in the hole and zip, drove it home, snug and no strip. Used lowest setting on torque and impact for these small chores and tool made child's play out of it. Also use a magnetic hex extension to hold screws on bit with no hands(Sears sells one with extra strong magnet, it's great) The manual is typically a little squirlley but the tool is just the opposite. It is serious. This tool makes me look for chances to drive a screw. Buy it! Love it!

Wanted Panasonic, because reviews were good. This set was on sale locally (I would have just bought one 15.6, top rated). Glad I went for this instead. Exceeded all expectations. I pull them both out for any job; one as drill and one as screwdriver (they are lightweight and no changing bits). I do quite a bit of around the house car/motorcycle/woodworking projects. Especially helpful is the screwdriver's fast coupling, which you can buy drill bits for, and the screwdriver's headlight. They feel incredibly natural in the hand and are very fun and effective. They are strong enough for almost any job (had to pull out the corded only once) and I've used them for about one year now and have yet to recharge the batteries! They make my old Makita look worthless. Don't hesitate.

I was introduced to this product by my usual salesman at a local contractor store. He sells a lot of these and had only good things to say about the kit. He actually steered me away from the Makita set which initially got me in the store. I would have purchased the Panasonic from him, but Amazon's price was so much lower that he could not match it. I also purchased the matching 12v flashlight and I am happy with it as well.

I bought this combo set from Amazon in Setpember and I am very pleased with both products. Although I bought it primarily for the impact driver, I use the drill more and really like it. It has replaced my bosch 14.4 volt drill and it has more power even though it is 12 volt. It also has better control over the range of speeds. Both tools are great. I was lucky and got a sale price so I really feel I got good value.
