This drill does it all! June 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm in the process of building a house and this drill is one of my star tools. It can put over 200 5/8" holes through 2 pieces of 2x treated lumber on a single battery charge. Plus it has the torque to handle self threading auger bits with ease. The extra handle is easy to adjust and remove and the compact dimensions meant I only had to break out the right angle drill for a couple of holes. I've also used the 15.6 V baby brother to this drill and have nothing but praise for it too. For my own collection I decided to spend the little bit extra for this model for it's extra torque and power. The difference in weight between the two is not that great.
best cordless drill April 23, 2008
This drill is the best cordless I have used, and I have used Black and Decker, and Dewalt.
The power is unequaled.
I am so glad I bought this drill!!
Wouldn't have expected it August 23, 2007
This drill puts all others to shame. I have worked with them all over the last 27 years and feel comfortable saying that so far this is the best. It was recommended by a fellow cabinetmaker that had been through the same battery and inconsistent wows. I found his recommendation hard to believe but he was very adamant about it, and now I know why.
This is THE cordless drill!!! July 9, 2007

I've owned DeWalt 9.6V - a nice way to start, an Hitachi 14.4V - a better way to continue and now the only way to finish, a Panasonic 18V. Check out the specs of the likes of Metabo, Makita, Ramset, AEG, Hitachi, DeWalt etc and you'll find the highest battery rating is 2.5AH. This little beauty, and its equally impressive young brother the 15.6V, use nothing less than 3.5AH batteries - that's one hell of a lot more grunt to do REAL work. Apart from this it is a beautiful piece of equipment - maybe a bit heavy (but it is 18V) but beautifully balanced.
Excellent Drill May 18, 2007

I have been searching for a drill to replace my aging 12 volt Dewalt, a drill I had been fairly happy with. I looked at the new 18 volt Dewalts, and was not that impressed, their quality has seemed to decline. I really liked the Milwaukee, but it was too heavy and cumbersome for the projects I work on. Luckily a friend has a 15.6 volt Panasonic. I was very impressed. The 15.6 volt was more powerful than another friends 18 volt Ridgid. Then the 18 volt Panasonic has to comparable to the 19.2 and 24 volt other brands right? So along those lines I purchased the EY6450. (At first I wanted a Metabo Lithium Ion 18 volt drill, but the high price and no local sales/service center and lackluster reviews turned me away.) This drill is awesome. I put it on the scale. Only 5 ounces heavier than my 12 volt Dewalt. This drill is very powerful, be careful sinking screws into furniture. Battery life has been excellent, usually lasting 3 nights in the workshop before needing a recharge.
The chuck took a little getting used to, with the weird ratcheting noise, but it seems to grip small bits well. The chuck holds drill bits much better than the Jacobs on my Dewalt. This drill is the best cordless drill I have used. Period. While my use is not Industry/Construction, I use it daily. A note on battery price. The last time I purchased batteries for my 12 volt Dewalt (2 years ago) they cost $88 a piece. For NiCad's. The Panasonic NIMH batteries are $110. A much better value in my opinion. Highest possible recomendation.
