Best tool I've ever owned December 10, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I had been hearing all of the "hype" about impact type screw drivers. I looked at a variety of models including Dewalt (I own mostly their products), Bosh, etc. I found a review of the Panasonic and liked the great review PLUS I really liked the idea of having an impact driver with an electronic torque setting feature. This tool has NOT disappointed me. I love the electronic torque setting as well as the electronic settings for how hard the anvil will strike and the ability to toggle the trigger to have it do just one more blow to the screw/bolt.
In the past, I've always used my Dewalt electric screwdriver for everything, including installing lag bolts. After putting in a fairly large deck with the Dewalt screwdriver, I had a sore wrist and elbow for a week because of the kickback every time a screw tightened. That's the beauty of this impact wrench. Whether you are driving 5 inch long lag bolts or a 1 inch #6 wood screw, it does the job with no pain the next day. The anvil does all of the work so as the bolts or screws are tightened, there is no kickback to rattle your bones.
I also appreciate the light that highlights the fastener you are driving, the variable speed trigger, and the ease in reversing direction. I was a little concerned about it only having a 12 volt battery but as others have said, it hold a charge for a very long time and has the power to drive anything I've come up against.
The only negative is my wife is getting tired after a year of hearing me say "this is the best tool I've ever owned" and "buying this tool was the best decision I've ever made!".
I love my new impact driver August 15, 2006

I bought this impact driver about 4 months ago and so far its served me very well. I love all of its features, the light comes in handy whenever the need arises, the belt hook is a life saver for me, and the battery lasts normally about 4 to 5 days until I have to charge it again. Not to mention the fact that it has three speeds, a screw tighten up feature and a digital cluth that works great. I'm an HVAC installer/tech guy and this tool has made my job alot easier. This thing even drills out 1 1/4" holes with my spade bit with ease. Lots of power for a 12 volt tool
very nice July 4, 2006

I have owned the panasonic 12v drill for years. This driver has even more features than I expected. Much nicer than the comparable Makita. Panasonic drills and driver are recommended. they are the best.

I'd read many positive magazine reviews and owner reviews for this driver before I ordered it. I expected the best, and so far, it's been a real treat. But not in the way I anticipated.
For the past 15 years, I've been successfully using my Panasonic cordless drills as drivers, because they "can." I suspect that they're strong enough to "turn some of the cheaper cordless drills backwards..." But, due to the unfortunate economics of battery replacement, I usually replace them when the battery stops taking a charge. I've never "worn out" or broken any of my Panasonic cordless drills.
But back to the driver... it has a completely different operating "feel" than any cordless drill (which, in retrospect, should have been obvious to me). And it's taken some getting used to. For example, it doesn't want to bog down when pushed to its limit. It just keeps plugging away, trying to further seat the fastener. I initially had to be careful, to keep it from overtightening the work. (I also spun off a few screw heads). But after a brief trial and error period, and experimenting with the different clutch settings and speeds, I became much more familiar with its capabilities. And it automatically became a much more valuable tool. Now, I almost exclusively use this driver to drive and loosen fasteners. My other cordless drills are relegated to doing actual "drilling."
All in all, it's a super tool. Especially if your work tends to be mostly fastening.
And by the way, I had to read the manual to figure out what that lever "thing" was, on the bottom of the handgrip.
Down with America! November 21, 2005

First off, don't even think about buying an American made impact driver. Japanese products, as everyone knows are made better than American products - the same goes for power tools.
Some people swear by Hilti, and Dewalt and other such 'Merican power tools. These are the same people that are convinced that a Ford F150 is more reliable than a Toyota Tacoma.
The Japanese just make better products. With that said, I must say that this gun spanks ANY other product out there. The closest competition is the Hitachi line of impact drivers. True, Hitachi invented this type of driver, but Panasonic seems to have improved and refined it. The Panasonic boasts a useful headlight, yes it is helpful! It has a digital clutch so u can easily dial in your settings, gentle for drywall/finishing, middle for framing, and max for ripping the lug nuts off of your Toyota Tacoma (or Ford F150). Yes its true, attach the 3/4 square socket attachment, and tear off bolts with ease. And the pound them back on! Impressive to say the least!
The power is more than there, need to drill a hole, pop in a drill bit, need to bore, add a spade, the hammer action of the gun just rips through anything! One of the best parts about the set up is the superior battery life, the Hitachi can't compare here. Panasonic is a leader in the battery industry and has the advantage here with the 3.5amp pattery packs. This gun is ready for work.
It feels good in the hand, light weight enough so that you'll easlly forget its in one of your tool belt pockets. After you get this you'll have no need for a regular drill again, there is no comparison!
