 The EY6432GQKW is ideal for general construction, plumbing, electrical installation work and finish carpentry. View larger. |
This powerful 15.6-volt drill driver delivers a maximum of 390 inch-pounds of full-time torque, so you can be confident that it will get tough jobs done while letting you maintain control. And with a two-speed gearbox, you can ensure that you're using this tool smartly and effectively.
The low-speed setting of 65 to 450 rpm is ideal for tough jobs requiring high torque, such as drilling with large bits and driving screws in a controlled manner, while a high-speed of 200 to 1450 rpm is great for more general drilling and fastening in metal.
18-Speed Clutch for Tackling Tough Jobs
The EY6432GQKW is also equipped with an 18-stage clutch. This clutch system 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 torque is available for a variety of applications. This helps prevent driving screws too far, snapping them off, and damaging materials as you work.
Thoughtful, Ergonomic Construction for Ease of Use
A well-balanced tool like this drill driver is easier to work with, and it allows you to work long hours more comfortably. The EY6432GQKW measures a compact 8-3/16 inches in length and weighs less than five pounds. Ideal for both right- and left-handed users, this tool's ergonomic design includes a comfortable, contoured rubber grip to reduce fatigue during extended use. And convenient placement of the variable speed control trigger and forward/reverse switch permits simple, one-handed operation.
A heavy-duty keyless chuck means that a lost chuck key will never bring your work to a standstill again. And it makes changing bits fast and easy, which is important if you switch tasks often or wear protective gloves on the job.
Reliable, Quick-Charge Battery Power
Effective battery power means no more tangled extension cords that can limit your movement or cause a safety hazard. That's why this Panasonic drill driver is powered by a 3.3Ah Ni-MH battery pack that can be fully charged in just 55 minutes. This high-tech battery is industry exclusive, with 75-percent more capacity than the 2.0Ah Ni-Cd batteries that come with many standard drills.
This means less time spent waiting and more time spent working. And even when there isn't time for a full charge, the inverter charger features an "Emergency Charge" function that charges the pack to 15-percent of its full capacity in just five minutes.
This kit comes with a convenient second battery pack, so you don't have to worry about buying one separately.

The Panasonic's 390 inch pounds is sufficient for most drilling and driving applications. However, putting things in perspective, my DeWalt DW235G 1/2" Heavy Duty 7.8 Amp corded drill has much more torque; so don't buy a cordless drill thinking you will have the "most powerful" tool. Chuck. Terrific one-handed keyless chuck will tightly hold any bit, from tiny 1/16 inch round bits to 1/2 inch bits. Very quick to change out bits, even with one hand. My Panasonic chuck wobbles a tad and sometimes the shaft turns 1/2 revolution or so when trying to tighten the chuck, before it locks in place. (One Panasonic reviewer said "It is difficult to center small bits in the chuck"; probably a result of the chuck being...Read more 112 of 121 people found the following review helpful: Awesome, By Jonathan Peck (New York, N.Y) - See all my reviews This review is from: Panasonic EY6432GQKW 15.6-Volt 3.3Ah NiMH 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit (Tools & Home Improvement) Shear power. At 390in./lbs. of torque I have been having trouble trying not to shear the heads off of galvanized screws (pre-drilled w/countersink). I've tried both speeds, and all of the clutch settings. This has forced me to drive screws 7/8 of the way home and finish off the deal by hand. I just finished using this Panasonic to drill 3/4" x 2 3/8" deep holes into a hardwood workbench for bench dogs. The Panasonic maintains constant speed under strain, and while getting hot, it did not overheat. The only reason I would need to stop was to let the fostner bit cool down. The 3.5 amp NiMH batteries are A+++++. The kit comes with two, so you always have one in the ready. One charge lasts a full day under heavy use. The drill is well balanced and has good ergonomics. The electronic brake stops on a dime. This can't be good for the brushes, but no problems so far. I like the weight of this drill, it is substantial but not too heavy. The best feature of all - SMALL DRILL...Read more 48 of 49 people found the following review helpful: Best overall drill, By This review is from: Panasonic EY6432GQKW 15.6-Volt 3.3Ah NiMH 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit (Tools & Home Improvement) I'd been waiting for years for the perfect overall drill to come into my workshop. I have a brother that sells power tools for a living and he told me about this Panasonic drill that he liked better than all the rest of the pack. The couple of selling points he had was the high torque at ANY SPEED... pull the trigger a bit to turn a screw in slowly even when the going gets tough... and the almost never-ending power supply of 3.5 Amp hours... that's enough power to run a halogen light for 75 minutes! I recently put in an entire subfloor on one charge, the battery just doesn't quit. Note of caution: the chuck has an anti-loosen mechanism that while loosening or tightening makes a pretty loud whine... or ratchteting click when hand turning.. but it pays off.. my bits never loosen while on my milwaukee it happens any time i bump the chuck while loosening screws. I lucked out in the timing of my purchase.. they just came out with the 3.5AH battery.. it uses squared off battery cells to...Read more |
