This review is from: Panasonic EY7960LZ2S 21.6-Volt IP56 Li-ion Hammer Drill & Driver Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)
Having dropped and broken my 22 year old 12 volt Panasonic drill driver I thought it was time to upgrade, so having been very satisfied with the Panasonic I searched and found the EY9760 it was expensive even at Amazon prices but it was nearly Christmas!
The drill arrived and after fully charging the batteries I tried it out. 4" #12 screw straight into a 2x4 no problem! 3/4" hole through the 4" part of a 2x4 no problem! 1/2" hole through a 3" brick and then a 2" concrete Paver no problem! Building 2-12 x 8' frames for some windows no problem! All on the same battery.
Likes - so far mostly everything
Dislikes- not sure about the led light mounted on the battery and having to be manually turned on and off, and it is expensive but I guess you have to pay for a real tool!
