They all have their strenghts and the best one depends on the use that you put it to. Having said that, it makes me crazy to see Amazon/Tool Crib recommend the 3/8" chucked version as the best choice. Why would anyone choose it over the 1/2" chuck when the price is the same or very close? Having the ability to use a 1/2" bit now and again is a huge advantage and calling the 3/8" version the best drill in its class is a huge mistake in my book.Just my two cents. Hopefully it changes someone's mind and makes the editor's rethink their selection. 62 of 68 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Porter-Cable 9876 14.4 Volt 3/8-Inch Cordless Drill Kit (Tools & Home Improvement) THIS DRILL IS AN EXCELLENT DRILL WITH EVERYTHING YOU WILL EVER NEED WITH ITS ELECT. BRAKE, 1 HOUR CHARGER, 360 IN/LBS OF TORQUE AND EXCELLENT BALANCE AND FEEL. AFTER DOING EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON DIFFERENT MAKES AND MODELS OF CORDLESS DRILLS THIS WAS THE BEST DRILL ON THE MARKET IN MY OPINION. TRY IT YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED. 32 of 33 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Porter-Cable 9876 14.4 Volt 3/8-Inch Cordless Drill Kit (Tools & Home Improvement) This drill motor is used in our appliance repair business and we also use it on the weekends as we rehab our 100 year old house. (We give the drill motor Sunday's off, but that's about it)It is the most powerful drill motor I've ever used. It is *superior* for driving screws (there are currently about 476,898 screws holding our old house together) and the battery lasts forever. When I say "driving screws" I mean DRIVING SCREWS. In our bathroom rehab, we used this PC Drill motor to drive several 4" x 1/4" lag bolts into tight old lumber and it did amazingly well. If you set the clutch at its highest setting, you can ring the heads right off screws. (if your hands are strong enough) It is *that* powerful a screw gun. This drill has been dropped, kicked, abused and it keeps on going. You can either buy a truck full of cheap-junk, frustrate-the-mess-out-of-you-low-rent drill motors, or you can buy ONE Porter Cable. We've been so impressed with...Read more |
