Product Review
Amazon.com Review
Imagine the feel of 385 inch-pounds of torque in compact package. That's what this great drill/driver delivers in the lock-up position, powered by a 12-volt battery. Because of the two-speed gearbox, you've got drill speed ranges of 0 to 425 rpm and 0 to 1,300 rpm. Its 1/2-inch chuck is keyless, and the 20-position clutch takes care of drilling into all kinds of material. You'll never regret a Porter-Cable purchase; their drills are among the best on the market. But here's one more reason to go with this model if you're in the market for a cordless drill/driver: the interchangeable Grip-to-Fit handle inserts. Having grappled with tools handles that were too big to control, we think this system is a great idea. There are manly sized grips included, of course, but for the woman woodworker or cabinetmaker, welcome to a delight--small grips! You just can't go wrong with this. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste
Amazon.com Product Description
The 12-Volt Ni-Cad Grip-to-Fit 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver by Porter Cable is a powerful cordless tool that delivers 385 in./lbs. of torque. This ergonomically designed drill/driver features three removable soft-grip inserts around the handle for a comfortable custom fit, a two-speed gearbox for slower, higher torque applications and faster, rapid drilling and driving applications. The keyless 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck is made of durable steel and allows for quick and easy bit changing. The tool comes with two 12-volt rechargeable batteries, a battery charger, a double-ended bit, and a shock resistant carrying case.

Summary: Poor Customer Service 2009-05-06
Comment: They do not service their own items and the companies that do are few and far between. The balance of quality and power are not equal. If you push this drill to operate as it is advertised you will ruin it. Mine sparks everytime I let go of the trigger. It has been used four times and all of the drilling was into soft woods. Buy a Dewalt if you want a quality cordless drill.

Summary: broken gear box 2009-04-14
Comment: I have the previous all plastic case version of this tool. It has given good service since 1999. I wore out the second set of batteries and bought the 9966 because the batteries were compatible with my old tool.
The new PC drill has been used maybe 10X. It looks near new. The gear box broke and it won't shift into low gear. The metal case also cracked by the gear shift.
I used the heck out of the old tool and it still runs strong. This new replacement is a downgrade. The gear box should not break.
Glad the new warranty is 3 years. Now hope it can be repaired.
I would not buy one of these. After thinking about it, it seems a very stupid idea to use die cast or injection moulded metal in an application that is expected to receive impact loading such as a portable power tool.

Summary: Very good buy at this sale price. 2008-12-27
Comment: At the greatly reduced sales price, this is a quality product that will outlast several "homeowner quality" consumer products many times over. Bought it as a gift for my son, and should last him his lifetime.

Comment: Very Good Drill. It has much more torque than others I have had. I don't know how I got along without it!

Summary: professional tool 2007-07-15
Comment: I have had my PC 12V drill for 8 years medium use. Excellent power/weight ratio with no need for more voltage. Replaced one battery at 3years and replaced the replacement last month. One of the original batteries is still going strong. The only downside is the battery replacement cost is high.
