Powerful, Two-Speed Design For Versatility
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 3.5Ah 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.

What's in the Box

Summary : Great cordless drill/screwdriver for home projects!
I have owned several brands of cordless drill but have never been real impressed with the torque, or battery life. This Panasonic has more torque, is smaller and more compact, and has tremendous battery life. It is now my favorite tool. I have been recommending Panasonic to my neighbors. I never did that with any of the other brands.

Summary : You can't go wrong with a Panasonic screw gun.
I took this little bad boy out into the sugarbush last spring with 3 batteries and over 1,000 7/16 holes to drill in hard maple trees. The holes had to be about 2-1/2" deep. I used 2 of the batteries. If you ask me, there's no better cordless driver/drill than a Panasonic!

Summary : Panasonic cordlesses have become contagious in the building trades
I bought my first Panasonic cordless after ridiculing a co-worker who paid more for a used 9.6v Panasonic than the cost of a new Makita. He loaned it to me for an hour and the next day I bought a new 12v one for myself, and then shortly, another. Over the years many co-workers who borrowed mine have done the same.

I just bought 2 more of these. I use them in tandem a lot, so I buy them in pairs when the batteries start to need charging more than once a day. I have owned 6 others in the last 25 years (starting with the 12v) and each new one has been a solid improvement. My last double set of 3.0 Amp/Hr NiMH batteries lasted ll years. I buy new drills each time because a pair of replacement batteries costs only slightly less than the a new drill with 2 batteries, charger & case. Only one of these drills ever needed repair (chuck replacement--20 years ago) and none broke or wore out. I also own a nearly new 19.2v Craftsman/Ryobi drill that is surprisingly good for the price, but the torque and battery life seem little different from the 15.6v Panasonics plus it's heavy as an anchor, has a two-handed chuck and several is inches longer.

I'm not a brand-loyal person. Each time before rebuying I spent time in stores and online trying to find something as good as or better than Panasonic. A few have copied the auto-locking shaft that allows quick one-handed chuck tightening & loosening, and their competitors drills and batteries are way better than they once were, but for a powerful,lightweight, multi-purpose cordless drill they're still not there, and the few close competitors are now significantly more expensive (they used to be cheaper). Quick note: Amazon's price was the lowest I could find. I'm not retailer-loyal either.

You won't find Panasonics on display in Home Depots or most hardware stores, or in advertisements, nor even in many consumer reviews--few trade magazines will review a non-advertiser's product. (I've only seen one Panasonic-inclusive bench test review and in it their 15.6v cordless beat all the 18v models for battery life and torque, and got the editors' rave review.) Where you'll most likely find them mostly is in the hands of working professionals who use them regularly.

Summary : This drill gets 6 stars
My first Panasonic (EY6432NQKW) lasted 7 years under heavy use. Fabulous torque, battery life, ergonomics, balance. Not much of a factor in purchasing it, it's shorter length proved invaluable in many situations. This thing drives screws through several inches of dimension lumber for a long time on one battery charge. Very impressive. The chuck clutch finally gave out, but I quickly bought this new Panasonic, and also another mfgr's lithium model. The new Panasonic (like the old one) blows it away. My only complaint is that the batteries tended to fall off the drill in later years so I had to add a round of blue tape at battery changes. Admittedly, the drill dropped several feet a couple times to a hard surface. A slide-on battery would be a more robust approach. But it's the best drill out there none-the-less.
