Experience:
I have always admired the Panasonic screw guns I’ve used so I bought one of my own. This thing is a beauty. It’s small size and smooth workings set it apart from my regular heavy-duty drill drivers. I’ve kept the Panasonic in my workshop, preferring to enjoy it’s quality on my home projects than subject it to the abuse of my workplace.
Comments:
Probably because I liked tool so much did it suffer the highest fall of any screw gun I’ve dropped. About 16′ above my solid oak flooring is where I let go off this one as my ladder slid out from under me. Once upon my feet, I noticed the my prized Panasonic made a decent dent in the floor before bouncing into an antique, gouging it’s mahogany face. I re-inserted the battery and it worked fine and has for years since.
Wow, The Panasonic cordless drills are expensive! I’ve used one for a few years now and have used many other brands. I have recommended a Panasonic to co-workers, friends and homeowners over any other brand. Whether it’s your first or another drill in your collection, I doubt you’ll be disappointed with this one. It’s one smooth operating tool. It’s not a 32v killer but it is indicative of the smooth workings of a Panasonic cordless drill/driver and it’s not a wimp, touting up to 390 in.lbs. of torque. I love it.

[...] Comments: On the positive side, This screwgun still seems to give 100% and it’s still using the original batteries. (I’ve been through three Apple Powerbook batteries in less time.) The chuck on the Porter-Cable 878 is outdated by current standards, being the kind requiring two hands to adjust. There’s nothing really special about this Porter-Cable drill except that it’s been through so much and it’s still driving in decking screws. It beats my Makita hands down for durability and performance but it’s not as smooth or precise as my Panasonic. [...]
