Go Green!
Let’s get the visual appearance out of the way first, shall we? Not everyone is going to like the high tech look of this tool (although I personally happen to love it). If you look at other Japanese power tool manufacturers such as Makita and Panasonic you’ll see they are also using [...]

Powerful, fast. Wobbling chuck
I compared this drill with Milwaukee 0824-20 and it is much faster and powerful than Milwaukee. Makita took 39 secs to drill a 1/2 inch hole in 4 inch concrete block (not hollow). Milwaukee did the job on 52 sec.
Both Batteries drilled 5 holes and then died. Milwaukee is super heavy makita [...]

Bosch PS40-2 10.8-Volt, Nearly Perfect

Nearly Perfect
I’ve had the PS40 for over six months now and find it to be an excellent driver - nearly perfect.
At first I was put off by the noise of the impact mechanism, but after drilling hundreds of deck screws I came to appreciate the tremendous amount of torque available. More torque [...]

Panasonic EY6220B, Still going after 16 years

Still going after 16 years
I’ve owned mine since 1994, and I’ve used it hard many times, and also I’ve left it in storage for long periods. Both extreme use and non-use can be challenging for any product, but this driver keeps working, widthstanding abuse even. Over the years, I’ve had to replace the batteries [...]
