Porter cable 12v drill

[dandan111]

Got a new drill. I went a little cheap. My old makita 14.4 volt batteries were toast and I thought it was time to update. @ $62 This seems like a good value for around the house. It's a refurbished one. Nice size and it feels pretty good.

Anybody else using 12 volt lithium?

I have a 12v (m12) milwaukee lithium that looks very similar.
Its way more powerful than my old 18v ryobi and is less than half the size.
You will be happy with that setup.

I wonder if Bosch and porter cable are made at the same place? They look the same. Milwaukee makes a nice drill. Almost went with one. Cordless screwdriver at work lasts forever and holds power real good through battery life.

Used this to install shelves today. It's got some power. Ran 2 inch screws no problem. Haven't got the clutch setting perfect yet but the slow speed is just right. I read some complaints about the chuck. It seems just fine to me.
