King of the 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Drivers
I have been working and playing with power tools almost all my life, I just turned 65. This Porter-Cable Cordless Drill/Driver has got to be the best one I've ever used. The weight and the way it fits in your hand is perfect. It's great the way Porter-Cable made a tool to respond to your commands so quickly and smoothly. The only drawback I could find is they didn't make a 15 minute charger like the guys who make that YELLOW drill.

drills ok
The drill is ok. Not as tough as I had hoped since a drop to the floor from waist level broke a piece of plastic on it. Good buy for the money but wish it was built like a hitachi.

Just OK.
I had worn out a fabulous Porter-Cable 14.4v cordless drill. I had used and abused it, great batteries, great power. My family got me this 19.2v model as a replacement. It works well, lots of power, etc... but the battery life is very poor, a fraction of my previous tool. I wouldn't buy it again.

Hope your battery lasts
Just bought this drill a few weeks ago (dec. 2006) I wanted to find out the cost of a replacement battery (for futute reference) Porter cable doesn't "have any left" there are two in dallas and mabe a few in detroit. Yes, this battery has been discontinued but the drill hasn't. No, there isn't another battery you can use (three different sources). So, why buy a great drill that you'll have to throw away with your "drill master" in two years, because the battery is beat? Your choice. Why two stars and not one? Because it is a very nice drill. Oh yea,spoke with porter cable they don't know why they did this.. Mabe it was the move to Taiwan

Best cordless on the market today
Fantastic item with plenty of power, durability, and long battery life. Is used in construction, and does the job very well.
