Grip texture & shape are both uncomfortable.

Would Recommend

I'm a male and have large hands and a strong grip. This pc drill is a great value and is great around the house. Fact... The two new 20V batteries easily charged within 60-90 minutes. Fact....There is no issue with the drill bits not tightening in the pc 1/2" plastic chuck. This 1/2" chuck has some sort of built in locking feature that makes is easy to secure drill bits. (Purchased mine 10/20/16) The plastic clutch looks and feels like plastic and works well so far. I easily put together a simp...

A good drill at a great sale price.

Would Recommend

Of the three cordless drills I own, I consider Milwaukee the best, Dewalt next best and Porter Cable after that. This rating may change as they age. All the other brands (less expensive) I have owned over the years, fail to compare to these. I have to exclude an opinion on Bosch and Makita as I have never owned their version of cordless drills.

Good Unit

Would Recommend

I am very pleased with the drill. It takes a short time to charge the batteries and they seem to last a good long time. It has power to do the job it was designed for. I am happy with the purchase.

Best Drill For The Money

Would Recommend

These drills are a great by for the price! I am a contractor and use them every day. Great battery life and plenty of strength. I have actually changed all of my drills to Porter Cable.

Bit slips and falls out on higher speed

Would Not Recommend

Purchased this drill to replace a ten year Black & Decker. Very disappointed in using since the chuck does not have the clamping power to securely hold drill bits. I find that when drilling through certain woods like green framing lumber the bit will start to slip in the chuck and require a few attempts at retightening to get the bit to turn back out. Forget drilling through 1/4" steel or aluminum as the bit will slip almost every time. The longer you own the drill, the worse it gets. Really dis...

Very good drill

Would Recommend

Replaced my old 18v Ni Cad drill with this new 20v Lithium Ion battery drill. Ni Cads would no longer hold a charge. This drill has all the features you would need at a great price.

Could use a better chuck

Would Recommend

Got this drill last year to replace my tired old Dewalt and after using it for almost a year I can give it a fair review. First, I found the batteries are decent and give the drill more than enough run time for projects around the house but don't expect to do an all day project without being charged a few times . Second, the power of the drill is adequate for most tasks, even drilling through steel. Third, and the weak link with this drill, the chuck. The chuck does not have the clamping power t...

Very Light Weight

Would Recommend

What a switch from the 18 Volt NiCad drill driver , the Li ion is so very compact and light but it will still burn you while keeping a bit tight. I like that it is smaller than my other drill/driver and has the same light that comes on with the switch. I didn't like that the auto stop may loosen the bit in the chuck. All I wanted was a new Drill/ Driver battery so when this was on sale cheaper than a new battery and it came with two batteries and charger what a deal.

Great Drill at a great price

Would Recommend

I purchased this drill for $75 on Black Friday. I've been using an older Craftsman 19.2 volt Nicad battery drill for years. This is a great drill for the money. The power and ergonomics of this drill make it worth every penny. I wish I had bought this sooner. The best feature I think, in regards to the lithium ion battery is the relentless power right up until the battery needs to be recharged. No more lulls in power as the battery life fades. My only regret is not purchasing this sooner. Porter...
