Pros: Quality construction, durable, quick change chucks, 1/2" drive fits all my sockets (with some reducers)
Cons: Price new seems a bit steep, since it never seems to be on sale.

Pros: Well-built, balanced, compact, torquey, long battery life
Cons: Pricey
Summary: My Makita 9.6v was getting old and very tired, so about a year ago I bought the Panasonic. What a night and day difference. Balances great, plenty of torque, no battery memory problems. The chuck does take a bit more precision to use, but grips much

Cons: A little pricier than others in the same range

Pros: Light, Comfortable, Fast Charging, lots of power.
Cons: Hard to find a deal on. Bit holder or level would be nice.

Pros: BATTERY LIFE and the true working KEYLESS chuck!!!!
Cons: Case is a little cheap looking.
Summary: By far the best drill/driver I have ever used. The battery life is absolutely incredible. It outlast anything else here on my job-site. They are a little bit more expensive, but the ol' saying comes back to me. You get what you pay four. I have used

Pros: Smooth running, great keyless chuck
Cons: Expensive, balance/weight uncomfortable
Summary: Panasonic makes great cordless drills/drivers. They are well designed and last a long time. Probably the best 2 things about them is the flawless chuck design (holds even the smallest of bits in place without coming loose), and the long 3.5Ah runtime
