Outstanding performance
Rating: 5
Purchased several months ago, and finally need to use it. Did some serious work/use in a couple of days. Performance was outstanding.

Great product worth the money.
Rating: 5
I received this as a Father's Day gift and was extremely surprised by the torque this little impact driver carries. It broke loose my lawnmower blades with ease. The drill I used to install the water hoses brackets to the side of the house and the hammer drill went through the mortar joint with ease. (I had already purchased the Bosch concrete bits last year). I would say at this point I am sold on the Bosch Brand. Great products as well as very competitive pricing.

Brushless what else could you ask for idh182 is great impactor. You can drive in screws or use socket set. Has plenty power. Easy to handle. Hds183 is great drill. Well balance and it has slim design.

great tool - a must for mechanics
Rating: 5
I bought this set 2 years ago and used it almost every day .Never had a single problem . The batteies are still 100% after that time ,. Powerfull impact will loosen up even 1/2 inch bolts and nuts and is small enough to fit in tight spots . Would by set anytime again - more than happy with it.

The best impact driver I have ever used
Rating: 4
I am a commercial electrician and I bought this combo around 3 years ago. I will put this impact driver up against any other impact driver on the market, I have used other top$$ brands. This driver has taking lug nuts off of cars!! The drill on the other hand is not so impressive. The two problems I have with this drill is 1. The battery will lose connection quite frequently and you have to take the battery out blow on it and clean the terminals on the battery contacts of the drill. Very irratating!! 2. The chuck of this drill does not hold all that tight. I have lost my uni-bit down finished walls two times to many just because the chuck losens up when you start drilling. If not for those two things I would have rated 5.

Durable drill
Rating: 5
Once I recieved my drill I read over the instructions and began charging one of the batteries. The first thing I noticed was something I had never seen before, a "damage" indicator. It lets you know if the battery is damaged so it takes the guess work out of reasons why the battery wouldn't be charging. In a short time the indicator said it was ready to use. My first project was to hang a couple of fire extinguishers I had sitting around because all I had was a heavy cord drill. The screws went in with ease. The drill is very lightweight, quiet and yet powerful. This is a great addition to my power tool collection. And don't forget you don't have to wait for the battery to charge, because it comes with a spare!

This is a great drill
Rating: 5
This drill works really well and fast. It has a brushless motor which causes it to be able to run for a really long time. It is light weight and relatively compact so it fits into tight corners which is helpful when trying to fix things around the house. It runs for a long time . It uses 2 Lithium ion batteries which are included in the box. It also comes with a charger. Overall, it's a great drill for a house owner to have to be able to fix things and do simple building projects.

So easy to use
Rating: 5
I am deathly afraid of power tools of any kind so me using a drill was a surpise to me and everyone else. I was so afraid to use it, but it was easier to use than I expected. The drill bits from were easy to find and purchase for drilling (It only comes with the screwdriver bit) but the bits aren't expensive, and I just needed to hang curtain rods so it wasn't major (boyfriend went overboard and bought lots). Two batteries are awesome. I heard the drill going for a while in back when they were fixing the gutters. Now we don't have to borrow the neighbor's anymore. Recharging is easy and doesn't take very long. Neighbor is a construction worker and he loves it, he didn't want to give it back. I'd say that is a positive recommendation for it in my book any day.

Five Stars
Rating: 5
Every carpenter I have seen at the renovation at my home had this brand. The grips felt good in my hand giving me a good grip on the drill. Really enjoy this drill. Light, strong, and very user friendly. Excellent tool. Well made. Very powerful. The batteries last long between charges. It is driven by a brushless motor. Very smooth and efficient.Great drill. I use this drill constantly in the winter with roto brushes when tuning race skis. The two included batteries allows for continual use. Good power and speed. The power control is excellent. It can carefully and slowly rotate with precision or drill away at high speed. I used the drill to build furniture, drill holes in walls, etc. Came with 2 batteries and a nice charger that shows when a battery is full. The LED built into the drill body is pretty bright. Definitely adequate to see what you are drilling even in total darkness. Adds a nice additional amount of light even when working in daylight that helps in shadows. Over all I am very pleased with the drill. More than enough power to get the job done for household stuff. Battery lasts for a long time. I charge it after using I for a dozen little jobs.Easy to operate and get the job done. I highly recommended this product

Easy to use and plenty of power

I am always nervous about limited torque in a cordless drill. This one has plenty of torque and was really easy to see up and charge. The unit is lightweight and sturdy. I also appreciate how quickly it chatges.

Great Improvement

I used to use corded Porter Cable products years ago and they never failed me. I am now upgrading my power tools to the recent line of 20v Porter Cable. This driver is by far much better than expected and so far I'm going on 3 weeks on a single charge, (20V 4Ah battery). Great job Porter Cable.

Good drill for the diy
Rating: 4
I have several porter cable drills and this one is just as good in performance. The battery that comes with it is smaller than the other drills I have but it is brushless and seems to have more power. The 2 speed and torque settings are good and the keyless check works well. The battery life is good. The only thing I would like to have on it is a battery level indicator. Great product.
