Lots of Power
Rating: 5
I bought this impact thinking it would be good for doing small screws like cabinet screws, but I use this for everything. This impact has no problem driving in 3 to 4 inch screws like deck screws. It's lightweight and small enough to fit into a tool pouch.

small and pacs a punch
Rating: 5
I have had this little driver now for 6 months and can not be more impressed. I thought I would use it just for quickly removing small screws but this tool will drive and remove large screws from tough hard to reach places. Really packs a punch for its size.

This is a very compact and powerful driver. Easily fits between joists and studs and has enough power in one battery to drill dozens of 5/8" holes for romex thanks to the two speed gear box. The clutch makes the driver great for quickly mounting cover plates without damage. If I only had one it would be this. The only improvement I would make is a battery level meter like the impact driver.

Great drivers, even better support
Rating: 5
At work, I bought this drill driver for installing self-tapping sheet metal screws in ducting and appliance repair. Worked great... bought another & then another. Accidentally dropped one 12' on concrete... still works! Over worked one and it burnt the circuitry. Bosch promptly repaired under warranty & returned. Compact power compared to other small drivers. Tool fits a niche; more finesse than a larger drill/ driver. Still have 18V for big stuff.

Best screw gun yet!

I've owned this gun for over two years and it's always the first tool I reach for in practically every project around the house. I've yet to find a job it won't do.

GREAT TOOL

GOOD TORQUE, BUT WHY IS THERE NOT A MAGNET IN THE 1/4 CHUCK. THIS IS A SCREW GUN IT SHOULD HOLD THE SCREWS. DO I HAVE A LEMON OR ALL PS 21'S WITHOUT MAGNET

good for crafts, not for work
Rating: 3
Nice driver with needed features but one battery won't power the driver long. If you plan to run a lot of screws or drill & tap a lot of holes then this line of Bosch power drills/drivers is not for you. Poor battery capacity !!! Plan on always charging your next battery while you are working because you'll need it sooner than later. If all you need is a drill for crafting then these will do. They fit the hand well and are nice to use... until they run out of juice.

Great drill
Rating: 5
This handheld drill is fantastic. It charges quickly and holds the charge for quite a while. Another great aspect of this drill is that it comes with two batteries. So you will always have a backup ready. I used my drill to hang up my family photos throughout my house and it was extremely easy. I've used other drills in the past and I've never known when the battery was going to run out. A beautiful feature about this is that on the drill itself it gives you a battery reader to let you know how much life you have left. This girl is great for men and women and I would highly recommend it to anybody.

Little Powerhouse
Rating: 5
I have been needing a new power drill for quite some time. My old one would not hold a charge for long and it was big and heavy. When I saw this drill I thought it would be a great fit and it was. My first project was to install a full motion wall mount for my television and then install a glass wall shelf for my DVD player. The battery was already charged when I put it on the drill so all I needed to do was get started. I took a picture of the size of the drill in my hand so that others can see how compact it really is. As a woman I want it to work and not be worn out when I'm done. This drill is perfect for those who want lighter weight tools that actually work as hard as the heavier ones. This drill was able to drill a hole into some pretty thick hard wood. I thought I was going to have to get my big electric drill but it pushed through and finished drilling the holes for both jobs. I love the smaller size, the light helps when drilling in dimly lit areas, and that there are two batteries so you don't have to stop a project because the battery died. I also like the extra power you get for drilling holes compared to putting in screws. There is also a 2 setting to give it extra power for those hard to drill materials, like the studs in my walls. It's definitely worth a buy and it fit in my old drill case so I didn't have to go buy one.

my very own drill

WE are in the middle of a few major home renovations and I love having my own drill. As we go about renovating my parents old craftsman house, I can work in really tight spaces and don't have to worry about a drill cord. The best thing ever is cordless!

Powerful, Useful, and Handy
Rating: 5
This drill by Porter Cable has the proper weight and power for a professional style product. It's a very powerful tool. I highly recommend. Price for this type quality cannot be matched. It feels more powerful than other drills I have at home. I wrote this review as part of a contest.

Great drill
Rating: 5
I have owned other Porter Cable drills dating back to the 12V days. The new drill (607) is lightweight and holds a charge a lot longer. Was concerned with the power...not a problem. Only concern is the chuck...hope it holds up. Have had the drill a year and so far, so good. I use it almost daily. Too bad the plastic case is not included any more. Would recommend this drill for most jobs but I use a corded Hammer Drill for concrete, etc.

Durable, quality drill great for homeowner project
Rating: 5
Excellent quality, durable drill. Relatively lightweight, but powerful. Batteries last a long time at least compared to other drills I have owned. The light is handy when working in dark areas. I also like the battery indicator so you know how much power is remaining.

Great all purpose drill
Rating: 5
Just received this drill recently as a gift and already put it to good use installing some cabinets and shelves in the garage. The drill has nice power and the battery life is excellent! One thing I noticed is it's seems to have more torque than a different cordless drill I have. I would recommend giving this a try.

Awesome All-Purpose Drill
Rating: 5
This is a really great all-purpose drill that is very handy to have around the house! Using it is easy enough for a beginner, but it also has capabilities that any level of skill can appreciate it. Battery lasts a while and also love how compact it is! Would recommend! I am a Walmart associate writing this review as part of a contest.

Porter Cable 20v very compact drill-driver
Rating: 4
Porter Cable 20 volt drill driver #PCCK607LB includes two batteries with 1.5Ah capacity and one charger. This Porter Cable 20 volt drill driver is more powerful, smoother and balanced than my 5 year old Ryobi 18 volt drill driver. Handle is more rubbery and comfortable. As with most drills today, they include 2 speeds with 22 drill modes and ½ inch keyless chuck. One of the most important things I like is how it is almost as compact as my Ryobi 18 volt impact driver which is really nice. In the past, I had situations where I could not use my drill driver but with this one it should not be a problem anymore because it is very compact as I mentioned. I did not time how long it takes to charge the batteries, but it is quick enough and because there are two included, you can always use one while the other is charging. I am not a fan of the charger that clips on batteries, instead I prefer the batteries seating into a charger. Porter Cable also comes with a belt hook-clip which can be installed on either side of tool which is a very nice feature that my old one doesn’t offer (very useful when working on a ladder). Another feature I like is that led light stays on 20 seconds after you release trigger. It is very disappointing that a carrying case of any kind was not included because the drill driver is one of the tools that is most carried. It is also used more than any other tool and in my past experience, every other manufacturer includes some type of case with their products. Overall, the Porter Cable drill driver kit is a great value especially for homeowners.
