PORTER-CABLE 20V MAX Cordless Drill and Impact Driver, Power Tool Combo Kit with 2 Batteries and Charger (PCCK619L2)

Great kit, I've used them a lot and they are holding up really well.

I have been using these Porter Cable drills / drivers for over 12 years. You can see in the picture that I have quite a collection. There are new and old mixed together in the picture, as I just bought another new set just for ''drill ''...no pun intended. I have also ordered the new high capacity batteries for these guys too. ( They charge fast ) . I am a hot rod guy, and use these drills like crazy on my cars. Many years ago I had Dewalt, and they gave up after two years. So, I took a chance on Porter Cable. They have been awesome for all these years. I use them almost every day in a ''hot rod setting'' They have a rough life with me !!

I bought it because I heard porter cable was a good brand regardless of comments people say I love this combo kit. I feel it brings more than some other brands like I have a ryobi subcompact drill. It’s a good drill what I don’t like it is that there is no bit or but holder and no belt clip it’s all separated you got to buy it online because home depot does not have it only the bits. It may not be important but it’s convenient to have the new brushless ryobi takes those things away and you got to buy it the old ryobi has them but the ryobi tools are mostly plastic like the sub compact drill of ryobi is plastic instead of metal like where the numbers are is plastic it’s usually metal that what I don’t like it I feel it it falls it might break. I saw this porter cable combo kit Snd I thought to give it a try I think these are awesome and powerful the drill feel as strong as the ryobi drill and the impact driver is strong for driving screw long and short but It may not be strong for lags or thick screws but that’s not what they are for it’s good for medium, light and semi heavy work I believe these can get most of the job done but if you need something stronger you might to check there hammer drill or look for another tool brand like a dewalt, makita or milwaukee and etc. even thought the porter cable feels and looks like a dewalt there are a few things for the pros the drill is brushless has a ratchet clutch where you lock the bit in place it locks has good lighting has a belt clip with a bit and bit holder. It has a battery indicator where it shows how much battery it has and has a red ring for drill or screwing screws and feels comfortable for the impact is about the same like the light and battery life check and accessories but it also puts a bit in with one hand and ejects. And this set comes with two batteries and a charger. These are the pros the cons are most there is no battery life check on the battery only on the drill and impact driver and the charger is not a fast charger it takes an hour to two hours to charge it which to me is not bad because you can buy the fast charger that charges in 45 minutes which I don’t know I have not bought one yet and the last con it that this is the only brushless porter cable has like no brushless circular saw or oscillating tool or saw saw just the drill and impact driver and these two tools are the only ones that have a battery check the other tools done which I think is a little disappointing and available online no store has it which is weird because I like them and I think are good tools but now are available to tractor supply stores so I think these are good for diy for projects inside and outside even farmers buy these tools I would believe but I think there good give it a try and ignore the negative comments of them until you try them for your selves who ever wants to buy it.

This was my first romp in the brushless field of power tools. I did my research and this combo is one of the highest recommended. I like Dewalt a lot, but I also like Porter Cable. Both companies have their quality control issues, but this drill combo is doing well with lots of use already!The battery tech here isn’t the cutting edge stuff we’re seeing from Dewalt and Milwaukee and others, but it’s a far cry better than my old Makita 18V combo that’s 12-13 years’ old. This is my first brushless tool set and first 20V set, so the upgrade has been beyond noticeable. It’s changed how I work!I highly recommend this combo. The tools are tough; the ergonomics are superb; they’re lightweight, powerful, and the battery life is excellent; the light is perfectly located on each drill; and the battery life indicator button and bit holder round out the convenience features. Get them. They’re great.

The impact seems to have even more power than the earlier, non-brushless models (I have three of the older style, all going strong after several years of very regular heavy duty home and farm project use)It's definitely lighter. One thing I did notice immediately is it doesn't seem to balance quite as well as the old style impacts. I think due to the lighter top/front of the tool because it does have a brushless motor causes it to "tip back" in your hand when using a larger style 4.0ah/5.0ah battery pack and requires a little more balancing in your hand/wrist during use. But not anything that wouldn't be easy to become accustomed to or prove burdensome.On the drill.... For the price of the tool individually, and the work done to redesign it, it's disappointing that the chuck surround (where you hold while tightening down bits in the chuck itself) is made of plastic.PC removed the magnets from both of these tools, disappointing in my opinion, particularly the impact (where occasionally I'm working with multiple fasteners/bits on the same project)The LED light is in a much better location. It shines UP towards the business end of the tools from the lower grip above the front of the battery. It also stays on for several seconds after you release the trigger, which I think is great.
