Reviews overall are quite good for the PORTER-CABLE Cordless Impact Driver.

Here's a rundown of the online reviews including pros and cons I found:

• It has the power and the punch to drive rather large screws and bolts into thick and dense materials.


• Compact, light weight, feels ergonomic and well balanced.


• It takes on the 18V Li-ion batteries of another new PC family of cordless tools.


• It has more than adequate power to drive even 6"x3/8" lag-bolts into dense wood without predrilling.


• The speed control is a bit unpredictable since it seems like either very slow or very fast and nothing in-between.howerver,some people complain about it.


• This is a very strong impact, last a long time and a good price.


• This impact driver also has a small LED light that helps you see your work as the daylight turns to night. P-C tools are not "Top-of the Line tools"; however, for the price they are very good for the average DIY handy-man.

Overall the product is highly rated with several 5 star reviews. Not all reviewers have compared this to other Impact Driver; however most are satisfied with the product. One of the few low ratings have to do with receiving a refurbished PORTER-CABLE Cordless Impact Driver rather than a new one.
