That was the cost of the drill. Just the $100 combo - it is a better value to buy a new drill kit.
It's a nice drill, but what good as a nice drill if they won't replace the failed and poorly built charger. This is a rip off forcing customers to buy a new tool just because the charger failed.I am charging my 12v batteries now with a 12v car charger and will NEVER buy another Panasonic product again, because their service and customer care is zero.
AVOID PANASONIC TOOLS. I want to buy just a charger, but they won't sell it.
Refusing to sell just a charger at a reasonable price is terrible way to treat the customer. If the charger fails you will be forced to buy an entire new drill kit.It's a good drill, but one year and 10 months into the drills life the charger went pop and Panasonic will only sell a charger/battery combo for $100 plus $20 shipping.
Their customer support is based in the Philipines and while they were nice, they were useless in solving my problem.
Very powerful for its size. I bought this because of all the excellent reviews of it and am not disappointed. It is much much better than a 14.4v BD that I tried.
I use it almost everyday and have no complaints - good chuck - no wobble. I've had one of these for years - bought this one because my batteries died in my old one and it was cheaper to get another (with 2 batteries) than to just buy new batteries.
They will take about 6-8 falls from 15 feet and with duct tape it still works mostly. Enough power for most things and very good balance. If you do not think you need the latest and greatest gadget, this is the tool for you. Only used up 6 batteries. Very good buy.Panasonic EY6405FQKW 12-Volt Ni-Cad 3/8-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit I am a profesional cabinet installer, and I use two of these all day most every day. In 15 years I really have not worn one out.
Ordered new one the next day. Hurricane Gustav "got" the one we had just like this. Great drill. Had Panasonics for well over 10 years.
