Love this driver! Powerful and responsive, I'm using it with a impact driver set of bits which are perfect.

Not the high end one but it works great.

At 20v this is untouchable. Durable too. My favorite impact driver and line of drills in general.

UPDATE: after calling support, they are sending me the new model! They had a limited 3year warranty and they had no issue with the replacement. They stated 2 week delivery so I was going to give 1 star but good support is worth it's weight.Original Post: I really enjoyed this powerful little impact driving device. Bought it in July 2022 and now in December 2023 it is kinda useless. The light comes on but it just works less than half the time. I have never dropped it or damaged it... My DeWalts from 15 years ago still work and this hasn't even outlived the battery yet. Do not buy

I wanted an impact for my garage, and use Dewalt tools at work, but couldn't see spending Dewalt money for a driver at home. I went with this PC and am totally impressed. The power, and finesse of the variable trigger helps me do everything I want. Not sure there is an impact driver of this quality anywhere close to the price of this PC. Well built, nice features and all around solid tool

Solid product, I only added this as a replacement to one I had forever. I use this a lot in my profession daily. Great value for $, long battery life and tough in general.

Fine DIY value tool. Needed this as "companion" for the drill. Sure, PC is being "demoted" by red sister make! The make is best known for their 6 gallon pancake air compressor and useful carpentry tools and aids.Both of these brushed tools came with batteries, though, they're small. Still, these hold up fine for DIY. When first purchased, brushes still were available. Note DIY-focused TV ads of people using these.OK: Serious prosumers and pros dissuade from purchase--the brand seems to garner increasingly less respect and support from Stanley.Frankly, today's battery tools--even LiON and brushless--prove way over-hyped. Sure, such serious users are right--given their better talented and heavy usage.Certainly, a good LiOn, brushless tool "family" can provide better tool "coverage": Such a circ saw, for instance, often proves convenient. It can't yet match a better worm-drive or sidewinder saw, though. For pros, time is $: Sure, that makes sense!When proprietary tool batteries die, the owners then must bow down to the crazy tool fabricators. This situation is similar to printers/printer cartridges.I'm fine with 120V grinders, saws, multi-tools, angle grinders, and even rotary tools. Portable drills generally do offer better torque. (I do have a specialized 120V drill that tore the head off of a 1/4" hex bolt!)This setup replaces my expensive M18V cadmium drill. The PC drill is better, even given that the PC drill's chuck isn't metal. This sister product is just icing on the cake--works nominally--fine As for batteries, I might obtain better amp hours later on--maybe even at a $firewall price!Been $ burned by tool batteries before: Don't see the need for further investment now. Will attempt to obtain brushes, too. This setup fills in well, at this time.LiON/cordless drills are virtually essential for DIY'ers: Related drivers are keenly useful, too. For most of us, given the bulk of today's tech products, waiting is never the worst decision!(Toyota has come up with a solid-state battery: A "game-changer!" When such tools do come out--we'll likely see tool afficianodos grimace for awhile. Later on, they'll bow down to their beloved tool companies, yet again! They'll badly dent, their payment systems--yet again! Today's particular LiON paradigm so eagerly and quickly will be scrapped--as were past battery systems! Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good, now!)

After having purchased ALL the porter cable 20v MAX lithium tools, and having used them from a range to very demanding, to extremely simple tasks, which involves routinely using them well past their intended run times and overall stress tolerances, I feel I can now make a justified review, based on their performances over the course of roughly a year.The Porter Cable PCC641 20V MAX Impact driver is an extremely well made, and useful tool. It is technically the cheaper impact in their line, the PCC640 being the more higher end tool. The differences between the tools are on a very short list. The PCC641 is slightly longer than the PCC640 but really only by about 3/4". The PCC641 also has a slightly different handle feel than the PCC640, however this seems to be a reaccuring trend in all Porter Cables tools, the more expensive one always seems to be slightly different feeling. The cheaper PCC641 also has only one magnetic strip on top to hold bits, where as the PCC640 has two, one on each side. This feature, or lack there of really didn't matter to me as I removed the magnets because they would get crudded up with metal shavings from my shop. After taking apart both Impacts the motors, drive mechanisms and bearings all look nearly identical. The impact gear box on the PCC640 is slightly shorter however, which attributes to the tools 3/4" difference in length. The tools appear to me however to have identical rates, and strength of impact, so the size is just a convenience factor (fitting it in tighter spaces). I will admit I haven't used the PCC641 much as I prefer the smaller PCC640, however since they have the same internals I feel as though I can speak for it.I have used the impact for meaning projects, just some of which include, Installing new cabinets and studs for them, mechanic work including V6 Engine head gasket, Water Pump (X2), removing the dash, seats and wiring harness from a pickup to replace the heater core, building an addition on our house, building many shelves, hanging sheet rock, installing ceiling joists, driving 4" screws into studs, driving 6" long by 1/2" lag bolts and much more!! During all this the tool never acted up, never even stripped a fastener!!The trigger (on this and all variable speed tools in the lineup) is the perfect combination of sensitive and responsive. When I first used the tool I had a difficult time getting used to "feathering" the speed as to not drive the fastener too far, but after a few days I can now drive screws into sheet rock without going in too far, a sometimes overlooked but very useful feature. The tool also features a fairly bright LED that illuminates the work area when the trigger is pulled. The impact feature itself is also nice, I was actually always against impact drivers in the past due to my lack of experience, now I'm sold though, its a much better way to drive fasteners.Overall, the Porter Cable PCC641 is a great alternative to the higher end PCC640, which has essentially the same features, just in a minutely larger size. Unless you want to spring for the Kit that includes the higher end drill and Impact (PCC600 & PCC640), I say this is a great impact that will serve you very well for all sorts of jobs.Be sure and check out my Amazon profile for reviews on all 20V MAX Porter Cable tools
