Review on πŸ”‹ 2 Pack PCC685L Battery 6000mAh - Replacement for Porter Cable 20V Lithium Battery PCC680L, PCC682L, PCC681L, PCC685LP by Andy Thorson

You get what you pay for but it is ultimately expensive to do so!

Bought the impact drill for $79 at Farm and Fleet. Thought I was getting a good buy. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the battery charger and batteries were sold separately! Then I found out that my old drill bits don't fit in this impact drill, the chuck on the drill only takes drill bits with a hex shaped base. What turned out to be a great price turned into a significant cost. One other concern is that I am not sure that if I was to buy a Porter Cable cordless saw or other cordless tool, if these batteries will work because the batteries for a base drill are different than for an impact drill. Moral of the story is that you should only buy a Porter impact drill if you need the performance of an impact drill. The final cost is very expensive by the time you add all the ala-carte items that are needed to get the job done. I do trust and respect Porter Cable products but the added power of an impact drill is likely not needed for the average person given the cost.

Pros
  • Works great for the porter cable dust collector/vacuum, while I have the sander hooked up to it.
Cons
  • Price
