I’m replacing an old drill that originally cost $99
It’s always been my experience to buy a double battery drill. However over the years the NiCads wear out, & it’s more expensive to replace the batteries than to buy a new drill kit.
I was just reading the Sears ad for 14.4 volt 3/8 Drill w/ two batteries.
Reg. $59.99 – marked down $10.00- to $49.99 thru 12/09/06
However, this Kawai’ is 19.2v w/ two batteries & a 20pcs drill & bit set for an eqivalent price, shipping included.
p.s. I love that bright green color!

I bought this for my husband who had asked especially for this brand. It was for his birthday and he loves it.

I am very pleased with this product so far. It is well worth the money.

The only reason I rated the Kawasaki 19.2 drill 4 stars instead of 5 is because you are not able to leave the spare battery in the charger for a trickle charge. The instructions tell you to remove the battery from the charger after an hour or two.
Performance-wise, I would rate it 5 stars as it is every bit as good as the Dewalt 18 volt it replaced at 1/3 to 1/2 the cost.

I got this drill as a gift. This drill will work good for occasional use for a home owner but would not stand everyday use and abuse for someone who uses it for work.
I just recently bought a 18v heavy duty dewalt drill and when you compare them side by side the dewalt is clearly a better drill.
Pros:
- Bubble level
- 25 Torque settings
- cheap, good for budget minded people.
Cons:
- The feel and grip of the dewalt is very nice and ballanced compared the the kawasaki.
- The kawasaki is very light compared to the dewalt.
- The 19.2 battery is also very light compared to the 18v dewalt battery which makes me wonder…
- 3/8″ chuck, in lieu of a 1/2″
- Slow charging
- Battery drains pretty fast.
I’ve bought many cheep drills over time and have gone through them all very fast. I recommend getting a better quality drill, as it will last you much longer. Spend the extra money, you get what you pay for. If you buy a DeWalt, Makita, Bosch, or even a craftsman you will be much happier.
