Overview
PORTER-CABLE PCC601LB is a 20V cordless drill/driver from PORTER-CABLE's 20V MAX line, running at up to 1500 RPM with a 1.3 amp motor. It suits homeowners and light duty users who need a compact driver for basic drilling and driving tasks around the house.
The 1.3 amp rating and 1500 RPM top speed place this drill in the lighter end of the cordless lineup rather than a heavy duty contractor tool. It runs on PORTER-CABLE's 20V MAX battery platform, so it can share batteries with other tools on that system if you already own one.
