The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The PORTER-CABLE PCCK607LB operates on a 20V battery platform with a 1.5A battery and reaches 1,800 RPM, placing it in a capable mid-tier for general drilling and driving. Priced at $166.99, it is positioned above budget 20V options and competes directly with DEWALT and Makita in the mid-range segment.
The 5-pound total weight is the spec that creates the most meaningful trade-off. Other 20V drills in this category weigh considerably less. For users who primarily drill standing at a bench or on flat surfaces, the weight matters less. For overhead work or extended use in tight spaces, 5 pounds adds up through a workday.
With 1,000 reviews at 4.6 stars and around 50 units sold monthly, the PCCK607LB has a solid but moderate demand profile. The 4.6-star average shows owners are satisfied when they choose it, but the monthly sales volume suggests buyers at this price are increasingly looking at competing platforms.
Pros
- 1,800 RPM top speed is competitive for a 20V mid-range drill
- 4.6-star average from 1,000 reviews indicates consistent owner satisfaction
- 20V platform with standard 1.5A battery draw
Cons
- 5-pound weight is notably heavy for a drill driver compared to sub-3-pound competitors
- At $166.99, the value is harder to justify against lighter drills at similar or lower prices
- Monthly demand of 50 units is lower than competing models at this price tier
