Though the drill/driver and impact driver have a lighter weight and a more compact size, they still are ideal for helping with a wide range of jobs thanks to their power and high performance. It starts with the drill/driver’s 2-speed gearbox that brings high-speed drilling, at 0-315 and 0-1,200 rpm, and its 220 inch-pounds of max torque for high-torque fastening. Also, the impact driver provides 950 inch-pounds of torque, but still avoids any kickback, making it easier on the user while not sacrificing any performance.

In addition, the impact driver has a 1/4-inch quick-release hex chuck that makes it possible to have rapid accessory changing, thereby saving time on the job. The LED work lights help to make work easier in low lighting or dim areas, while the magnetic belt hooks keep the tools close and ready for action, and the magnetic bit holders keep the screws in order.
