Kobalt 1/2" 24 volt MAX Drill Driver Review

Описание: Perfect for Heavy-Duty Tasks
If you are a contractor, installer, or someone that has to take on heavy-duty tasks on a frequent basis, the 24 volt max drill driver from Kobalt is a great solution. The heavy duty unit packs plenty of power to drill those large holes or drive the beefy fasteners that are frequently needed on the job site. This power is delivered to the brushless drill driver through a 24 volt platform with various amp hour batteries. Large holes and fasteners take a lot of torque to complete, and this unit has plenty of torque to get the job done.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, this unit still has the finesse to drive the smaller fasteners using the 23 clutch settings. Whether those delicate tasks are smaller screws or holes, the Kobalt 24 volt max drill driver can absolutely handle them.

Heavy duty tasks:

Drilling with:
Hole-saws
Spade bits
Forstner bits
Driving:
Lag bolts
Deck hardware
Fence hardware
Use the auxiliary handle!

If you are doing any hole or operation that needs high torque, this drill driver is up to the tasks. The Kobalt 1/2" 24 volt max drill driver can deliver the high power and torque needed utilizing brushless technology. Brushless technology is highly efficient and delivers 650 in-lbs of torque with long lasting life and runtime. This high torque allows the heavy duty tasks to be easily accomplished but as the opportunity to cause kickback to the user.

Kickback on a drill driver is something that can easily happen. It is when the drill driver's torque takes over after the bit or screw binds up but the drill driver has the power to continue. Trying to accomplish the high torque operations without the auxiliary handle may result in injury! Kobalt includes an auxiliary handle to help the user maintain control of the operation.
