10.8V Litheon Impactor Fastening Driver
- REPLACEMENT CONTRACTOR Magazine (6/5/2007)
- Bosch. The 10.8V Litheon Impactor fastening driver is the smallest impact driver on the market, but delivers 60% more torque than an 18V drill/driver, the maker says. Measuring 6 inches tall by 6 1/2 inches long, the tool produces 1,800 rpm, 3,000 bpm, and 800 inch-pounds of torque. Other features include an LED work light, a hex quick-change chuck, and a sensitive, variable-speed trigger. 877-267-2499.
- Tool Test: Cordless Drill/Drivers
- TOOLS OF THE TRADE Magazine (4/5/2007)
- Twenty years ago, I worked with a Makita 9.6-volt pistol-grip drill/driver, a standout among cordless tools of the time. Since those early models, things have come a long way: more powerful motors; keyless, one-handed chucks; variable-speed triggers; automatic brakes; and batteries that just keep improving. Another advancement has been the addition of a hammerdrill function to many standard drill/drivers. Because it doesn't add much weight, size, or cost, many are opting for the purchase of a convenient, all-in-one cordless hammerdrill/driver, even if masonry drilling is not going to be the tool's primary function. It's just nice to have the versatility.
